8/10 Very good

Beans cold on breakfast. But overall a good stay. I would stay again 👍
Neil, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Isabelle, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location close to Paddington tube station.
AMARJEET, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really liked the place to stay in London.
Yajur Singh, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Nice hotel
Marie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel in paddington.

This is a little gem of a hotel in Paddington - clean and comfy rooms in one of the many older style hotels in this area. My room was on the top floor - quite a climb and the room as small it was perfect for as a solo traveller and worth the price. I will stay here again.
Nathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was close to transportation. Rooms were clean. The overall hotel was a charming renovated row house. However, the bathroom was very small and the tap water was not potable which made it difficult to use.
Keith, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location
Franco, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s was perfect for the price. Super convenient to Paddington station and met our needs. The room had a fridge and an en-suite bathroom. The morning breakfast was nice as well. While it didn’t have the same amenities as a more upscale resort, it was eminently serviceable for the price with an unbearable central location.
Laura, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

For access to public transport and restaurants this location was ideal. As there was no elevator in old building you have to navigate steep stairs to get to your room. Not easy with luggage. Room was small but well maintained.
Shane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely older property. Nice location. A little challenging for people who find stairs difficult.
Gerald, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Typical Paddington-area hotel. Perfectly fine for one night at the end of a UK holiday before you take the Heathrow Express to LHR. But not for longer than one night. Tiny, hot rooms, noisy if you have a room that faces Norfolk Square. Perfunctory breakfast.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a find! Comfortable room. Good AC. Small mini fridge keeps things cool plus many provided items. Bed is clean and perfect for sleeping. The room itself is beautiful with exposed ceilings and tasteful decor. I have zero complaints.
Samantha, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Typisk standard for this price in central part of London. Not bad, not good. Good area and close to Paddington Station.
Tommie, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cannot recommend

Location is amazing. But the room shakes because of the train, there is no AC, and the bathroom has mold because the vent doesn’t operate. If you’re used to a hostel this is fine.
3-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a decent budget friendly hotel, breakfast has good selections. Since AC is not standard in Europe, it would be better if hotel can provide a bigger electric fan for a 4 guests room. The electric fan that was provided to us was a small fan that is meant for only one person, and with the warm weather, that small fan won’t be sufficient to cool 4 people.
Elmerina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is ok for basic needs. It is a bit of a maze with so many stairs. I also noticed that there were rooms with no private bathrooms. It could do with a refurbishment, new carpets , etc . The positive point is its location and the friendly staff at the breakfast room
MABEL, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property in a great location to jump on the tube which made it very convenient. Room was pretty small for a group of three. You could hear the tube but it didn’t affect our sleep at all. Would recommend this property.
Pamela, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs need bugs bed bugs!!!!!! I left with a rash and several bites all over my body.
Michael, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little tatty but perfectly adequate for a weekend break. A bit of noise in the ground floor room but I still slept well on the comfortable bed
Marie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient for transport. Very clean. Friendly staff
Rosemary, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is super! It's on a quiet street, yet only 3 mins walk to Paddington Train Station and to many great restaurants and fast food. It's close to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. The building looks quite decent and nice from the outside, but the property inside is rather old and room is extremely small. There's no air conditioning! Air circulation is not good.
Yi, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bedbugs.
Charlotte, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to transport & walkable to famous attractions. Room was small, I requested a room on ground level which I was given. Just had to get used to rumbling of trains underground.
