The property was clean. Just a couple of issues, there was no elevator and we had to carry our heavy luggage up 5 flights of stairs. Also the pillows were pretty flat.

I stayed in a single room with an attached bathroom and it was a great stay for a solo female traveler! It is right next to Paddington Station, which made transportation super easy. The only con was having to walk up several flights of stairs to my room, but that is to be expected for an older property!

It’s was perfect for the price. Super convenient to Paddington station and met our needs. The room had a fridge and an en-suite bathroom. The morning breakfast was nice as well. While it didn’t have the same amenities as a more upscale resort, it was eminently serviceable for the price with an unbearable central location.

Walking distance from Paddington station - tons of food options around. Every different from North American hotels - no elevators or AC - rooms and washroom are small. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I suggest they get better fans. Breakfast was good - includes eggs beans waffles toast cold cut meat cereal and drinks.

For access to public transport and restaurants this location was ideal. As there was no elevator in old building you have to navigate steep stairs to get to your room. Not easy with luggage. Room was small but well maintained.

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.
