Next time I’m in town, I am not looking for another hotel. This was my sixth time in London and I can’t believe I didn’t know about this beautiful, serene street with a premium location; five minute walk from Paddington station, easy transport to Heathrow (no more airport hotels for me!) The hotel may be old, but it is clean. Elevator, bathroom, TV, hair dryer, and all are modern. It will not change my decision to go back to this place, but here are some heads ups from my experience so you are prepared: 1. There is not much room to move around; if you’re traveling with big suitcases, you will need to optimize space. 2. Bring your own soap bar; the one that comes with the room does not clean the hands at all. 3. This is probably typical for UK but the AC was turned off in September (very American point of view, but I needed it. Still, you can crack the window open 2 inches and it’ll cool the room) Staff was amazing, overall a great stay!

This was a nice place to stay solo. The only complaint that I would have would be that the room does not need a door for the shower or the toilet rooms since the room was just for one person. The extra doors just make it inconvenient and make the already tight quarters feel even smaller.

Only good thing about the hotel is it's location just next to Paddington Station. Reason I booked this hotel was they have couple of reserved street parking which I could book (GBP 15 per night). I had a 10 day family trip Paris-London-Amsterdam-Brussels, had stayed in this hotel 3 nights, got a family room with 3 twin beds and a double bed through Expedia. We had 2 adults 2 big kids and a 5 years old and they charged another GBP 45 for 3 night without providing any extra amenities for the 5 years old kid. No other hotel did that in that trip or ever in my 25 years of travelling anywhere in the world. Free Breakfast till 9 AM is joke, just cereal and bread, but the ladies in the kitchen are awesome (does not speak English much though). You can use their Iron 10-6 only in their basement. Shower is so tiny that a fat guy wouldn't fit! They have AC but another GBP 10 per night to switch it on, they don't mention such things in Expedia. The day receptionist, a young brown boy is very pleasant but the night receptionist is terrible young guy with lot of attitude, not sure why but I would have fired such guy on first day from my business. And the manager, an old British lady, seems living in 18th century ruling the world! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone neither I would go back there.

Great location - only 5 minute walk from Paddington Station. Great for rail and underground access. Triple room was small but clean and comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was ok - coffee was not great, and no fresh fruit, only tinned peaches, but there was plenty of continental breakfast options. All the staff were kind and helpful. It was a hot summer night in our 4th floor room, so we called down for the AC to be switched on and this was an extra £10, but was worth every penny. Beds were comfortable and shower worked well. Thankfully there is an elevator in the building which we were very grateful. Overall good value for money in an exceptional location and I would happily book here again.

So close to Paddington and across the street from Hyde park. Very close to some amazing restaurants...our favorite was a place named Mimo's and Wahaca 😋😋. Walking distance to Carnaby, ... approx 40mins but the walk was good; we walked it numerous times. The hotel has the bare essentials, but for a spot where we were just going to sleep it was perfect. We were safe; the place was clean, rooms were cleaned everyday. The staff don't go out of there way to chat, but we liked that. To get air conditioning in the room is was 10£ extra a night...worked too good and room got pretty cold very fast. We will more likely book here again!
