Cardiff Hotel  

The location , as we came up from Plymouth into Paddington Station. The Hotel was across the road and a hundred yards further on. We were out every day touring or seeing shows, bus travel was great as we were above ground, so could take in the views . Furthest we travelled was to the Arsenal. Two buses but no problems.

The only downside was we could not find the remote for the t v so the handyman came , lifted up the bed and asked me if I could see it, which I could so I retrived it .But under the bed had not been vacuumed for some considerable time . If the remote had been checked before the guests arrived under the bed would not of been seen !!!! I did point this out to the handyman.

The hotel receptionists were very friendly and helpfull. The localization was excelent.

The room was quite dirty.

The location was perfect, it took me 3 minutes to reach subway station and 5 minutes to reach to railway sitation which has a direct access to airport.

The internet connection could became weak.Also, there is no elevator, which does not consist any problem for me, but it could be a problem for those who did not like or could not make it through the higher levels.

The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The location is perfect for getting round london, either by bus (No 23 to Trafalgar square) or tube, and taxis are everywhere in that area. It's just a five minute walk to Hyde Park/Kensington gardens and there are lots of shops,pubs and retaurants all around Paddington.

The room we had could have done with some shelves (there is not room for a wardrobe) to put on t shirts, underwear etc but, that said we were satisfied with the rooms cleanliness. Well done.

Excellent location just next to Paddington station. Although I chose a room with no attached bathroom I was pleasantly surprised that it was a private bathroom one floor up so it wasn't an issue for me. Breakfast, although the same every day was great value with juice, cereal and yoghurt buffet spread and a single serve of eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans and tomatoes. Very hearty start to the day. Would not hesitate to stay there on my next trip.

Room can be a bit small though should not be an issue if you are used to Japan-size rooms. Was a little surprised when I returned one day and found that the cleaning person had not closed my room door properly. Thankfully, I had locked my luggage as per normal and nothing was taken. I believe it was just one minor oversight in an otherwise great stay. Internet was free but kind of broke down the last two days of my stay.

The location for our trip was ideal.

The room was uncomfortably hot and had no air conditioning, the small cooling fan provided was not sufficient. The breakfast was not up standard.

Great location, near Paddington Station (train and metro/tube/underground). Staff nice and helpful.

Small room and bathroom. There's no elevator (lift).

Location and friendly staff

A long steep climb to the room

It was close to Paddington Station, otherwise there was nothing to recommend it.

The stairs were steep and the room and shower was very basic.

Good location.

Room was very, very small! We couldn't even open our door into our room all the way because there was a bed in the way!! Bathroom was tiny, also.

Great location, friendly staff

The smallest ever room and bathroom size I've ever seen in the 3 stars category. Great workout to climb up to the third floor with the luggages without a lift.

location is perfect, free wi-fi

no lift, the hotel is very old, bathroom wasn't too clean, no toiletries except for a small brick of cheapest soap, shower is so small you can hardly squeeze in, no place to put your own toiletries.. when we entered the room it smelled really bad, we tried to open the window to get some fresh air in, seems like we were first to try in a very long time

The hotel was within walking distance of Paddington, plenty to do in the area. The hotel was basic but clean and comfortable.
