Curzon Plaza

My gf and I stayed at the Curzon Plaza for four nights in August, 2009. We were upgraded to a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was renovated and fully self contained with free wi-fi. We paid a bit under $150 AUD per night from memory. Green Square tube station is just a short walk away. Great place to stay for first-timers.

I left my suit in the wardrobe and the staff could not be more helpful in assisting me retrieve it. We were extremely happy with Curzon Plaza. Thanks again.

Would definately recommend this place, based on our experience.

OK, this one really is a mixed bag. Let me start with the negatives. This place is no frills, and the furniture is a bit worn. Could have used some curtains (in addition to the venetian blinds) in the bedroom to block the morning light.. There is no coffee maker, but there are facilities for instant coffee and that worked out OK. The water pressure in the shower was the worst of our two week trip to England. The floors (and hence the ceiling below the floor above us) were very creaky, and did bother us quite a bit.

However - the apartment was HUGE! The portable AC unit in the living room, though a bit disconcerting at first, actually worked well to cool the entire apartment.. We had a room overlooking the interior courtyard which made the room fairly quiet from city noise (except for the planes from Heathrow and the creaking upstairs).. The kitchen was fairly large for an accommodation such as this with a mini-fridge, microwave, and cooktop and a good selection of pots, pans,and dishes (if you desire to cook while in London). The location - 1 1/2 blocks from the Green Park tube station - cannot be beat! And the staff was very pleasant throughtout our entire stay. While it is not inexpensive, it is a fairly good value for London and I would probably stay here again.

Please do not be fooled, the rooms are not as advertised on their website. You could say I was the fool, cheap price in Mayfair should have said it all!!! Our friends had to change their rooms twice, due to smell and general condition of room.

We would not have booked if their webiste advertised the rooms we stayed in, very dated (70's) style. If you want budget and do not mind the asthetics then this is reasonably priced and value for money.

BEWARE!!!!!
