Great little hotel near Paddington station! Affordable room for a family of five. Room is cozy and clean. Nice place to rest, but not meant to really spend lots of down time in. No frills room - no fridge or recliners. 5 minute walk to Paddington station. Lots of eating options nearby. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Continental breakfast hits the spot, servers bring toast to your table or hot porridge along with small buffet of other selections, including raisin rolls, croissants, yogurt, cereal, dried fruits, sliced cheese, cold ham and salami. Drinks include apple and orange juice, coffee and hot water for tea. Would stay again if going with family to London.

Location is great. Breakfast was excellent. Personnel was polite. But white sheets were noticeably stained , there was a foot print in one. The room was too small for 3 beds (one queen/ two twins) making it really difficult to move around the room.

Quad room was far too small for 4. Room was in the attic which was stifling hot even with windows wide open. Rats were running around outside the property and we had zero interaction with the staff other than checking in. This is the 5th hotel I’ve stayed in in London and the only one I would not recommend.

The hotel had a great location. Beds were a little springy but fine for one night. It has an elevator but no A/C which would be normally fine, but it was hot one day.

This place was in a great location, just a little small for our family. The people at breakfast in the morning were always smiling and helpful. I just noticed the bed had a foul odor; they may need to replace it soon. But other than that, it was a good choice for us.

The hotel, staff, and room was lovely could not fault it. I cannot say about the breakfast i had paid for, becsuse we didn't have sny, as i had to be in hospital for 7.30am and didn't come out until the day we checked out. I should not of brought breakfast was a bit silly of me. But the hotel is definitely worth a visit.

I wouldn’t recommend this property for a family as the rooms are very very tiny and there is no space to put suitcases. There is also no fridge in the room which makes it difficult when you are travelling with medications that require it. Overall the staff were nice except for one woman who was very rude when I asked for help with retrieving medications I had stored in the staff fridge. Overall for the money I would go elsewhere if travelling with a family

El hotel está bien ubicado en la zona de Paddinton, a pocas cuadras de estación de metro y buses. También pasan cerca los buses turísticos. La limpieza es su mayor atributo. Las habitaciones están bien pero es muy complicado llegar a ellas, bajando escaleras y teniendo que pasar por varias puertas y en nuestro caso teniendo que atravesar el desayunador. En el caso nuestro la habitación 54 se encontraba debajo de la recepción y se escuchaban ruidos en el techo todo el tiempo ( tratar de evitarla). Hay desayuno muy completo pagando un adicional. La habitación posee caja de seguridad. Por el precio abonado hubiera esperado un frigobar. En síntesis, el hotel está bien, pero con algunos detalles seria óptimo.
