Another one-night stay here and even though I was up on the fourth floor, it was the best room I have had yet, being clean and comfortable, with a good bathroom and shower.

Nice staff and hotell was clean and fresh. Sound traveled a bit through the door to the room but nothing overwhelming. I didn't try the breakfast but I saw that it was even possible to order it up as roomservice. Having a fridge in the room was amazing. All in all a nice place to stay. It might not be the highest in comfort but well worth it's price and location.

The breakfast was pretty good. It was buffet style. The rooms are small (which is pretty common in London, perhaps the whole UK). The rooms were a bit dated but they're giving it a fresh coat of paint (they were painting outside our room on checkout day). The super plus is that it was very close to Paddington Station

Ok experience. Big room - only rooms left were for families but reduced rate. You can hear and feel the trains except in the dead of night. Great location relative to paddington.

Highly Recommend

We absolutely loved our stay at The Shakespear Hotel in Paddington. Staff super friendly & efficient. Location second to none - walking distance to Paddington station, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets & an easy stroll to Hyde Park, Buckingham palace & Picadilly circus. Highly recommend. Will be staying there when we return to London in 2026.

Small but comfortable room in a convenient location. Just steps from Paddington Station and a lot of places to eat, this was a good place with a comfortable bed for me to explore London.

Sep 30, 2025

The location is terrific. Within steps of hop-on hop-off Bus services. Restaurants at the end of the block in both directions. Subway is a block and a half walk. The room is about half the size it need be. London fire laws make it inconvenient to move your luggage from place to place,as there are a number of doors that have to be negotiated with luggage.

David, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Oct 15, 2025

We are nearly 70 years old. This hotel has no elevator and the staircase is narrow. We arrived at the hotel at 8am o'clock in the morning, but the hotel staff gave us the fifth floor, the highest floor, and asked us to carry three large suitcases up to the fifth floor by ourselves. It was so disappointing! We will never book a similar hotel again!
