Avon Hotel  

Location, near Heathrow express. Think it was the best price that we could find at the time.

Internet didn't work at all in our room, despite this being a reason for booking. Bathroom too small altogether. No lift, staircase very narrow with narrow tread.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was small but had everything that we wanted. We were in the family room next to the breakfast area downstairs. There are two single beds and one double bed and a small bathroom with a great shower. Very close to Paddington station and a short walk to Edgeware Rd and Hyde Park. We enjoyed the breakfast and the coffee was very good too. Good WiFi, tv, lighting, small desk, and a most efficient bathroom.

I can't overstate the vibration and sound from the underground which clearly goes right below. We were prepared for it thanks to other reviews and we had a "white noise" machine that took care of most of it so it didn't really bother us. You might think that the underground stops at midnight but trains run all night. Probably you only feel this in the downstairs rooms. The room has no ac but we opened the window and it was fine.

Kate, the woman at the desk, was fantastic and very accommadating. This is a typical older hotel, some rooms smaller than others and lots of stairs. It was clean and comfortable and super close to Paddington Station (has the Heathrow express train from here). It is on a lovely street with a tree lined park near stores, restaurants and Hyde Park.

Can be noisy if your room is in the front with some street traffic nearby.

Very friendly staff. Great location & good breakfast.

Rooms were very small, bathroom was also very small, no room to move. We were on the top floor so 79 steps to our room, we were O.k with this but un suitable for other people. Also could hear babies crying all night from the other rooms...no soundproofing.

Excellent Value for money, perfect location bus stop right outside the hotel and 5 min walk to Edgeware Rd Tube Station. Staff really friendly and room very clean.

We chose Avalon because of price & location. It was extremely close to both a bus stop and Paddington station, so it was easy to get anywhere we wanted from there. The rooms were about the smallest we've ever stayed in and the bathroom was the size of a camper bathroom. However, we weren't in London to spend time in our room. So it worked great for us! The rooms were clean, the staff was wonderful and the breakfast was a surprise for such a small hotel--very good!! Only thing we wish we'd known was there was no lift/elevator. And we were on the 3rd floor with heavy bags. Oh well. Very nice stay in London!

Good location, friendly staff and good breakfast included!

Staff very friendly and helpful, location good. Great full English breakfast. Free Wifi.

4th floor room a work-out, no lift.

The location close to Paddington station and the Heathrow Express

The hotel is a bit creepy, the carpets, cupboards etc are really old and run down and looks not too clean although the linen and towels were clean. It is more geared to cheap holidayers and backpackers with rather than business people with breakfast only starting at 07:30. 07:00 can be an option but nothing earlier..

The staff at the hotel are very friendly, courteous and helpful - any queries about transportation, shopping, dining, etc. were all answered in depth. They are genuinely concerned about the comfort and well-being of their guests. The location is excellent for access to shopping (10 minute walk to Oxford Street), transportation (bus and trains), and hospital (St. Mary's). I had a wonderful holiday due to my stay at the Avon Hotel - it was like a home away from home.

Was really happy with the hotel. We arrived at 10AM ( 4 hours before check-in!) and was allowed to check into our room. The lady on reception was very friendly, polite and helpful. We checked in and left our bags in the room. The room was very small but had expected this from previous comments, so please don’t expect a large room to move two people around in. The bath room was tiny but still nice and clean –we also expected a small bathroom (maybe not this small) but it was practicable. We didn’t actually stay the night, (not the hotels fault – the man on reception seemed shocked we were leaving at 2130 after paying a small fortune to stay on new years eve) the pubs round by Paddington had shut at 9pm for private functions so no where apart from steak houses to drink. The embankment and leister square was PACKED beyond belief. So we left as no where to drink near hotel. Again not hotels fault . But first impressions was really pleased. Would use again and hopefully stay!

View wasn’t great, we had a room facing away from the entrance... Sadly the doors were thin and when leaving our room we could hear every thing being said in next doors.

Nice people, good location, good breakfast (let children have extra eggs etc instead of beans and tomatoes). Clean. Would recommend or stay again.

Stayed in basement so noice from subway but it stopped at night. Room and bathroom a bit small but adequate. Breakfast room a bit too small.
