Good access to both under ground and the bus network for getting around London. Easy to reach from Paddington pretty much a straight shot out from the main station and you’re there in 10-15 minutes. Room has great air con keeps you so cool in the crazy London heat which you will 100% need. Would and will stay again in the future when the price is right

Hotel is in a great location, close to Paddington station, Hyde Park, restaurants and shops.We appreciated the air conditioning during the heat wave. Breakfast had lots of hot and cold options. Bed was comfortable and room had a small fridge. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only thing to note was building is old and room had old stained carpet and shower glass partition needed repair.

This is an ideal hotel for a concert at Hyde Park! Cannot fault the staff and their customer service we had a slight issue with the website uplifting the payment due to receiving a new card and the staff allowed up to pay upon arrival. Room was clean however there was signs of improvements needed.

Lovely building and nice quiet area. Short walk to tube station, very easy to get too. Nice coffee shops close by. The room was tidy. Bed was comfortable and very spacious. Only things I would point out are kettle lid didn’t close properly, bathroom sink didn’t drain very fast and there were no spoons or wooden sticks to go alongside the coffee and tea facilities, so nothing to stir your beverage with, but these weren’t major issues. Air con worked well and the staff were lovely. Would stay again.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. Everything was clean and aesthetically pleasing the only improvement I can say was that some carpets/curtains needed a replace as they looked like they had been previously stained, but they weren't bothersome to the experience. Very close to Paddington and Lancaster gate underground stations, and very close to Hyde Park which was handy! In a relatively nice area without much disturbance.
