Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were spacious and comfortable for three adults, but the line for tables at the restaurant was a constant issue. On the bright side, having a toilet and shower available outside the rooms was a unique and convenient feature.
The hotel is in a superb location, very close to Paddington station with lots of dining options nearby. The room, although a bit messy at the entrance, was clean, well-equipped, and provided great value for money. The service was welcoming and helpful, making my stay pleasant.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the excellent location near Paddington station was incredibly convenient and made me feel safe as a solo traveler. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with cold scrambled eggs and not-so-great coffee. The rooms were small and cramped, making it difficult for me to fully enjoy the stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms didn't match the Booking website photos, and my room above the dining room and reception was quite noisy early in the morning. However, the room was clean and suitable for an overnight stay, despite running cold on the hottest setting.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fabulous, just a stone's throw away from Paddington station and surrounded by plenty of dining options. The rooms, however, left much to be desired with constant gurgling sounds from the pipes, making it challenging to get a good night's sleep. The service was top-notch, very welcoming and accommodating, especially at breakfast. The dining experience was mediocre, and the range of options was quite limited. Overall, a mixed bag of experiences during my stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, overall. The rooms, despite being small, were fully equipped and tidy, ensuring a clean and functional space. The location was perfect, just around the corner from Paddington station, providing easy access to transportation and dining options. The dining experience, although a little disappointing with cold toast, offered a good breakfast selection. However, the hotel could benefit from some updates for a more modern feel.
The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station and within walking distance of popular places, making it easy to access different sights. The rooms, although smaller than expected and with some noise from passing trains, are at a reasonable price. The dining options are sufficient but the breakfast area can get crowded. The staff is friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience.
The hotel offers clean and ideal rooms for an overnight stay, but the outdated facilities and poor breakfast choice are drawbacks. The staff is helpful, although communication may be a challenge at times. The location is a great hub near Paddington Station, but the property itself needs an upgrade.
The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington station and Hyde Park, with plenty of restaurants around. The rooms are outdated and tired, as expected for the price. While the service is friendly and helpful, noise from common areas can be disruptive early in the morning. The dining options are basic with limited choices, and there are additional charges for certain items.
