"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect.

"Room was basic but clean. Location great for St Pancras station. Ticked the boxes for a short stay"

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We booked Bluedaws Hotel for our trip to London for two nights between 20th and 22nd September. We booked a family room for a group of 5.We went early on Sunday to drop our luggage where Nimko was helpful. We returned late Sunday evening whereby we were welcomed with a warm sincere smile of a young gentleman by the name of Prem who was ever so delighted to offer his assistance and explained everything to us. Prem was extremely helpful in bringing us a kettle, teabags, milk and cups to our room as well as extra towels.The following morning we went down for breakfast where we were welcomed by lovely members of staff who had the breakfast tables all laid out. We were offered tea, coffee, toast, eggs, bacon as well as a selection of cereals. The tables had a selection of jams available.At Bluedaws Hotel the breakfast which is inclusive is truly a 5 star experience.We were offered tea and coffee to our rooms after breakfast also, which was extremely generous.The following evening Prem greeted us on our return and was all too happy to assist us with whatever we needed on our room.Overall our experience at Bluedaws Hotel was exceptional. The location is fantastic as it is about 3 to 4 minutes away from Paddington station and Hyde Park.The hotel is very clean. I would highly recommend this hotel as the ideal and best option in terms of ticking all the boxes which include amazing price, delicious breakfast to set your day, central location, great service, good hygiene and cleanliness."
