Gresham Hotel116 Sussex Gardens, Paddington, W2 1UA London (Show map) Pleasant, Score from 71 reviews“I was clean and warm. The staff was friendly and helpful.”
David,
Gimel
Just 650 ft from Paddington Station, this reasonably-priced hotel is located in central London. Rooms each have a private bathroom, and Hyde Park is less than a 10 minute walk away. The many shops of Oxford Street are within a 15 minute walk. Regent’s Park, Madame Tussaud's and the vibrant West End neighborhood are all within a mile. The Gresham is easily accessible from Paddington Station, with its train and Tube (subway) services. Heathrow Airport is a 17-minute train ride away via the Heathrow Express Service. The rooms have a simple, functional decor, and there is free Wi-Fi in the bar. Ironing facilities can be requested at the front desk. Hotel Rooms: 57

The best quality about the Gresham Hotel is it's location, as it was very close to Paddington Station and Bayswater Road. I stayed in a single room which was exceptionally small, basically didn't have to get out of bed to reach the dressing table to out the kettle on!! The room was very noisy, I could hear people talking in the small hallway as if they were in the room with me. Continual noise from creaking stairs and floorboards. Only time it was quiet was between 1am-5.30am. Furniture and decor in desperate need of repair. Hotel managed to charge me a no-show charge, as they had made a double booking but in fairness did explain to me what had happened. I wouldn't recommend or stay in this hotel again.

Great location, Staff very approachable, room very clean, shower working perfectly, bed comfortable, good sized room. Room was underneath the bar which had a wooden floor.. All guests have to go through the bar to get to rooms. No plug socket to reach kettle, had to put it on the floor. No security for suitcases before / after checkin

The best thing about this hotel is it's location as it very close to the shopping center such ad oxford street and othe locations. Also the location of the hotel is very close to paddington station which I used the train to come and go to the heathrow airport directly The bedrooms are extremely small and the beds are extremely not comfortable. They have to do something about it.

Location The tv in room did not work and we asked the staff for help, he promised us to come to check. But finally, he did not come. I think the staff is not very helpful. The lift is old, when the lift arrived our floor, we can hear the noise very clearly and it is very disturbing! Also, room and room are very close. When someone open the door of the room that next to us, we just felt he/she opened our door. It made us scare and worried about our safety. Moreover, we can hear the noise of bed(due to worn wood of bed, the sound just like 'E...E...') from upper floor! So, we can't sleep at the first night. All in all, the room is very old fashioned. When I entered the room, I really want to run out immediately. I will never stay in this hotel if I have choice.

The staff was very friendly and willing to help. The location of the hotel is also an advantage. The room size that I got for the price that I paid was good enough for one person. I stayed at the front side of the hotel. I could hear the traffic when I went to sleep. However, it didn't keep me of not falling asleep. I would recommend using ear plugs for people for whom a slight noise causes not to fall asleep.

Location is really good (near paddington rail station, the tube) not expensive, but for payment of card you over pay 5%.

It is close to city center, so staying there is an advantage if you wish to visit those areas. I stayed there for 2 nights, then I check out and attend a training program. After that I came back to Gresham hoel again to stay one more night. The first room (211) I stayed has no window outside view. It is a bit boring.

Free wi-fi in the common area, fairly cheap reservation. Good quality television set in room. There was a safe in the wardrobe, but I didn't use it. The location of the hotel puts it a short walk away from Paddington Train Station, allowing direct access to the national rail and London Underground. The decor of the hotel is pleasant and inobtrusive. Space is quite limited in the single rooms. Some may find them cramped. The walls are quite thin so if the hotel had been busier I might have had to cope with noise. The bathroom did not smell pleasant (smelt like drainpipes) but there was nothing to suggest that this was due to unhygienic practices. 5% surcharge on the use of credit or debit cards to settle the hotel fee.

Good position and very clean. Towels changed every day. There are tv, air-dryer, towels, shampoo and soap. Staff is not very helpful and friendly....we didn't explain so much how things work in the hotel: wi-fi, and other things. And the elevator didn't work properly: you have to push the button for long time before it starts....if it starts and you don't have to take stairs!!

Location No aircon, tv didn't work properper and was hard to see from bed as it was around the corner, two plug sockets in the room but they were used for the tv and cable so you couldn't charge phones, turn on kettle without turning off the tv. Ironing facility was very poor, ironing board set up on level one in a stairwell.

Ottima posizione, staff disponibile ad ogni richiesta, ci hanno cambiato la camera al primo giorno perchè entravano spifferi dalla finestra e ce ne hanno data una più grande e comoda. Da sottolineare la pulizia sopra la media, dati gli standard britannici. Portavano via gli asciugamani sporchi ma non rimettevano quelli puliti, nonostante ciò bastava chiederli alla reception e ne fornivano immediatamente altri. Poche prese elettriche in camera, alcune stanze si trovano nei piani intermedi sui pianerottoli delle scale e quindi non direttamente raggiunte dall'ascensore, in posizione scomoda per chi ha molti bagagli.
