Rated 4.2 out of 5:
We were only in the hotel a short while as we were sightseeing then out for a meal and a show in the evening. The hotel rooms do seem a little tired and could do with a little updating but in another way it fits with the age of the building etc. The rooms were clean and comfortable, location fantastic, breakfast brilliant and I would stay there again. We didn't have the quadruple room which I had originally booked due to it being refurbished but the hotel accommodated us by putting us in a double and a twin room. This caused no problem to us.
There was nothing I could say I didn't like about the hotel, only reiterate again that it could do with updating a little.

Rated 4.5 out of 5:
There are one or two reviews of this hotel which mention shabiness. I suspect that the promised refurbishment is having an effect because we found a well appointed, smart place with a good, clean and well decorated room. Breakfast was fine. Good location with some general shops and a pub or two nearby. We were at Wembley to see Carlisle finally win a Cup Final, quite handy with a walk to Baker Street tube, and the hotel is a reasonable walk from Kings Cross on a decent day (oh, and the Euston Flyer pub between St Pancras and Euston Stations is good for food and beer, by the way).

After reading some of the reviews of this hotel on here I was concerned about going to the Astor Court Hotel.
To be fair to it there's nothing wrong with it. It's in a good location. The rooms are a reasonable size. The staff are helpful.
But there's nothing amazing about it.
The breakfast is a help yourself continental affair. Again there's nothing wrong with it but there's isn't anything special about it either.
The hotel could do with some updating but if you're looking for some where central to crash in central London this is a good selection

OK- before booking a hotel in London, we trawled all the review sites. Basically most hotels under £200 a night in a good location have mixed reviews- many comments mention hotels are older and suffer common problems such as old fashioned, small rooms, noise from Underground, no lift, miserable staff etc. so we were prepared for the worst. OK, the negatives first- hotel was older and a little tired especially the stair carpets (very Austin Powers). The luggage rooms were pokey and undecorated and the room had a suspicious odour of cigarette smoke (did not last too long once we got some windows open, The bathroom was pretty clean although a little "mix and match" and the shower mixer was temperamental. Now the middle ground- the staff varied between indifferent and excellent- the breakfast girl was a joy! There was a lift but quite small. There was noise from the Underground but we were too tired to notice when in the room. The room was well decorated and clean although the desk and office chair took up much space. Now the good stuff- walk in off the street and pay £175 a night for a double. We paid just over £70 by shopping around on the net. My favourite thing of note were the shoe shining machines on each floor- quirky! The room came with tea and coffee facs., hairdryer, trouser press, LCD TV, telephone, free digital safe and plenty of storage. The breakfast, although continental, was plentiful, the breakfast room was clean and bright and just a great start to the day. And finally the location- 5 mins walk to Regents Park or Regent Street, 10 min amble to Oxford Street, 2 mins to Great Portland St Underground, loads of pubs, delis and eateries nearby- busy with friendly media types from BBC Radio, Dave and the like. Recommend Villandry for gifts/ nibbles, Horse and Groom for a homely cheap pub, The Albany for trendy young things with the best pint of Peroni I have ever tasted and Sergios (as recommended to me by Steve Lemacq!) for some home cooked Italian fare that won't break the bank. Happy!
