Bottom Line
The 59-room Native Hyde Park is an apartment-style hotel in centrally located Paddington. Situated in an elegant London row house, the four-pearl property is across from charming Sussex Gardens. Apartment decor ranges from ultra-luxe to minimalist-chic, with flat-screen TVs, stainless steel and Bosch kitchen appliances, and bathrooms with heated towel racks and products from The White Company. Freebies include Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, and milk that's restocked daily. Higher-end flats can have more lavish bedding, bigger closets, and iPod docks. But there's little in the way of features: no room service, on-site parking, fitness center, restaurant, or bar. Some guests say there's noise on lower floors and some less-than-clean living spaces. Travelers seeking a quieter neighborhood and a better rate might opt for Grand Plaza Serviced Apartments in Bayswater.

Swank interiors set inside a classic London row house with elegant architectural details
The Native Hyde Park is situated in a quintessential London residential setting. The hotel is one among a block of elegant terraced row houses set behind iron gates with stately columns. Just across the street is a charming, horseshoe-shaped formal English garden with lawns and wooden benches. Three white Carrera marble steps lead up to the hotel's entrance, revealing a lobby that's swank -- and a little sexy. But decor can be a bit of a grab-bag of styles.
Guests of Native Hyde Park tend to be business travelers looking for long- and short-term stays. The hotel also attracts families and other leisure travelers seeking space in a central location who don't mind skipping out on extensive amenities.
Location
Prime location near Hyde Park and other top London sights; two tube stations within a five-minute walk
Native Hyde Park's convenient Paddington location is one of its top draws. The hotel sits across the street from pretty Sussex Gardens, a classic English park square, with formal landscaping and benches. It's also within walking distance of Hyde Park in addition to other top London sights and areas of interest. Two tube stations -- Paddington and Lancaster Gate -- are a short walk away.

Rooms
Decor from minimalist-chic to ultra-luxe, with flat-screen TVs, Bosch appliances, and The White Room bath products
Rooms at The Native Hyde Park span the design spectrum. All are modern, airy, and well-lighted. The dominant overall presentation is decidedly attractive and upscale.
There are units done in midcentury decor, with natural fabrics and designer-style seating from names like Eames and Saarinen. Higher-category rooms have a more dramatic look, with plush sofas, low lighting, and bedding in striking hues. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, phones, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms have heated towel racks, walk-in showers with glass doors, marble walls, and are stocked with products from well-known London retailer The White Company.
Kitchens are streamlined with cabinets in white lacquer or rustic-chic wood veneer, stainless steel appliances and smooth surface cooktops, and Bosch dishwashers and combination washer/dryers. Electric kettles, toasters, cookware, and utensils sit on counters, and tableware is neatly stowed out of view. Coffee, tea, and a daily bottle of fresh milk are stocked free. Tables that seat up to four people are set up in eating or living areas.
Perks in higher-end rooms vary: some have iPod docking stations, eye-catching drum pendants, or floor-to-ceiling French doors with transoms and views of Sussex Gardens. Bathrooms can come with bathtubs or rainfall showers.
Features
Few amenities with no on-site restaurant, bar, or parking but free Wi-Fi throughout and 24-hour concierge
Like many apartment-style stays, Native Hyde Park lacks a range of amenities typically found at full-service hotels. While there's a 24-hour concierge stationed at the reception desk and free Wi-Fi throughout, the hotel doesn't have room service, on-site parking, a fitness center, or a restaurant and bar.
