I loved the location being so close to Paddington Station and walkable to Hyde Park. The beds were comfortable and the hotel very quiet. Only negative was the shower. It was impossible to shower without wetting my hair. Slight inconvenience. Otherwise all good.

Good stay for the price

Decent stay, easy walk from Paddington station. Was able to check in early. Our room was street level and at the front of the hotel which was pretty noisy in July when you need the windows open to keep cool. There was a fan in the room which was quite a nice surprise!

Tired but serviceable

Location is good close to Paddington station. I don’t know how other rooms compared but mine was in the basement and needed attention on decor. It had a tiny shower cubicle with a great big overhead shower head. The floor moved and light got in all night from a light permanently on in the hallway through a small window with a net curtain. It looked like the room had had damp problems too, lumpy walls that had been painted over. Staff were fine on the check-in desk.

This property is within easy walking distance of Paddington station. We were able to leave our bags in the lobby early in the morning, before our room was ready, on our day of arrival and after check-out on the day of departure, which was very convenient. It was next to the lift, so we expected it to be noisy, but the soundproofing was very good. There were no breakfast facilities, which was fine for us, and it completely served our purposes, we'd definitely stay here again

Well located

Very small room but as advertised just dont think i understood quite how small it would be. Well located. Bed ok. Shower was very grubby with stains on bottom. Bathroom smelt incredibly damp and musty. Only one towel each. Room far too warm and no ac so had to have window open all night. Being beside lift was a little noisy. Staff friendly and left luggage facility.

Not much to be done as this area’s hotels are all smaller & old fashioned…so no AC, which was tough for sleeping. However its proximity to Paddington (and thus the Heathrow express) helps make up for the rest.
