Queensway Hotel

The Queensway Hotel was a good value. I've stayed in many different hotels in London and this hotel meets and sometimes beats most London hotels in my past. Proximity to Paddington Station was key for this trip and The Queensway Hotel was perfect. Lancaster Gate tube station is very close as well, made for easy travel on a Sunday when Central line was shut down. The man that checked me in was quick and to the point, not all that friendly or informative- but no biggie for me, I just wanted to get into my room and get back out. My room was small, but managable and perfect for a single. Bedding could be updated, but sheets were clean and bed was comfortable. The bathroom was tiny, but everything worked and it was clean so could have been worse. Continental breakfast was fine- nothing spectacular, but covered all continental breakfast basics. If I need to stay close to Paddington Station again I will happily stay here again.

London hotels are generally very expensive, so for the price we weren't expecting much, and I think we got about what we expected. Our room was in the basement, so it was pretty dark and did not seem very clean. The bathroom was tiny, as was the room. There was a safe in the room, and continental breakfast was fine (other than very controlling hostess commanding everyone where to sit).
