Location Great
ALFREDO, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff friendly and breakfast v pleasant. En-suite in 404 could do with some TLC. Similarly, fellow guests on 4th floor were so inconsiderate from 22:30 until 1am, I received no sleep during my stay. Hence, a little TLC on doors and notices reminding guests of typical curfews would be beneficial. Sadly, based on how loud corridors were with guests coming and going, I’ll unlikely return due to fear of not sleeping again.

Good service with clean guest room

Staffvare friendly and helpful. Breakfast is also good. Though the guest room is neat and tidy, however it is not spacious. Informed by hotel staff, air-conditioning will be provided upon request.
Wah Shun Edwin, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was well kept, the 5 person room was perfect for our family with three kids, the air conditioning was wonderful, and the breakfast was tasty. The location near Hyde Park is wonderful for walking and exploring. I would definitely stay here again.
Cammy, 1-night trip

Best hotel if you’re going to London for a weekend! Been there several times. Small rooms but nice, clean and a really nice breakfast in the basement😎
Ingemar, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The area was great and the staff too rooms were small but comfy.
Saskia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hmmm. Where to start. The staff was very friendly and should not be blamed for the condition of the hotel. However, we booked a room with a double bed and a single. It had three small twin beds. And really they had no business putting three beds in that room. We had no place to put our bags. We had to step over them the whole time there. There was a lift but it only went to the third floor. The room was on the fourth floor. The ceiling was so low and slanted that our son, who is 5'10" hit his head at least ten times. There was a small open wardrobe but no drawers of any kind. There was also a general odd smell in the entire place as well. For the amount of money we spent, I would expect just a bit more.

4/10 Fair

Ok for 1 night, nothing more!

On arrival I was asked by the foreign receptionist for my passport. I told him I have come from Ipswich so why would I have it on me? He kept asking for it and I kept saying I haven't got it. After a long time he (thankfully) just carried on with checking me in all of ONE night! Breakfast was basic but fine and room was small but ok for one night.

Great hotel near Paddington station

We stayed for a couple of night's and the hotel was excellent. We had a basement twin room, air conditioning. The free breakfast is also really good. The area is really nice close to Paddington Station. Plus Hyde Park is in walking distance.

Value for money

Staff were lovely, breakfast was lovely. Room was small but had everything we needed, maybe the bathroom could do with a refurb. Only issue I had was the noise but it was good value for money and great location

Alan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

VERY small room for 3 people.staff was wonderful. We had an issue with the shower temperature and they fixed it while we were out. It was also very hot in the room, even with window open and ac on. I think there may have been an issue with it but we never addressed it with the staff. Their continental breakfast options could have been better. Waitstaff was always ready to help or get what you needed. They front desk staff was super helpful with sightseeing info, bookings, and transportation, even stored oir luggage on the last day so we could do a little shopping before leaving for the train.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

Would stay here again

Close to Paddington station, Paddington metro and Lancaster gate metro. Nice neighborhoods with good restaurants. The room was tiny, but we only slept there so that was fine. One of the few hotels we looked at that had beds for three people. Comfortable beds. Nice staff, especially at the service desk, very helpful. The breakfast was so-so. The elevator could only fit one person with luggage at a time. I can sleep through lots of noise, but if you can't it's good to know it's noisy outside and you can also hear people in the hallway. Would stay here again.

Lovely breakfast and very good service. Two things: how about shower mats in the showers? Slippery. Also, how about a bar of soap and a wash cloth in the bathroom. The safe was a bit fussy.
Michael, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good staying

Small and reasonable hotel close to Paddington station. The mostly problem is that the Wifi is weak and intermittent, I had to give up attend remote meeting. The location is good, close to the station and Hyde Park, perfect, and the walk before breakfast was wonderful. The breakfast was better than I expected, the taste was good, and the staff's service was very good. Overall it was a good stay.

Lovely location! However, room bathroom was smelly, safety box did not work and there was no view from window. Due to these no more stars.
Jannika Mirella, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel staff were lovely and welcoming and the room was decent however there are mice. We were unable to sleep due to the mice and felt that it had ruined our stay. Due to this there was also a foul odour in our room which made it unpleasant and difficult for us to breathe.
Serena, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The quality of decor furniture fittings and facilities throughout the hotel is excellent.The bathroom and shower were excellent and the beds were very comfy though narrow . Double twin room was very small and my partner had to clamber over my bed to get in and out. Loo paper was very poor quality . wardrobe was filled with a fridge and safe so virtually no hanging space and one small drawer. only one chair in room and no shelf by sink for toiletries. Breakfast menu mainly very good continental choice or ,for hot breakfast ,choice of eggs frankfurters and baked beans . No English breakfast.
