Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For 3 people, the room was extremely tiny. We had to knock to indicate we were exiting the bathroom. No A/C. Two fans provided. Not many options to plug in and they were blowing hot air. Horrible sleep on the mattresses and the bed moved when sitting up. Small gap that we could fall through. Tiny elevator and narrow hallway to exit with your luggage. Would never stay here again.

Staying just out of town.

Tea and coffee facilities are available in the took. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bathroom was well maintained and clean too. Just around the corner is Paddington station and lots of places to grab breakfast or lunch.

Smelly stuffy room!

The beds were comfortable, shower nice and and room was spacious but there was a horrible smell coming from the bathroom drains like cat urine. The room was very stuffy as no air con and the fans provided were coated in dust. We spied a rat in the street outside. The lift was tiny and didn’t feel very safe. Great location though, although very noisy at night with the traffic.

Good stay for the price

Decent stay, easy walk from Paddington station. Was able to check in early. Our room was street level and at the front of the hotel which was pretty noisy in July when you need the windows open to keep cool. There was a fan in the room which was quite a nice surprise!

Tired but serviceable

Location is good close to Paddington station. I don’t know how other rooms compared but mine was in the basement and needed attention on decor. It had a tiny shower cubicle with a great big overhead shower head. The floor moved and light got in all night from a light permanently on in the hallway through a small window with a net curtain. It looked like the room had had damp problems too, lumpy walls that had been painted over. Staff were fine on the check-in desk.

This property is within easy walking distance of Paddington station. We were able to leave our bags in the lobby early in the morning, before our room was ready, on our day of arrival and after check-out on the day of departure, which was very convenient. It was next to the lift, so we expected it to be noisy, but the soundproofing was very good. There were no breakfast facilities, which was fine for us, and it completely served our purposes, we'd definitely stay here again

Well located

Very small room but as advertised just dont think i understood quite how small it would be. Well located. Bed ok. Shower was very grubby with stains on bottom. Bathroom smelt incredibly damp and musty. Only one towel each. Room far too warm and no ac so had to have window open all night. Being beside lift was a little noisy. Staff friendly and left luggage facility.

Not much to be done as this area’s hotels are all smaller & old fashioned…so no AC, which was tough for sleeping. However its proximity to Paddington (and thus the Heathrow express) helps make up for the rest.

It was the cheapest place close to London, so you can’t expect much. Very small room. Good for a night or two but a bit tougher if you were there for a whole week
