Great value for money
The property is great for the money you pay, very clean and the staff is friendly. Also kept my luggage for the day after check-out, which I really appreciated. The location is just by Paddington station, so very central, with everything in reach, both by bus and train. Would definitely recommend overall!

Excellent budget hotel Paddington
Excellent budget hotel. Stayed in another hotel in the street for the same price and left after one night due to the terrible state and found this place a few doors down. Like i said same price but much better value for money, the property has obviously been invested in substantially and the room while compact was comfortable with a hot shower, breakfast was adequate (fresh waffles were the best) and the staff were friendly.

Conveniently located - a stone’s throw away from Paddington Station. But the steep stairs are tricky to navigate if you have bulky luggages

En-suite was needed for mobility challenged elder with small service dog. That only came with very small 9’x5’ room spanning stairs above and below. Very narrow (UK twin) bed abutted wall with non-insulated window. Hours for heating carefully controlled but Reception very responsive to turning it back on. Small but great hot shower. Taxi assistance depended on duty receptionist. WiFi acceptable. Higher speeds can be purchased. In room (sink) water marked Non Potable. In room info card out of date. Bottled water available in dispenser on ground floor. Breakfast food was great! If getting Full English buy ticket from Reception first. Complementary breakfast more than adequate. Be prepared for lots of stairs! Morning and day staff were exceptional, friendly, helpful and professional. Harry Potter would have given his ‘room under the stairs’ 5 stars! But he was a magician! Owners should seriously graduate to better insulated windows to control heat costs and improve customer comfort. Maintenance response was very good and much appreciated. Thank him please.
