Clean room that was well designed, quiet and in a good central location. I would certainly stay here again.
Only thing to note is that this hotel operates a code system for entry/check in, so there's no front desk. This was straightforward, although the signage to the front door could have been better - we had to ask the pub staff who were friendly enough to help.

Excellent. Check in experience was a little clunky/awkward as the app that you need to download to enter room didn’t work and it was hard to reach anyone, but once in the room fantastic very close to a lot of amenities. Highly recommend paddington rec area and the tavern itself

Nice place to stay
Lovely place to stay. Very easy and convenient using my phone as the key and checking in online. My only criticism was that there was only coffee in the room, no tea and that the shower head was quite blocked and needed wiping.

Great, clean, safe, efficient stay
This was a great find - we were in a bind and needed to find somewhere affordable to stay in the area. I was a little hesitant about the no-front-desk setup, and we weren't able to arrive until after the tavern was closed, but the staff was responsive via email and checked us in remotely.
Rooms were very small, but clean and appeared just as they do on the website.
No elevator, and we had a good amount of luggage so it was a bit tough getting suitcases up to the 2nd floor, but worth the efficiency.
There was conflicting checkout info, one email said checkout at 11 and one said 12, so we had to make sure we were back in our rooms by 11... turns out our digital keys did in fact deactivate at 11, not 12.

Give it a miss
First impressions were good, the room looked clean and comfy. But as i discovered when i tried to turn on the tv it did not work, then i discovered all the power sockets did not function.
Because there is no one to oversee the hotel accommodation on site, the bar staff managed to locate me to another room but because the room was not expected to be occupied, the room had not been fully prepared. i had to go to the original room and take bed sheets and towels and take them to the new room and make up the bed myself.
In the new room, when i had a shower, because it is an open shower and close to the toilet, everything got wet.
Then to cap it off, when i tried to watch tv, it also did not work. When i mentioned to the staff in the bar, they said maintenance would look at it. It never got sorted.
When i went to the bar for a drink and look at the menu, whilst i was standing there, i saw a small furry creature scuttle from under the bar to behind a chiller and can only describe it a a small rat.
I then refused to have any meals there.
I did tell a member of staff what i had just witnessed but he seemed a bit blasé about it.
Overall, would not recommend.

I loved everything about this place but trying to get to your room when the outside of the tavern is packed is a bit difficult.

Bathroom wa sa very small wet room, which flooded the bedroom floor! Lucky there was nothing of mine on the floor that could have been ruined.
Consequence of a tiny wetr9om is that the toilet is completely soaked after using the shower.
The room was extremely noisy, even with powerful earplugs. I think there was either a band on until fairly late, or very loud music.

The Room was perfect! I came to London for my Dads funeral whose birthday is May so his birthstone is emerald and let me say the room was this beautiful green I was blown away. My Dad may he rest in peace shares the same name an a small street near the tavern and that was anlso special I walked it almost every day I was so heart broken by the loss of my dad but I found peace tucked away in this cute hotel next to this quaint pub and I was able to write my tribute in the room looking out the window. The Tavern itself is just a few minutes walk to my Uncles and also transportation was easy to get to. I want to thank housekeeping for always taking care of the room which I was not expecting as often as they did. This was an amazing experience and you made my 32 year return to London special!.

L’hôtel était très propre, agréable, bien placé, la Taverne en dessous de l’hôtel est très pratique pour s’y poser ou y manger après une longue journée de marche dans Londres ! ☺️
