 I didn t think that the public seating areas were sufficiently large There is a restaurant open all day and a seating are with tables and chairs but no other public lounge at least not one that I found Otherwise we both enjoyed our weekend and were comfortable in the hotel Just be aware that there is a Hilton Hotel at Queensway 200 yards down the road and taxi drivers can be confused unless you specify Hilton DoubleTree on the the corner of Bayswater Road and St Petersburgh Place 
 The hotel is modern clean and easily accessible Staff were efficient and friendly I reported a plumbing problem which was fixed very promptly Hyde Park is very close as is Portobello Road Market We walked into the West End through the park without difficulty South Kensington is similarly accessible and has Shops Museums and of course The Albert Hall The Bayswater Road is a main route and is well served by bus tube and taxis Euston is about 20 minutes by taxi I liked the fact that each bedroom has a Nespresso Machine I was only sad to find a small number of coffee capsules 3 Possibly more would have been available for the asking It certainly led me to the Nespresso Boutique in Regent Street so the product placement was effective in my case
