Loose wall plug socket in bedroom that looked a bit dangerous. No iron or ironing board in the room and guy at front desk had to supply it. Nice clean breakfast room, but breakfast was mediocre. Room was tiny, literally the smallest room I have ever been in.

The room, although small, was still perfectly functional. The only small observation was that the shower cubicle was quite claustrophobic. The staff were very helpful and overall we had a lovely stay there and would stay again.
Perfect location near everything. Plenty of food options in walking distance. Easy and cheap transit to all attractions.

Even though it was an older building, it was clean. Breakfast was good each morning and our rooms were freshly made each evening. It’s in a really good area and close to the tube, bus stop and parks.

Great hotel!
Genuinely a brilliant hotel. Super friendly at check in, was provided with an ironing board ect and the place even had a small elevator. Which a fair amount of hotels in this area don't. Room was great, little balcony out the front too. Air conditioning and overall great. Breakfast was also decent downstairs with a good selections of bits and bobs, including some hot food too. Close to paddington and Hyde Park. Would absolutely stay again!
