I was surprised to find a reasonably priced hotel in London and was dubious about what it would be like. But the reviews were pretty good so I decided to give it a go. The entrance was inviting and comfortable. The lady at the desk was absolutely lovely. Check in was easy. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean and modern. The bed was comfortable. I had plenty of space. The location was convenient and surprisingly quiet (I was on the second floor). Don't have anything bad to say about the place and will definitely use it again.

I stayed here for one night as London was a stopover between locations. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was fine, and the check in staff was courteous and helpful. If that’s all you’re looking for in a hotel that’s a close walk to Paddington, this will work for you. If you want some amenities or to feel like you’re staying in a nice place, I’d look elsewhere. Good hotel for the money for a bed and a shower. I left too early for breakfast.

The staff was kind, the hotel was clean, and we enjoyed the Paddington area. The room conveniently fit 5 ppl. It’s close to the train and tube stations and there are nice dining options. If you’re touring, make sure to see the famous man in the clock a few blocks away! Unfortunately the lift (elevator) was out to service when we were there but luckily we were on the first floor. I would stay here again with my family.

On appearance, everything looked pretty good until we were attacked by bedbugs in the middle of the night, my wife found a bedbug, actually crawling on her and was eaten all over her arm. I told the staff about it in the morning, didn’t seem too shocked.

Our favourite place to stay when visiting London. Easy walk to Paddington Station and close to plenty of dining options. Even though the rooms are small, they are clean and modern looking. Staff were amazing and friendly. Buffet breakfast was also very reasonable.
