Great location, few minutes walk from Paddington station and underground. Loads of places to eat nearby. Fridge in the room was great for food and drink. I was in a single room with a good hairdryer, 7 plug sockets, 2 USBs, decent sized TV. Nighttime lighting in the bathroom. Very comfy bed. Could hear the trains but didn't keep me awake. Continental breakfast with some hot items was a bonus. Staff friendly. Yes it was a bit tired in the communal areas but rooms were very clean and great value. I would stay again

The location is perfect - inbetween Regent's and Hyde Park and a few minutes away from Paddington Basin and station. The hotel is in need of renovation - we were on the 4th floor with steep stairs - breathless when we reached the room!! The room was small but clean and quiet.

Good economy room with three separate beds, good for traveling with teens. The room was in the cellar, had low natural light and smelled damp. There were mold stains in the bathroom. There was the metro traffic under the floor - it went on till late and started early, one could hear the trains and feel the room rattling a bit with each train. That was a bit unpleasant. Breakfast was OK, not too many healthy options though. All in all - when traveling with teens, it's an OK room, not too terrible. Location is good.

Our room was very clean, staff were lovely. Although we didn't use use the games facilities, it was nice to see what was offered. Couldn't fault the breakfast, the scrambled egg was as good as we've had in a very long time. Due to our train times changing we arrived far earlier than the advertised check-in time, but the reception staff were wonderful and as our room was ready, allowed us to check-in, which meant we could head into London earlier than anticipated. There was some noise from the Underground, but as we had requested (and were given) a ground floor room and we were only a few minutes from Paddington station it was hardly surprising. It certainly wasn't an issue and if anything, probably rocked us to sleep. Plenty of power sockets and a USB port, so charging phones was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

The room is very small and there is no lift, making it difficult to reach the fourth floor. It is also quite noisy, and the water pressure is poor. The location is excellent, but I would have expected a little more for the money.
