The staff was very helpful. The luggage check in was very convenient. The location was excellent very close to Paddington station. The breakfast was very nice. The shower pressure was non existent. The room looked clean but we had some mishaps. It was very hot with no a/c and the fan wasn’t great.

The hotel decor is quaint and the neighbourhood is charming. Lots of restaurants and pubs and easy access to bus and train transportation. The room was air conditioned, which was very nice, and there was a small bar refrigerator in the room, which was convenient. The bathroom faucet had non-potable water and the fountain / bottle-filler in the lobby did not have cold water. Check-in and check-out were smooth.
