great hotel location
Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

Clean room, good location.
It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.

Bad never again!
What a terrible place, not at all like the pictures on the websites, a very nasty moldy room very smelly, we couldn’t even stay there, very bad service.

No blind or curtains
Was provided a room with no blinds or curtain. In summer this means being woken up by sunlight by 5:00, never mind not having privacy.

The server on the front desk was brilliant, I had a last minute late night booking and nothing was too much trouble. The room had a blocked toilet and a lot of peeling paint!

Not good
I now London budget hotels are usually compact and in the smaller side, but this places rooms are ridiculously small. The bathrooms are so small when you sit on the toilet your head goes in the sink. Plus dont stay in this place in summer. It will be a sun trap and ridiculously hot coffin for you.

The room was very narrow for two beds; you could barely walk in it. The shower wasn't very clean, and it was difficult to open the window because it was very old.
Otherwise, we got the bare minimum for the price.

Room simply wasn’t clean. The bedding was fine, but debris and loads of dust under and around the beds. Shower very moldy.
Front desk was very friendly, good location, but £80 still felt like too much. Very very small rooms. No tv remote so no TV.

Not as bad as previous reviews had. It’s a budget hotel. The room was tiny. The corridors and doors were tiny. You get nothing if you don’t ask for it, ie clean towels and tea and sugar. But otherwise it’s cheap and close to town.

Don’t book it unless you have to, you can’t use the toilet without hitting the sink or you have to let the door open , also the shower is tight you can’t even clean your body properly.
The bed wasn’t clean as well as the pillow have stains and hair.
The location was good , it’s close to paddington station

Opportunity for improvement
The pictures of the room and its aesthetic are not true; the hotel only uses part of the building shown. The pictures of the rooms and restrooms are inaccurate. My room (106) had a terrible toilet with no space between the hand basin and the toilet; you would literally have to sit sideways to use it. The toilet was very tiny, a detail not included in the hotel room pictures. There was no room service as claimed. We spent two nights, and our room was never cleaned once not even to dispose of waste or change the bins. Both the room and restroom bins were never emptied. Zero percent value for my money; if I could, I would have checked out.
The hotel needs to do better. You'll be constantly awakened by the noise and vibration of doors closing next to your room. The room also lacks a functional night light; you either sleep in the dark or with the full light onthose are your only options. In all, it was a terrible experience. I paid less for a 3-star hotel in Spain and enjoyed my stay there. Craven should inform prospective customers of the true condition of their property with well-detailed pictures.
