Even by the already modest standards of London hotels, the Mitre Hotel is a distinctly underwhelming experience. Listed as a 3-star hotel on Hotels.com but displaying only 2 stars at the entrance, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
Yes, it’s conveniently located near Paddington. But beyond that, you’ll find an old, tired, and clearly unrenovated building. Not every hotel needs to offer luxury, but when you’re charging this much per night, guests are right to expect a minimum standard of quality. On that front, the Mitre Hotel falls well short.
Some reviews mention a “good breakfast.” I genuinely can’t comprehend that claim. It makes me question what people consider acceptable. I truly pity those for whom staying here is seen as an uplifting or memorable experience.
If you’re considering booking, weigh the price against what’s actually on offer—because the current high rating is deeply misleading.
