Location was great as it is really close to Paddington Station. Family room was perfect for our group of 5 and everything was very clean. They no longer serve breakfast or provide airport shuttles but the Heathrow Express is still the best option from Paddington Station.

Perfect hotel for Paddington Station - a four minute walk!
Lots of cafés and shops in the next road, but the hotel itself is in a quiet, private street.
Check in is smooth, the staff are friendly, the rooms are spotlessly clean - a perfect gem!

Great location. The basement rooms have no windows and you can hear every movement above you. I would request not to stay in this area. Room was comfortable.

Very close to Heathrow airport, we just our bags about 500
Meters and walked dragging our bags, we saved a lot of money as we just took the train to wherever we needed to go. Friendly staff always at the entrance. Comfortable beds.
