Not recommended. As said by other reviewers this is a typical inexpensive hotel in the Paddington area but do give it a miss. It is more like a hostel and a poorly run one at that. Very small shappy cramped rooms. We were on the first floor--lucky as there is no lift --but there was a lot of noise from... More

We stayed here for the location and because it was quite cheap. All I can say is that you get what you pay for. The first room we were in was like a prison cell - you had to push the bed out of the way to open the door. The second room was better it dirty and overlooked a... More

Old shabby facility with small rooms and cramped shower/toilet space. The only reason for choosing this place is prime location - 1 min/ to Paddington station.

I'm the kind of person who tries to see the good in everything, difficult as it may be. The ONLY good point I can say about this hotel is it's proximity to Paddington Station. It is less than a minute's walk. Now, let's move on to all my complaints. One, receptionists are unaccommodating, inattentive and bordering discourteous. Never have I... More

Cheap hotel centrally based and that's about itll!! Scaffolding outside of the hotel did not give a good first impression. Guy on reception was helpful and the reception itself was ok. My room (422) was small with a double bed, very heavy floral curtains, a sash window opening out onto a view of the back of another property, cracks in... More

Had decent rating on Booking.com compared to others in the area so booked for one night whilst on business.Accomodation very basic and would expect more for the price.Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location for Paddington stataion and 5 mins from Hyde Park which was great for early morning run.Needs upgrading.

The location is very good, just across paddington station, where underground, heathrow express and trains to other part of england are available. The hotel facilities are basic: small room with tiny shower, no elevator to carry the bag to the fourth floor, minimal breakfast. But, if you are looking for budjet accomodation in a good location in London, this is... More

Where do I start. The lad on reception was very pleasant and helpful. The stairs off reception are fantastic with a wood carved balustrade. Once you reach the first floor you are greeted with threadbare carpet patched with gaffa tape and filth on the walls, I have photographs so if the management want to deny don't. A carpet Hoover was... More

The position is very convenient, just opposite Paddinton train/underground station and various bus stops too. The staff overall was helpful. The lift is still out of service. We were on the second floor so not easy climbing the stairs with the suitcases. The double room we had overlooking the main road was very small. just a double bed, a two-door... More

We stayed here for one night in February on our way to Spain. 5 minutes from Paddington. Nice Restaurants nearby (Dickens Tavern and Sawyer Arms). Only issue was lack of lift. I requested lower floors but even though we got second there were stairs going up and down before we reached our room. It felt like we were on the... More
