Location. Breakfast. Bar and lobby. Very small room. Very old small telly. Only one very slow lift is not sufficient. Only one computor for guests and not free! No reaction from security to repeated loud banging on doors at 04:00 to 06:00 in the night.

It's in the city center. The recepcionist made a mistake during booking. I booked a non-smoker room. When I arrived at my room I noticed it was a smoking room so I went back to the reception. There the receptionist answered me in a very bad mood that it was my mistake and I should have told them before about the problem. How do you expect me to do your work Mrs receptionist?...

A location is good and staff is good. Breakfast was good more than I thought. The room was very very narrow and leans. But, I was only sleeps. No problem.

Location is great, room was clean and warm and our double room was a reasonable size for London. Bath and shower facilities were also good, bed was comfortable after a long day of sight seeing. Breakfast time and service was chaotic, appeared disorganised and staff appeared unfriendly, when asked for assistant.

Good position, short walk to 2 tube stations. Nice bar and comfy lounge, feels welcoming when you walk in. Good breakfast, with possibility of eggs etc. as an inexpensive extra. Courtesy tray in room. Double room was a reasonable size, comfortable bed, modern bathroom with good towels. Quiet at night. Multi-lingual staff were very helpful - we were there when it snowed and the reception took a lot of time checking our flights and trains for us. Could leave luggage for the day when we checked out. We've stayed in other hotels in the same area but this is definitely the nicest. Would recommend it. Hotels are expensive in this area but it is central London and this one is very good value for money.

Staff were friendly and helpful and quickly checked me in. Room is clean and warm. TV does have freeview and is a flatscreen type.Breakfast is okay. It had about 3 square metres of free flooring, it was hard to use the desk as the chair was very close to the bed, the bathroom door also only opens halfway as the same bed is in the way. The room felt like a single room with a double bed shoehorned in.

Good location near tubes in a nice area of London. Overlooking a lovely square, fairly quiet even though in City. Great shopping nearby. Friendly staff and a really enjoyable breakfast, a nice room with lovely hot shower which was super. Room we stayed in whilst clean and comfy would benefit from a refurb with matching furniture.

The price is right. The service is correct. The room was a bit outdated and new wallpaper might be a good idea. Wifi was very poor this day even in the lobby and inexistant in the room.

Great location a short walk from two tube stations, several restaurants and shops and a stone's throw from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Good continental breakfast. Very comfortable bed. Modern bathroom. Good shower. Room cleaned thoroughly every day, in fact twice in one day! Tea/coffee making facilities with biscuits. Flatscreen tv with most freeview channels. Lovely seating areas with comfy chairs through lobby/bar area. Daily newspapers provided.

It's hard to find a decent hotel in London with at a good price. The room is small for a double (I believe it to be a single with a double bed in). The bed was very comfortable, free wi-fi and a great location.

location small room, no closet. A week before booking.com assured us there were rooms available and took my reservation, we visited the hotel and the front desk said they were sold out for that night, which made us nervous, but they did have the room available and at the booking.com price.

Room size was good in this hotel compared to other similar grade hotels I have used in the surroundings of Paddington Station. The bathroom was very clean and well serviced. And the lift did work. Out of 3 hotels I have used this week, this is the only hotel where the lift worked. No airconditioning system. In summer in London this is a necessity for any decent hotel. Fortunately there was a fan in the room.
