Only positive is the location of the hotel and closeness to Paddington station.

Guarav, Netherlands

Location is great. very close to Paddington station. breakfast was good as continental. Quite place, carpet cleaning is questionable. rooms are too small (this is London).

Mohamed, Egypt

Rooms were ok, good bed, pity that cold wind came between the windows which was not comfortable, the bathroom was good, except of the broken shower. Perfect located to take bus or tube to London Lots of restaurants and a pub close by

Johnmccain, Belgium

The location is perfect. Very close to Paddington station, the city center / park / museums (history/science) without walking distance. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Quiet place, not noisy street. Clean room.

Lina, Lithuania

The location is good, It is clean, good for tourists who need a room for sleep only. And above all they have a good price compared to others.

Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia

Cheap 40 GBP for a night in a single room with a private bathroom and breakfast! Friendly staff. Location is perfect, walking distance to Hyde Park and Oxford street. Paddington station is very close. Single room is small but this is what I have expected, but the most important is the comfortable bed and clean bathroom.

“Just a bed for the night.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 1 night
We had a triple room in the basement which looked out on stairs with rubbish. The carpet looked like it had seen better days and I think the cleaner had just chucked a few things at the bottom of the stairs. Pretty grotty really, but I suppose you get what you pay for.
The location was great, near to Paddington, Hyde Park and Marble Arch.

Breakfast is at 7.30 to 9.15. By 8.45 there was not a lot left and by 9am the staff start cleaning and hoovering around you and on the second day they even got the mop out and mopped around customers still eating breakfast. The stink of bleach is not pleasant while eating. The view from the room was terrible as we were on the ground floor at the back of the building and all we could see was scaffolding and no natural light whatsoever. There was no decaf tea or coffee available.
The reception staff were very helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from Paddington. Good value for the price we paid.

Two 70+ year olds lugging heavy suitcases up a steep flight of stairs. We were told they had a lift, which they did, but not to every room. We ordered a taxi and got an over-priced hire car.

No air con and the fan in the room was noisy, but you can open the windows, which was okay as the area was surprisingly quiet at night. The bathroom is very small which makes the sink a little difficult to use as its so close to the door. Just as an aside; the 'free toiletries' are small bars of soap so you will need shower gel etc.
The beds were very comfy. The shower was excellent and easy to use. The breakfast was plentiful and there was plenty of space in the room to eat. The staff were very friendly. There's a T.V in the room, although it is rather large for the room. The room was a bit small, and although it had what we needed, there wasn't much room to move about. However, it was fine for one or maybe two nights, but I think for a long stay it would be a bit too cramped.

They staff was very huff and puff rude, like annoyed about having to deal with people. The walls are so thin that we picked up many conversations from the next room as well as their “mattress aerobics” and the followed snore. The room itself stank of cigarettes, to the point of vomiting. The breakfast was appalling! Hardly anything for choice, nothing for vegans or vegetarians or with gluten intolerance. I paid for breakfast I didn’t have. What was there didn’t look fresh or eatable. Also the kitchen staff smoking in the back and the smell getting in the dining room....
The shower in our room was amazing.
