Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station, making transportation easy. The rooms, though small, were clean and functional. The staff provided excellent service, always helpful and friendly. The dining experience was basic but satisfactory. The location ensures a good night's rest in a quiet and safe residential area.
I had a cozy room that had all the standard necessities for a solo traveler. However, being above the kitchen meant I couldn't keep the window open due to the loud extractor fan coming on early. The location was excellent for exploring London, close to Paddington Station and the main high street shops, but getting past the connecting street was a bit of a hassle. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The dining experience, though basic, was in a good location with plenty of nearby eateries, but sadly breakfast was unavailable this time. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, right in the heart of Paddington with easy access to the underground and plenty of nearby restaurants and shops. However, the room I initially received had tatty walls and a very small bathroom, lacking in storage space. On the bright side, I appreciated being moved to a triple room as advertised on the hotel's website.
The hotel is conveniently situated just a 3-minute walk from Paddington Station, making it perfect for catching early trains. However, the rooms are much smaller than expected, with uncomfortable mattresses and cramped spaces, but the hotel offers a cozy and quiet room on the upper floor as an alternative. The service was pleasant and helpful, with polite staff always ready to assist. The location is ideal for using the underground or rail stations, close to pubs, restaurants, and Hyde Park, making it a very convenient spot. The breakfast was not available during my stay, but this did not impact the overall experience. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel offers excellent value for being so close to Paddington Station.
The hotel is situated perfectly for travelers needing quick access to Paddington Station, making it convenient for exploring London. The rooms were a bit small but had nice amenities, although lacking a window made them very hot. The service was exceptionally helpful, especially accommodating our request to have rooms near each other. The dining experience was a letdown with delayed service and limited options, however, the location and friendly staff make this a recommended choice for a London visit.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was convenient and central, close to public transportation and shops, but the room on the main road side was noisy all night. The service was friendly and helpful, with a clean room ideal for my elderly Gran. The dining options were a bit repetitive, but the value for money was decent. Not the most luxurious stay, but it had its ups and downs.
The hotel is perfectly located near Paddington Station, close to numerous attractions in London. The rooms, though small and dated, were clean and quiet, making for a comfortable stay. However, the noise disturbance from above was quite bothersome at times. The service was friendly and helpful, except for some minor instances. Overall, a convenient hotel with a few drawbacks.
The hotel had adequate and clean rooms, though they were very tired and small like broom cupboards. The service was just about satisfactory, and the staff were polite and helpful. The location was very good for being within walking distance of an underground station. The dining experience was average, with limited choices and simplified offerings. The hotel provided basic facilities.
