6/10 Good
Close to Paddington, shops and restaurants. Clean enough - fresh towels. Easy check-in. A bit noisy with doors banging and room had a smell of smoke.

Checked in at 1.30, very quick and friendly process, nice big, clean room with 4 beds, good shower etc, we all slept perfectly, no noise and was the perfect temperature (we came 20th Dec) . Lovely breakfast included in price, we had scrambled eggs on toast and some fruit.
Location was about 2 / 3 mins walk from paddington station incredibly easy to find! The hotel is a bit tired , but for the price we paid compared to other hotels, it was excellent, no problems at all.
Thank you :)

Quiet area but the tumbling of trains can be felt from the Paddington station. Room was adequate and as advertised. Washroom was a bit cramped but definitely functional to use.

Breakfast choice was adequate. It was kept topped up, and although busy, provided what was needed. A larger dining area would be better, but they are limited with space.
Room and bed were comfortable, but noise from underground trains passing so close underneath was distracting. A good location and hotel for a couple of nights on a budget.

The hotel is well organized, with rooms cleaned daily and towels changed regularly.
What I missed was an elevator, as I had a lot of luggage and a child, and we stayed on the top floor — carrying everything upstairs was a bit difficult.
The staff is very kind, and the hotel has a great location, very close to the station, restaurants, cafés, and markets.
Although the building is older, it is still comfortable and located in a quiet neighborhood.
I would definitely stay there again.

Good location but does have noise and vibration from the underground. We had no hot water on arrival but this was resolved by morning. Breakfast is a good selection but needs to be kept warm as the toast amd eggs were cold. Room was clean and staff are helpful amd friendly.

Excellent stay
We stayed for 3 days. Excellent service! Very friendly staff. Super convenient to many places we wanted to see. Thankfully, we were able to walk because there was a stroke going on for the trains and tube which caused grid lock. Definitely would stay there again

Breakfast was nice continental style with just about anything you could want. I like that it was included as it saves time and money, and that included breakfast is disappearing in this area that was once all b and b’s.
Building is old with no lift, but is well maintained and clean. The location is great if you are going to or coming from Heathrow, as the express train goes to Paddington station which is just a block away.

Great location, convenient to host 5 people in one room. Beds we're ok and clean. Breakfast was pretty good considering.
Less good: shower was feeble and cold (could just be the time we tried to use it?) and the room was shabby - heavy wear on the bedframes and flooring.
Pretty good value overall and we'd use it again, which says everything really.
