Dylan Apartments Paddington  

The location

I complained as I was charged an extra 5% for paying by credit card. This wasnt on the website or the confirmation email so only realised when I arrived.

The apartamente is ok, but nothing more. Plain al at!

The paiment was with 5% charged on the accorded price because I paid with visa. Hallucinate you between two countriesin the same economic sistem, or not!

No lifts. Climbing up steep stairs can be hazardous with heavy luggage. They charge for luggage storage even for a few hours! Staff well trained in being high handed with lodgers when dealing with complaints. Internet service exorbitant and erratic quality on higher floors.

The location was terrific. We liked having a kitchenette for breakfasts in. Claudia, the housekeeper, was delightful and very thoughtful. Other staff were helpful.

The rooms are too small. We were rather shocked at the tiny size for something purported to be apartments when they were smaller than most hotel rooms we have stayed in. We were depending on the free wi-fi and had an extremely slow connection in our 4th floor room, so we were moved to the basement, which was better, but then were told that the wi-fi was only free the first 24 hours and then went up to 10 pounds per day. This really angered us. However, as I look at their page on your site I see that this is advertised; it's just a bad policy. Also, the basement room only had a sky light, no window, which was claustrophobic and poor air circulation (no fan). We would not stay there again and will not recommend the Dylan Apartments.

I have appreciate according to my opinion traditional style of house where Hotel is situated. Room was clean and contain everything necesary. And the location was really excelent - few metres from Paddington railway station.

Noise from neighbouring rooms - very thin walls. And one but small thing - í couldn´t reach reception before arrival (they didn´t answer phone and e-mail neither.

The location is really very good.

The walls are so thin that you can hear your neighbors very well.

It was clean, really

First they tried to settle us in a basement room, where te only source of deay light was a tiny window in the ceiling, completely sealed s no fresh air could come. Second, the studios are indeed tiny cubicles where you can (and must) do everything while sittingon a small double bed, since there is barely space for anything else. Wi-Fi for 15 pounds?!! Lol, no, thanks, it's free at any cafe in town!

The best bits were the cleanlieness of the room, the very helpful housemaid and the location (10 mins walk from paddington rail station and hyde park).

If you are looking for a peaceful sleep do not stay here!! there is no sound proofing between rooms and you can hear every little noise.

Friendly staff, easy going. Great location cloe to Hyde Park and Paddington Station. Provided us with everything we needed.

Room cramped. No help offered with heavy suitcases up 5 flights of narrow stairs. Kitchen appliances not brilliant, microwave flashed blue sparks when we attempted to use it. Old fashioned windows drafty and difficult to use.

Good location

Too expensive for such a tiny room. Not even enough room to even clean your teeth in a room that was stale.

The location of the hotel was perfect - a few minutes to the Paddington station or Hide Park. I was also pleased with the personal. Another good thing is that if you need to leave hotel at night there is a box for keys. So you can simply leave at any time.

The bathroom was very tight. It was impossible to bend down in the shower. The toilet was so close to shower that I must sit on side. One night there was a strange smell in the bathroom. But over all, we enjoy our trip and I can recommend this hotel if you do not plan to stay here whole time.

Very nice staff. Lots more space than expected (room 42). Fairly quiet. I think all the negative reviews here needs to take a reality check. Hotels in this area is very compact, you will not get a very big room, however this is reflected in the price. You pay for a clean room where you can sleep, shower and store your stuff. That is exactly what you get, and for me, it is very fair. I always pick a hotel in the Paddington/Bayswater area because it is very close to Oxford street/city centre and Hyde park, and they are very very cheap, but gives me what I need for a trip with friends or girlfriend. When I have kids, maybe I will have to look at other options due to space issues.

Would like the option to eat breakfast at the hotel.

Good location.

Room was to small to even put luggage bags. Floors look old and dirty. Do not choose room on basement floor, they have terible smell.
