Nothing to like about. Just cheap. Premier Inn was right beside Paddington for almost same price.

The receptionist was really nice but the rooms are very small and mouldy. The beds are weak and there were stains on the walls and ceilings.
Jessy, 1-night trip

Hotel was a dive, damp everywhere, no power sockets near the bed, bed was like sleeping on neat springs, the shower leaked everywhere and doesn’t drain it turned into a bath

Everything about that hotel is disgusting
Christina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Short walk from the underground and lots of dining options. Hotel is good enough for london considering the price.
Shaid, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing.

Room grubby stains on walls pillows stained lift dirty damp smell in room. Unable to open blind or window. Bed uncomfortable left with back pain. Shower dirty foul smelling unable to use. Staff indifferent. On the plus side location good lots of places to eat lots of pubs and shops. Walking distance to popular attractions if you are up for walking mile or two or Paddington st half a mile.
Sylvia, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lots Of Problems , I asked about Leaving suitcases they said I had To Book which was going to Cost £25, This is Ridiculous Most Hotels will look after Luggage with No Extra Charge , The Room itself was shocking it was Supposed to be Delux -It was Nothing More than a Dingy Bedsit , No Tea making Facilities , No Remote Control for TV , bathroom was So Small You Couldnt use the Toilet without Hitting the Sink , There was a Heater Pump outside the Bedroom Window Making Sleep Imposssible , It Felt Like some of the Floor Boards were broken as they moved when walked on , This Hotel Needs Inspecting

6/10 Good

Good location but toilet and washbasin to improve

A very small room but centrally located in Paddington which is a very big advantage and a few minutes walk from the Underground station at Paddington and also Direct connection to the London Heathrow. The toilet as well as wash basin are made where it’s both very difficult to use.

Great experience. Great area. Great service

Nice people. Great Area. Accomodations were lovely. Communicative staff and very helpful and accomodating. This place let us check in speedily, check on us throughout the stay and the facility was nice enough.
Cassandra, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

patrick, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not very good. Booked a deluxe double and sorry to say it was disgusting. Nothing deluxe about it. Dirty, tired and tiny. No tea coffee facilities. Moved to another room and no hot water. Moved again which was a lot better but the hotel is not clean or hygienic. For the price you pay it’s just not worth it. I come a lot on business here but will try and avoid this hotel

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Dirty, gross and shocked that this is even offered on Expedia!
Roy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

p

the overall experience was poor the room definitely needs a re paint as it is runned down. The bed is uncomfortable the walls are grubby and the bathroom was ridiculously tiny you didn’t even have space to sit on the toilet as the sink was practically on top of you- aswell no hot water from the shower just pure coldness! It was very noisy at night time too, the service wasn’t very good either we had to wait a couple hours for some extra pillows. if your looking for a cheap place to stay then stay here lol!
sophia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’ll start with the positive. The two young guys on reception were very polite, respectful and helpful. That is unfortunately where the positives end. It’s incredibly shabby & run down. The single room was like a prison cell. Tiny, drab and no light through a tiny window high up a wall facing a vestibule not outside. Dirty bathroom, which the receptionist did organise another clean. Towels & hairdresser on request. Lights so bright it was like being in a solarium. Scuffs all over the walls, springy bed, dank furniture. Paper thin walls so you can hear every thump, cough, bang, door etc. excruciating. Apart from the lovely staff. Avoid. Oh, the area is great though and right next to the station!

Great staff, downhill after check in… sorry 😕

I hate being negative about places but I was asked to leave a review and I’m not going to BS. The staff member I met was very nice and helpful I have nothing bad to say about him. The room cost me £50 so I wasn’t expecting the Plaza standard!
paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean, shared areas were not. Did I get bitten by bed bugs???
Jonathan, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was truly awful. The springs on my bed were completely broken, the hot water didn’t work in the shower, i wasn’t provided a towel and the room had stains on the carpet and door that looked like blood. The staff were extremely unhelpful and didn’t seem to care. Don’t stay here.
