Park Avenue Bayswater Inn Hyde Park

Park Avenue Bayswater Inn Hyde Park Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Park Avenue Bayswater Inn Hyde Park on Princes Square, you immediately get that classic London townhouse vibe — you know, the kind where Georgian buildings have been cleverly converted into something modern but still feel authentically British. It’s a four-star property that doesn’t try too hard to impress, which I actually appreciate. The entrance feels welcoming rather than intimidating, and honestly, after a long day of travel, that’s exactly what you want.

Prime Hyde Park Territory

Here’s what I love about this spot in London — you’re literally a two-minute walk from Hyde Park’s northeast corner, which means early morning jogs or evening strolls are basically mandatory (in the best way). Bayswater has this perfect mix of residential calm and tourist accessibility that’s hard to find elsewhere. Lancaster Gate tube station is right there, so getting to Westminster or the West End takes maybe fifteen minutes. The couples who stay here clearly get it — there’s something romantic about having Hyde Park as your backyard, especially during those long summer evenings when the park stays busy until sunset.

The Room Experience

My room was compact but thoughtfully designed — this isn’t a place where you’ll be hosting dinner parties, but everything you need is there and works well. The beds are properly comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms, while not huge, feel clean and modern. What struck me most was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re in central London. Those thick Georgian walls actually do their job, and Princes Square itself doesn’t get much through traffic.

Morning Fuel

The breakfast situation here is solid — they do both a full English spread and a buffet setup, so whether you want the works or just grab some pastries and coffee, you’re covered. I mean, it’s not going to change your life, but it’s hearty and gets you ready for a day of London walking. The dining area gets busy around 8 AM, so if you’re an early riser like me, getting there by 7:30 means you’ll have your pick of tables and a more relaxed start to the day.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is the location-to-value ratio — you’re paying for a genuine central London experience without the eye-watering prices of Mayfair or Covent Garden. The staff seem to actually know the neighborhood well, which helps when you need directions or recommendations that go beyond the obvious tourist spots. Recent guests have been rating the location highly for good reason — it’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying in a real London neighborhood rather than just a hotel district. Plus, having Hyde Park right there means you’ve got this massive green space to escape to whenever the city gets overwhelming, which in London, happens more often than you’d think.

Hotels in Central London hug royal parks, embankment promenades, and neighborhoods buzzing with galleries.
