Location superb close to Hyde Park. Lancaster Gate and Paddington. Hotel felt faded but the bed was clean and the bathroom was serviceable. Great price for the central London location - just don’t expect too much from the hotel … it’s a place to sleep and not much else

5 minute walk from Paddington. Pretty bad, like maybe they run some illegal business and the hotel is a front. Worst bed I've ever slept on. But it had a good shower in the room and many London hotels have only shared bathrooms. I saved 40 dollars and I'm still doubting that that was worth it. But the shower was nice.

Cheap and quiet hotel. Room could do with a refresh, and tv didn’t work. Mattress could also do with being replaced. For a one night stay it was ok.

If I were 20 years old again and traveling with friends, this hotel would have been fine. The rooms were extremely small and I couldn't even turn around in the shower. Young people wouldn't mind; I did.

The hotel has cctv and a small lift. The communal carpet on my floor was dirty. My double bedroom room was small and very basic, with an extremely cramped toilet and shower area. The shower was so compact it was nearly impossible to step into. The room had a window which I could open or close. It also had a wardrobe, side table and a television which I did not use . There were no tea making facilities. The bedding was clean, and I generally slept well due to minimal traffic noise. However, despite being advertised, the hotel does not have air conditioning and rooms are not soundproofed. I complained to my 3rd party booking provider about the false advertising on their website and received a refund. Additionally, upon check out, if you wish your luggage to be stored, the hotel will charge. The hotel reception staff are both friendly and professional.m My room was as basic as you can get. Given this information, it’s entirely up to you if you wish to stay, taking account of the price charged per night and the location. In short, you get what you pay for.

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

Clean room, good location.

It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.
