The hotel is alright and the breakfast is good. The mattresses and pillows are quite hard though, and the rooms don't have any air conditioning, which makes for difficult sleeping on warm summer nights

Phoenix Hotel was wonderful. We will stay here the next time we come to London. Location was perfect. Close to Bayswater subway station and lots of restaurants and little grocery. The breakfast was great. We were very happy with our stay and can’t wait to go back.

I was very impressed with the Phoenix Hotel. I have stayed in a number of budget hotels in London and usually they are mostly in a pretty poor state, run down and dirty. I thought the Phoenix was very good value for money. The room was pleasant and clean, and there was a decent Continental breakfast with plenty of options included in the price. Good location too, within walking distance of Hyde Park, the V&A and the Natural History Museum. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others.

It is a nice hotel. But no A/C in the rooms is difficult on a humid summer's day. They didn't even put a blanket on the bed because it would not be used.
