Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was a bit on the small side for 3 adults, but was manageable for the 2 nights we stayed. Note that there is NO lift, so suitcases need to be carried up multiple flights of stairs. Also, you can hear and feel the underground, but it's not too loud or disruptive. Really good walkable location to Paddington Station, tube station, public bus stops and Hop-On, Hop-Off bus stops.

The location is perfect - inbetween Regent's and Hyde Park and a few minutes away from Paddington Basin and station. The hotel is in need of renovation - we were on the 4th floor with steep stairs - breathless when we reached the room!! The room was small but clean and quiet.

Great location, few minutes walk from Paddington station and underground. Loads of places to eat nearby. Fridge in the room was great for food and drink. I was in a single room with a good hairdryer, 7 plug sockets, 2 USBs, decent sized TV. Nighttime lighting in the bathroom. Very comfy bed. Could hear the trains but didn't keep me awake. Continental breakfast with some hot items was a bonus. Staff friendly. Yes it was a bit tired in the communal areas but rooms were very clean and great value. I would stay again
