We booked this hotel for its position close to Paddington station and it is close to the station and good value. We arrived at 9pm and left at 6.30am so we literally wanted a bed and bathroom which we got. However the room was barely bigger than a single and we had to leave our cases just inside the door as there wasn’t room to put anything else anywhere. The bathroom was very small and the lift only just fitted two of us and bags. Do not stay here if you don’t want to be very cosy. The sash windows are single glazed and not well fitted so expect noise from the road.

really impressed first visit

This is a budget hotel but all the basics are right clean, comfortable bed, power shower in room 303 anyway, good lighting, large kettle with tea and coffee facilities. Ok the walls are a bit thin but it's a budget hotel in a converted townhouse. Definitely the best London budget hotel I have stayed in. 24 hour access with key card
amazing rainhead shower room
good towel rail and space to store my wash bag
Room 303 street view

I loved the location being so close to Paddington Station and walkable to Hyde Park. The beds were comfortable and the hotel very quiet. Only negative was the shower. It was impossible to shower without wetting my hair. Slight inconvenience. Otherwise all good.

You could tell it was a very old building (by Canadian standards) but was well taken care of. The halls were very narrow and the lift was tiny which didn't quite go to the floor we were on and all that made it difficult to navigate our bags to the room. Location was great, a few blocks to Paddington station and a quick walk to Hyde Park. The shower was very small with a very large shower head that was comical in proportions.

Both woke up the next morning covered in bites, so i would assume there was some sort of issue with Bed Bugs. Nothing else really needs a mention beyond that.

Abit to Noisy to us…

Friendly at check in - close to station so was great for us. room size on first appearance very small for two adults. Hardly any room to move. Place smelled nice. Very noisy once we got back to hotel room that evening 8 pm from room above us. We were tired and continuous banging from upstairs room. Made our mirror on the wall vibrate from the banging sounded like they were jumping off the bed?? floor above. Not the quiet relaxing hotel experience we were wanting of course we expect some noise but I think all guests should be told to respect others as some don’t understand that! We were both exhausted & cut our trip short I did tell reception, as noise started up again early morning. It was just a noisy hotel for us.

Second time within a month to stay in this hotel. A larger room with a double bed (hooray). Alas, it was in the basement and did not have a window. The room smelled quite badly and I asked (and got) a change of room. Also in the basement. Such a tiny shower - the shower head was huge and couldn't be directed away from the body to soap oneself. Turning around involved shuffling , no way to step and turn. The floor of the shower was VERY slippery - I ended up wearing flip-flops to shower. A comfortable room overall. Would I stay here again? Only if the room wasn't in the basement.

The room: I thought I'd booked a double but it was a single. Oh no. Okay that was either Expedia's (annoying app) or my fault. Like all budget hotels the facilities were basic but comfortable. No suitable place to put an empty suitcase. Otherwise acceptable if small accommodation. Would I book again? Yes. In fact I did at the end of the month for 2 more days.

This is very basic. Cheap but very basic. Single room was clean and of an acceptable standard. The road was noisy due to no double glazing and the extractor fan was permanently on
