2/10 Poor

They gave me a bag of food as breakfast, but its quality was very low and it shouldn't be called breakfast. I got really disappointed and this hotel is overpriced. The location is very good.
Yasuyuki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at Aaraya Hotel. It was just a short walk from Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Rooms were cute and clean. They were in the middle of renovating the rooms so they had to switch us out of our room that fit our family of 5 part way through our stay, but they gave us two rooms beside each other for no extra cost. They have No eating area at the hotel so you have to plan to eat out. One gem that we found just a couple blocks away was The Stable Hand. Excellent food and service.
Heather, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Budget hotel that’s good enough if for a night/2.

Very average hotel in the Paddington area, but most of them are to be fair. If you’re looking for a decent enough budget place then this place is fine. No elevator, no AC, no iron-ironing board. But the room was quiet enough.

There is no elevator. We had to carry our heavy luggage up 4 flights of stairs. The rooms are extremely small and the beds are impossible to sleep on.

The air conditioning didn’t work as it should, everything was very good but not having a comfortable temperature overshadows all the good
Gary, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property badly needs some maintenance done. When I told the receptionist this, the answer was that it was a 100 year old property. However this does not excuse badly marked ceiling, handles falling off cupboards, no safe and general disrepair. It certaìnly did not match the picture of their "best" room probably taken 15 years ago.
Allan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location of this property was quite good. There was no elevator and we had to haul our luggage up three or four flights of stairs, to a very very crowded room with a small bathroom. You could only open the shower door partway before it hit the sink. breakfast was served in a brown takeaway bag. The croissant was stale and the rest of the breakfast was quite uninspirational. They claimed that the breakfast room was under renovation, but when we went downstairs to collect our baggage that next evening the breakfast room was clearly not under renovation. This was the most money we spent on any hotel on our three week adventure, and it was a great disappointment.

2/10 Poor

We had a horrible stay at Aaraya Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel to check in there was no receptionist. We had to wait for 15 minutes for someone to show up. It was 9:30pm and my kids were exhausted from traveling. Then the room that they gave us was in the basement and very dark and stuffy. When we tried to open the window we saw that there was 10 old mattresses stacked in front of the window along with several empty cans of paint. It was so trashy! When I walked into the bathroom I saw that the cleaner had forgotten to pick up a large ball of dirty toilet paper on the floor in the corner. So so gross. Definitely disappointed with this hotel. Do not stay here!

Bedbugs Inn

Confirmed Bedbugs in the hotel. After confronting the hotel, they offer discount on coming visit. Very inappropriate! If one get food poisoned from a restaurant you dont go back there, even if you get the food for free. Or if a dog with rabies have bitten you in your shoe, you dont offer your childrens fingers to the dog. A word of warning for anyone . Do not step inside the doors of this building. Dont even visit close to the building or anyone that has been close to it. The management stuff of this hotel is so far from a descent British approach of service. Such people make the whole experience with visiting London or UK a poor one.

4/10 Fair

Wirklich erschreckende Ankunft im Zimmer. Hatte nicht mit viel gerechnet (s. andere Bewertungen), aber es war echt nur schäbig für den Preis. Ich zähle nicht alles auf, das schlecht war, sondern das Positive: Hervorragende Lage, Betten bequem und sauber bezogen, immer frische Handtücher. Der Test an Sauberkeit(sgefühl) ließ zu Wünschen übrig. Haben uns nicht getraut, ohne Schlappen auch nur einen cm drinnen zu gehen. Dusche mit Wasserdruck in Ordnung. Exterieur des Hauses schick. Nur ein klein wenig TLC, und das Hotel könnte den Preis wert sein. Leider Prio auf Einmalkommende. Keine Frühstücksoption, auch nicht in Tüten. Zu viele Schäden, schmuddelig. Wirklich nur zum Schlafen genutzt. Leider nie wieder! (Anmerkung: Bin kein Snob, nutze auch gern Hostels, aber selbst die sind besser. Es geht um Preis-Leistung, ja, auch in London. Rip-off.)
Andrea, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

My chief complaint is that the website needs to be updated. We booked this hotel specifically because it offered breakfast, as shown in the website photo gallery. They do not serve breakfast! The website also shows a different hotel name and decor. Please update. This is extremely misleading. Otherwise, it was a pleasant, affordable place to stay. Quiet street. Close to bars, restaurants and all transportation. Staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean.

One night in Paddington

Room small no table/chair and no lift in hotel but this is typical of small hotels in Sussex Gardens and more than adequate for a one or two night stay. Good value for money. Comfortable bed. The hotel will allow you to store luggage after check out for the rest of the day which is really helpful for a further days activity before leaving London. Lots of pubs bars and restaurants nearby and very handy for transport links.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor experience

Horrible experience Arrived for check in, the door was looked. There was a sign with a phone number to call. Over 30 minutes of non answering calls. Finally someone checked me in. The room was so hot the heater was looked you can lower it down they left the window open but since it’s in lower ground I felt that the room is full with mice.

Hotell i bra område nära Paddington station

Hotellet ligger bredvid massa andra hotell men är lätt att hitta och lätt att ta sig från Paddington station. Vi hade ett trebäddsrum och det var ganska stort för att vara London. Badrummet saknade krokar vilket var lite synd för handdukar. Inget ljus vid spegeln vid handfatet utan endast taklampan. Ingen annan spegel heller så bra att ta med sminkspegel om det behövs. Wi-fi funkade bra. Vi hade rummet precis bredvid receptionen så det kan ha varit anledning till bra wi-fi kanske. Om man är lättstörd och vill sova tidigt så är det rummet inte bra då det är en del störande ljud från receptionen till sent. Mycket ljud från gatan så öronproppar är bra. Vänlig personal. Skulle bo här igen. Nära till många kommunikationer så man kan ta sig vart man vill på enkelt sätt.
Anders, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

If you want a place to sleep that's clean and a good value, this is a good choice. Two blocks from Paddington and two blocks fron Lancaster Gate Central Line stop, on a nice street. A no-frills place with no lobby or any other amenities, but very comfortable beds.

Velmaryz, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The first impression was that the rooms smelt of damp plaster. It was like a building site - the place looked like it was being done up, with guests still on site. Our room was in the basement and very small. Looking out the window all you could see was builders debris and the worst thing was the noise from the room above, you could hear everything and I mean everything! even though the other guests were not that noisy. They did however get up at 6.00am and once they were awake we were awake! The hotel was also advertised as supplying breakfast - but we were told they stopped doing it. Also the fire door at the top of the stairs labelled 'Keep Closed' was held open at all times. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
