Students and faculty will be staying at the Rhodes Hotel, just north of Hyde Park. The Rhodes Hotel, located at 195 Sussex Gardens, London W2 2RJ, is a Georgian home located almost equidistant between Paddington Station and the Lancaster Gate Underground. It’s just 200 yards north of Hyde Park and about a mile west of the U.S. Embassy. Lancaster Gate is on the Central Line, and Paddington Station houses both trains and stops for the Circle, District, and Bakerloo lines on the London Underground.
The neighborhood is dominated by similar old Georgian homes and is a favorite of students. It is located just outside the Congestion Zone, so it has many little conveniences like laundries, convenience stores, pubs and restaurants.
The hotel itself is owned and operated by Chris and Maria Crias, a pair of Greek expatriates who personally greet their guests, prepare breakfast for them, and often sit down for conversation. Besides the friendly atmosphere and the convenient location, hotel is typical for London and Europe. Rooms are very small, and the Internet WiFi bogs down if we all try to get on at once (every night).
Each room has a private bath, a small desk, a hair dryer, and a small refrigerator. Breakfast is served in a small room in the basement of the main building. That breakfast consists of cereal, toast, jam, yogurt, breakfast rolls, fruit, juice, and cold cuts.
