The Norfolk is really convenient to Paddington Station. The nearness makes travelling around London super easy. The surrounding area is busy but safe. Inside the hotel is clean. Staff were always on site and helpful. I would stay here again.

Fantastic location 5 minutes walk from Paddington. Very clean and well equipped, newly renovated with really helpful friendly staff. Yes bathrooms tiny but spotless and had everything you could need and more. Some noise but that's expected in a period building in a major city. Would not hesitate to book again.

Having to pay £100 (holding fee) is not needed. Only hotel I’ve stayed at that does this. Not a fan of this method. Staff very friendly & would recommend. Great location as well. Fairly comfortable although you can hear what’s going on in the adjacent rooms.

Very small room, however is an ideal location for a very short stay. Staff woke us up at 12am telling off other guests next door. Not well handled. Overall for the price, there are better options available.

Good price compared with other hotels in central London and very close to all the transport links around Paddington station. Lovely reception staff. Room was great, comfy bed and crisp linen. Bathroom very small - everything you need and a good shower but it wouldn't suit a larger person. Door would benefit from more soundproofing - I could hear guests in the rooms opposite talking, but maybe I was unlucky and they were being particularly loud.

Overall an ok place to stay. The room was very clean and nicely decorated, the bed was very comfy. It's in a decent area with good transport links and a shirt walk from Hyde Park. However, the bathroom was very small and hard to navigate. We were put in one of the lower rooms and there was some vibration from the trains. That would have been fine, except something in or above the room was rattling every time a train went under (about every 3-5 minutes). I reported it to the front desk as we were struggling to sleep and I'm not sure they understood what I was trying to say and just told me it's the trains and they stop at midnight. They did stop at midnight and we managed to get some sleep, only to be woken up by the rattling when services resumed around 6:30am. I would overall recommend this as a place to stay, just maybe in one of the rooms on the upper floor.

Room was unbearably hot. Aircon blew warm air. Asked for another room. This was accommodated. I was moved from the 4th floor (No lift) to the ground floor. This room was just as hot with the AC blowing hot even when you select cold. I found a new hotel and was refused my money back

On the plus, the room was immaculately clean, everything looked very new, and the bed was very comfy. I found the man on reception unwelcoming, and I am never impressed when a hotel reception says your room number out loud when you are a woman travelling solo. Need a company policy and training on this. It’s an old property, so no lifts (I was on the 4th floor but thankfully only an overnight bag). It is single glazed windows so a bit noisy, and not great sound proofing between rooms.

I have already tried to send comments to the hotel directly but have had no reply to my email so am having to review publicly which I wouldn’t normally do, I booked a ‘delux double room’ and requested a quiet room, I was given a room that was incredibly basic, had a noisy electric heater on the wall that rattled the light fitting, it shook every time a tube went past, the smell in the tiny bathroom was so bad I could barely use it, check in involved handing a key and telling me a room number - no directions to the room, wifi info or any info on the hotel - it was all very basic, wouldn’t recommend

Die Lage des Hotels war perfekt, ein paar Schritte von Paddington Station. das Zimmer war klein, aber sehr sauber und das Bett sehr bequem. auch das Badezimmer war zwar sehr klein, aber sauber. Die schlechten Bewertungen kann ich absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Das war eine super Unterkunft zu einem guten Preis.
