I'm not too happy with my stay at this hotel. The first impression was the requirement that we pay for the whole stay at checkin. I asked if I could see the room first. A request that was denied. Since it was 10pm and we were in an unfamiliar city we had no leverage whatsoever and had to pay. The... More

We were 4 and stayed for 4 days in a 4 persons room. The room was clean and quiet, the beds were good, people were nice. Everything was very small and cosy. Very nice place to stay and really practical in the center of London.

We stayed here midweek and the location was very good for central London. The bed was comfy enough but the room was very small and you can not walk around the bed as the wardrobe was in the way on one side. When we arrived, the bathroom (tiny closet space) smelled of damp so we put on the fan and... More

I stayed one night here on a fourth floor room which was rather small. However, it was very cheap, clean, included breakfast and was in a great location. Great for one or two nights for singles or couples although I wouldn't recommend the place for kids of say under 13.

A really lovely little hotel! The staff were all really friendly, the room was clean, comfortable and had everything you could need (clean towels, hair dryer, soap, TV etc), the breakfast room was light, delicious fresh coffee and juice, basically everything about this hotel was fantastic! I would recommend anyone to check it out, the only problem can be finding... More

We stayed at the Craven just before Christmas 2012. It made our vacation. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. and the place is affordable. I would never stay anywhere else. Great. Thank you. James D from NY, USA

This is anything but a 3 stars hotel. Actually this shouldn't even be considered a hotel at all, it's an improvisation. We had a room at the 2nd floor (room 202) and we had to climb our luggage on some tight stairs with a dirty carpet on them. There was no elevator at all. The room was tiny, we haven't... More

Rooms are small but this is London where space is expensive. It was very clean though. Free wifi. No elevators but most old hotels do not anyway. Breakfast was just bread, ham and cheese. The staff are nice enough. The hotel is a few minutes away from Paddington station. It is about 10 minutes walk to Kensington Gardens. There are... More

I visited earlier this year and have been meaning to write a review ever since. Determined that I was quite good at finding a bargain when it comes to holidays/city breaks I saw this hotel on a standard comparison booking website and at around £60 and having seen some respectable photos I thought this hotel would do for two nights...

Thank you ‘Chris809’ for your time to post a review. We are sorry that you had less than enjoyable stay at The Craven Hotel during your visit. Your visit must would have been when we just took over the Crown Hyde Park Hotel prior to the full renovation work at the hotel. As you correctly point out in your review... More
