Great hotel in paddington.

This is a little gem of a hotel in Paddington - clean and comfy rooms in one of the many older style hotels in this area. My room was on the top floor - quite a climb and the room as small it was perfect for as a solo traveller and worth the price. I will stay here again.
Nathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Amazing location. Hotel quite dated and no lift

Amazing location close to both Paddington station and Hyde park. Hotel quite outdated and not overly clean. No lift but to bevexoected for 3*. Atill thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

All was good.
Pierpaolo, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay

Great location. Okay clean beds. Very small room, no drinking water in room, feels worn. No elevator. No A/C and it was very warm at night. Tight staircase to 4th floor similar to a maze. Service is limited, but great that they have luggage storage.

Great location and value for money!

Great location and value for money! Carrying the luggage upstairs was not so nice but I was rewarded with a great view of the trees in Norfolk Square. Nice staff at reception. I could store my luggage after checking out. Single room was small but sufficient. Would stay there again!

Lovely older property. Nice location. A little challenging for people who find stairs difficult.

Great location.
Jarmo, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was extremely easy to get to from Paddington station. It was noisy but not so much that you couldn’t sleep, just close to tube station. The breakfast was worth the extra cost. It was conveniently located.
Kirsten, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Handy location and basic services. Clean and inexpensive.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel was located close to train and subway stations. There were alot of restaurants in the area to chose from. The room was clean and cosy.

Great location
Franco, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location within easy walking distance of Paddington Station (Heatrow Express terminus) was a big sell for me. It's also a nice, virant neighbourhood with a small park across the street. Breakfast buffet included with my room was also good.
Paul, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Cannot recommend

Location is amazing. But the room shakes because of the train, there is no AC, and the bathroom has mold because the vent doesn’t operate. If you’re used to a hostel this is fine.

Great location in a quiet street
Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love staying here so much. Everything looked so vintage. I loved the architect. My only issue was the bed; It was a little too rigid. Loved how convenient we close it was to Paddington Station, and the variety of restaurants around.

Great hotel for family of five near Metro and bus

We appreciated that we could leave our luggage before we checked in at 3 PM. Once we checked in our room was perfect for our family of five with a tiny bathroom as well. It was a little stuffy, but they offered a fan which helped. The breakfast was amazing and delicious. We were extremely close to two bus stops and a major metro Station. We would definitely stay here again. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Kari, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was good. Staff at reception friendly. Room comfortable. Didn't like scaffolders being outside window of room before 8.30 a.m on a bank holiday.
Barbara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is clean and the staff is nice. The rooms could be cozier. The main thing is that it is next to a big train station so my room vibrated sometimes 😂
