The property was conveniently located near Paddington Station and therefore convenient to London sites. Rooms were small, but comfortable.

Nice hotel, close to local pubs and food though the area is rather noisy and without air-conditioning the window needed to be open, leading to a lot of noise.

The room had no air conditioning- it was 31 degrees, made sleeping very difficult. Room was nice and staff were lovely. Just don’t book during a heat wave!

Great hotel!
Genuinely a brilliant hotel. Super friendly at check in, was provided with an ironing board ect and the place even had a small elevator. Which a fair amount of hotels in this area don't. Room was great, little balcony out the front too. Air conditioning and overall great. Breakfast was also decent downstairs with a good selections of bits and bobs, including some hot food too. Close to paddington and Hyde Park. Would absolutely stay again!

Even though it was an older building, it was clean. Breakfast was good each morning and our rooms were freshly made each evening. It’s in a really good area and close to the tube, bus stop and parks.

Lovely stay at this hotel. Staff were great and accommodating. Awesome location close to all amenities and tube as well public transport. Only fault I couldn’t turn off the bathroom heating and asked for it to be addressed as London was warm so no need to have hearing on.

Nice location. We booked four beds in a room but when we arrived it was not available. We changed rooms the next day. Good hot coffee. Had to request toilet paper as it was nit replaced when they cleaned the room. Staff lady in am was friendly but not the others in evening.

Nice location, 10 min walk from Paddington giving easy access to the underground. Plenty of places to eat and shop are available around. Room was confortable and clean, with a portable AC to provide fresh air. Some more furniture to be able to unpack the bags would have been nice. There was only the drawers of the night stands.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
The only negative aspect would be about the Breakfast. Choice and quality were basic, and the room is small, if you come after 08:30, you will have to wait for a table to be available.
