AMARJEET, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Manuel, 2-night trip

Very good location, breakfa
Stefan, 3-night trip

Close to train line. Convinient.
Premjit, 2-night trip

Very good location. The AC was not really
Sebastian, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I stayed in a single room with an attached bathroom and it was a great stay for a solo female traveler! It is right next to Paddington Station, which made transportation super easy. The only con was having to walk up several flights of stairs to my room, but that is to be expected for an older property!
Megan, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

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

8/10 Good

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

10/10 Excellent

Walking distance from Paddington station - tons of food options around. Every different from North American hotels - no elevators or AC - rooms and washroom are small. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I suggest they get better fans. Breakfast was good - includes eggs beans waffles toast cold cut meat cereal and drinks.
Karen, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location. Who cares about the hotel. Tiny stairs. Tiny room. Very hot, during the summer. But who cares about that, central location easy to walk or take public transportation.
TAVIS, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was clean but it’s outdated. Located 5 min walk from train station which was good.
Ana Carolina Araujo de, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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

6/10 Okay

Our room was in basement. Bathroom was tiny. Occassional rumbling of underground felt and heard. Close to Paddington so convenient but would not stay there again.
Kevin, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Property was great and just as described online. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the reception staff was quite rude. Thankfully after checking in, no additional contact with them was needed.
Teri, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Provided a fan and a fridge which was great, given the heatwave temperatures. Top floor room and minimal noise from other rooms. Easy (online) checkin. Shame the area is messy and lacking a good clean up.
Chris, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice hotel
Marie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

it was a good location, room was ok/clean but very badly designed, it could have been much better with a different room configuration.
Jane, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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 Excellent

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 Okay

The hotel looked nothing like the picture. There was scaffolding in the front of the building due to the construction. There was garbage in front of the hotel daily. The water in the room was not potable.

Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Right outside Paddington so easy to get to the train but walkable as well. LOTS of stairs in small spaces. Everything was clean and put together nicely.
