Close to Paddington station, nice clean rooms and general area. Beds a bit dated and bathrooms are really tight still very clean. Plenty of choices healthy and favorites at breakfast. Water in the bathroom not being potable freaked my daughter out but there is a water filing station on the first floor. We were on 3rd floor, last set of stairs had an attic like feel. All in all enjoyed our short stay and breakfast.
