Very close to Paddington. Very safe neighborhood. Breakfast worked well for an easy meal to start the day. They also have luggage storage and friendly staff Easy to navigate from Heathrow Airport. The hotel could use some updating but it is in central London. I would stay again .

The hotel was well kept, the 5 person room was perfect for our family with three kids, the air conditioning was wonderful, and the breakfast was tasty. The location near Hyde Park is wonderful for walking and exploring. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Friendly & helpful 24hr reception. Lift was not working for duration on stay. Room was too warm overnight and couldn’t turn off radiator - this was done for me following morning. Was good having breakfast included - simple but still options

Staff friendly and breakfast v pleasant. En-suite in 404 could do with some TLC. Similarly, fellow guests on 4th floor were so inconsiderate from 22:30 until 1am, I received no sleep during my stay. Hence, a little TLC on doors and notices reminding guests of typical curfews would be beneficial.
Sadly, based on how loud corridors were with guests coming and going, I’ll unlikely return due to fear of not sleeping again.

Great hotel near Paddington station
We stayed for a couple of night's and the hotel was excellent. We had a basement twin room, air conditioning. The free breakfast is also really good. The area is really nice close to Paddington Station. Plus Hyde Park is in walking distance.

Value for money
Staff were lovely, breakfast was lovely. Room was small but had everything we needed, maybe the bathroom could do with a refurb. Only issue I had was the noise but it was good value for money and great location

Good staying
Small and reasonable hotel close to Paddington station. The mostly problem is that the Wifi is weak and intermittent, I had to give up attend remote meeting. The location is good, close to the station and Hyde Park, perfect, and the walk before breakfast was wonderful. The breakfast was better than I expected, the taste was good, and the staff's service was very good. Overall it was a good stay.

Ok for 1 night, nothing more!
On arrival I was asked by the foreign receptionist for my passport. I told him I have come from Ipswich so why would I have it on me? He kept asking for it and I kept saying I haven't got it. After a long time he (thankfully) just carried on with checking me in all of ONE night!
Breakfast was basic but fine and room was small but ok for one night.

However, room bathroom was smelly, safety box did not work and there was no view from window. Due to these no more stars.

Lovely breakfast and very good service. Two things: how about shower mats in the showers? Slippery. Also, how about a bar of soap and a wash cloth in the bathroom. The safe was a bit fussy.

Would stay here again
Close to Paddington station, Paddington metro and Lancaster gate metro. Nice neighborhoods with good restaurants.
The room was tiny, but we only slept there so that was fine. One of the few hotels we looked at that had beds for three people. Comfortable beds. Nice staff, especially at the service desk, very helpful.
The breakfast was so-so. The elevator could only fit one person with luggage at a time. I can sleep through lots of noise, but if you can't it's good to know it's noisy outside and you can also hear people in the hallway.
Would stay here again.

Hmmm. Where to start. The staff was very friendly and should not be blamed for the condition of the hotel. However, we booked a room with a double bed and a single. It had three small twin beds. And really they had no business putting three beds in that room. We had no place to put our bags. We had to step over them the whole time there. There was a lift but it only went to the third floor. The room was on the fourth floor. The ceiling was so low and slanted that our son, who is 5'10" hit his head at least ten times. There was a small open wardrobe but no drawers of any kind. There was also a general odd smell in the entire place as well. For the amount of money we spent, I would expect just a bit more.
