Booked the hotel for a short overnight stay, due to its proximity to Paddington Station (15 minute walk) to catch the Heathrow Express. The room was on the lower level, so it had no windows or any natural light. The room was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel reception is in a cafe, so can get a little cramped when checking in and out and if you are leaving your bags in storage, I'd recommend waiting until the staff have put them away downstairs. The hotel is located on Edgeware Road, where it is predominantly middle eastern shops and restaurants. If the middle east experience is not for you, a 20-30 minute walk will get you to Oxford Street, Marble Arch and Hyde Park. I'd recommend this hotel if you were after a reasonably priced short stay.
