Mini fridge had food in it from previous guest when we arrived. We asked to have it removed and cleaned out, this was not done. We had to remove the food ourselves. Beds not comfortable.

Rooms are clean and new. Service is poor. Heating didn't work in Feb in London, and they ignored my requests to fix it until the 4th time I mentioned it in 2 days. They sent a space heater. Don't take room 10 if you can go up and down stairs or have heavy bags. No help with that is available.

Check in was straight forward, location was good - close to the tube station, and Hyde park. It was a little tricky to find a nice looking restaurant within 10 mins walking distance, but that's personal taste. The hotel is located on a lovely tradition street which was nice, and the coffee machine in the lobby was a nice touch. Bed was comfortable, good sized bathroom and it was all clean too. The common area downstairs was ok, but some updating/modernization would be great, especially to the hall ways, a little bar or somewhere for cold drinks and snacks would be nice too. This would make it 4 star. Overall a nice stay.

The staff were lovely they couldn’t do enough for you, room was ok, mattress on the big bed wasn’t great, pillows are very flat, 2 plug sockets were burnt out so couldn’t be used. Carpet was very dusty. Cups could be bigger for a tea or coffee & replenished daily. Apart from a few minor details that could be fixed we were happy with the location

Other than a small appliance (coffee maker) that needed replacement because it was not working properly, the room itself, location, staff and all around quality of the hotel was very good, reasonably priced for its value, and would be recommended for guests and visitors who want convenient access to Paddington Stn (and the very efficient and well-connected Elizabeth Line, and other lines/tube hubs of Paddington incl. LHR airport!) as well as lovely Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. Overall recommended for mid-priced and good value stays in Central London.
