Location was excellent, easy access to Paddington station. Bathroom facilities very good and the room was well equipped and comfortable. Despite being on the first floor the down side of its convenient location was the noise produced by the trains. I would not like to stay here for a week

Very easy to check-in and found the property okay. I booked with a private bathroom which was on the top floor which had steep stairs. The room I was in smelt too much of bleach but as I only slept there it was bearable. Would book again for the price!
