Room was tiny but cosy and very clean. Bathroom was GREAT, not a spill on the floor from the shower (anything it can be in 4-star hotels)!

So close to 2 tube stations for accessing all the attractions. There are lots of shopping options including Sainsburys, Tesco, cafes & bars right on the doorstep.
Linda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and had a kettle with teabags and coffee sachets. It is close to a lot of shops and restaurants. We went to a lovely cafe called Charlie’s kitchen (I believe) which was lovely. It is a 5 min or less walk to the bayswater tube station and another minute to Queensway tube station from there. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Staff were really friendly. Desk is open 24 hours.

Sinisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, for walking, dining, and transportation. My only criticism, was the beds were hard as rock. Note there were no lifts in this particular hotel. Lots of stairs.
Vanette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay if you're on a budget. No elevator and we received a lower floor room so it was difficult to take down and bring up the suitcases
Layth, 2-night trip

Nice quiet, central location. Very clean
Helen, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The first night my room was very cold. The next day (probably) housekeeping had turned on the radiator. When i came back at night, the room was about 30 degree and the radiator too hot to touch. I was left balancing the temperature my self by opening the window and adjusting the radiator. Also the water pressure was so low it was difficult to wash and it took forever until it was warm enough.
Mikko, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No elevator, near the road its too loud.
Sharon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean, a little bit of dust on the surfaces but hardly. The bed was fine in terms of comfort, the mattress wasn’t great but it was manageable. The bathroom was compact but decent, the shower was good. The room was small but not claustrophobic. The service was friendly and welcoming, and security is good. It’s close to shops and tube stations. The breakfast is excellent. Overall, I’ve rated this very good.

I give 2 stars because the hotel offers fresh water and near the paddington station
IMANE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Quiet, on a beautiful street opposite a small park/garden. M&S just a couple of blocks away. Good basic small hotel. Nothing fancy, but also nothing disturbing like many comparably priced hotels. Excellent value for the money. No lift. My single room was VERY small, and they were helpful in offering a larger one, but I decided to stay to be opposite the garden. Kind helpful staff.
