8/10 Very good

Hotel ideally located for sightseeing in London.
Jane, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, very nice and helpful staff
Emmanuelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast choice was adequate. It was kept topped up, and although busy, provided what was needed. A larger dining area would be better, but they are limited with space. Room and bed were comfortable, but noise from underground trains passing so close underneath was distracting. A good location and hotel for a couple of nights on a budget.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is well organized, with rooms cleaned daily and towels changed regularly. What I missed was an elevator, as I had a lot of luggage and a child, and we stayed on the top floor — carrying everything upstairs was a bit difficult. The staff is very kind, and the hotel has a great location, very close to the station, restaurants, cafés, and markets. Although the building is older, it is still comfortable and located in a quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again.
Marina Abreu, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location but does have noise and vibration from the underground. We had no hot water on arrival but this was resolved by morning. Breakfast is a good selection but needs to be kept warm as the toast amd eggs were cold. Room was clean and staff are helpful amd friendly.
Graham, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was great, around the corner from paddington station, great cafes, restaurants nearby, the staff at the hotel was great, and the breakfast was good too.
David, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was a good stay.
Nicholas, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, convenient to host 5 people in one room. Beds we're ok and clean. Breakfast was pretty good considering. Less good: shower was feeble and cold (could just be the time we tried to use it?) and the room was shabby - heavy wear on the bedframes and flooring. Pretty good value overall and we'd use it again, which says everything really.
Daniel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay

We stayed for 3 days. Excellent service! Very friendly staff. Super convenient to many places we wanted to see. Thankfully, we were able to walk because there was a stroke going on for the trains and tube which caused grid lock. Definitely would stay there again
William, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Very nice staff and lovely breakfast but the room, although comfortable, would benefit from some doing up
Emmanuelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just that there is no lift but it is a very good place to stay.
Wasif, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fun in London

This was at the end of a 17 day trip and was great way to finish. A fun and unique hotel very close to Paddington Station.
John E, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful. Useful for one night but otherwise no. Tiny tiny tiny. Toilet broke. No heating in the bathroom. Bathroom tiny and wet from shower until they manually dry it. Window couldn't open by default. It felt like sleeping in the shower. Don't do it to yourself.
Therese, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

My stay was very good. However, there is no lift which makes me wonder how would an elderly and disable person will go to their rooms.
Wasif, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a comfortable stay and will likely stay there again. Very convenient location.
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Near the hub station, but quiet and nice

My single room had everything I needed, e.g. many electric outlets, kettle, coffee, hot shower, fan, and nice street view from the window. Less than five minutes from Paddington Station, which was very convenient. It was not a problem for me, but the staircase with no lift may affect those who with large suitcases.
Arno, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good location, close to most tourist attractions! Breakfast was ample. Staff were friendly.
Sreeparna, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is really good, it close to the train station, restaurant and shopping center. The bed is noise when roll over. Staff is nice.
Wai Bing, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel for the price. Great location next to Paddington station, but because of that, you can hear the trains at night and in the morning.

Marilyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable, affordable hotel near Paddington Station. Small room but worked well for a couple of nights to easily get around London.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just had a one night stopover between train journeys. It's clean, comfortable and only a couple of minutes from the station. Would definitely use it again.
