The Royal Lancaster London is favored for its proximity to Lancaster Gate tube station and amazing views, especially from higher floors overlooking Hyde Park. Guests appreciate the modern, clean, and spacious rooms, some noting the good-sized bathrooms. While a few guests mentioned potential noise issues due to thin walls, the onsite parking and excellent Thai restaurant, Nipa Thai, are often highlighted as valuable assets.

plumbing noise missing supplies
I was annoyed that the coffee and tea supplies in my room weren't fully stocked upon arrival. i had to call housekeeping and wait nearly an hour for them to be replenished. the noise from the hotel's plumbing was also quite disruptive to my sleep. I could hear gurgling sounds whenever toilets were flushed on other floors. it really detracted from what i expected to be a peaceful stay and i expected better from this hotel.
