Staff were great, but the building could do with a little TLC. It's fine for a night or two of your on a budget I guess.
The accommodation was a disaster.
It was right next to a road, and my window couldn’t be closed completely.
It was noisy and dirty.
There was also a lot of mold on the bathroom ceiling.
I do not recommend staying here.

Location superb close to Hyde Park. Lancaster Gate and Paddington. Hotel felt faded but the bed was clean and the bathroom was serviceable. Great price for the central London location - just don’t expect too much from the hotel … it’s a place to sleep and not much else
One of the dirtiest, not well looked after places ever stayed. Many things were broken and rooms in general been dirty including beddings. Person workingon reception was great and well helpful which was massive positive, but hotel in general need a lot improved and better cleaning team, also a lot of fixing.
For a budget this hotel has an amazing location, very short walk from Paddington and Lancaster Gate tube station.
Some lovely restaurants in the area and coffee shops. 4 minutes walk from Hyde Park.
The room mattress is thin to the point of you think you can feel the bed springs, but not so bad you can’t sleep. The bathroom is best described as compact and Bijou, let’s say totally unsuitable for the average size of our American cousins.
But yes I’d stay again as the location is perfect and the price reasonable

Quite basic - but exactly as expected. Very low cost. Friendly staff. Great location. Would recommend for a short stay (1 - 3 nights)
Room was dirty, hair in shower, broken toilet roll holder.
Blinds were not great so very light from 5am
Room is very hot
Room is very small but this is ok
£5 per hour for early check in, we just wanted to leave our bags there and would have done it behind reception if we were allowed but had to pay £10 to do this
10am check out is early
Do not stay here. Worst place I've ever slept. The rooms are not as advertised, the pictures are all AI or stolen. Room was full of mould, damp, tap falling off, shower didn't drain, no amenities, a pubic hair on the bed, could touch either side of the room with outstretched arms and the window was held open with a bit of wood. Only positive was the location to Hyde park. But avoid at all costs!!
