The hotel may not have been exactly as expected from the website photos, but it proved to be a spotless and ideal choice for my daughter and me. The small, undecorated rooms full of old furniture were not a big issue for us personally.

My stay at the hotel was a blend of positives and negatives. The central London location was convenient, but the room layout was a bit unusual, with the basin and shower in the bedroom and the toilet tucked away in a small alcove. It faced a bustling street, which was lively but noisy due to nearby bars and restaurants. The decor felt outdated and could use some modernizing.

Rooms

7.0

The room setup was quirky with the basin and shower in the bedroom and the toilet in a hidden alcove. The street view added energy but also noise. The decor seemed dated and would benefit from renovation. Price-wise, it was what I expected for central London.

Service

6.0

The service was a mix of friendly and unfriendly encounters. While some staff members were nice and helpful, there were instances of disagreements with guests outside my room during early hours. The dry cleaning and tours/ticket assistance were convenient.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was fantastic, steps away from Paddington station in a lively area with easy access to shops and restaurants. Close proximity to Hyde Park gardens made it even more appealing. In terms of value, it was a good choice for a one-night stay.

Dining

6.0

I didn't try the dining options as there were several nearby food shops like Pret-A-Manger, Wasabi, and Sainsbury's. The ambiance at the hotel for tea and coffee service was a bit lacking due to the demeanor of the lady serving, though the rest of the staff were lovely.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel facilities were adequate, catering to basic needs. While I didn't extensively use them, they seemed functional. In terms of value for money, I would say it was reasonable for what was offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it provided a convenient location near Paddington station and had friendly staff, the dining options were below standard and the hotel itself was let down by its decorations.

Rooms

The room had everything we needed for our stay and was spotless, but unfortunately, it had the most unpleasant odour - like stale water.

Service

The staff were helpful and friendly, taking my luggage to and from my room on the second floor. However, some areas could use better lighting, especially next to the beds.

Location

The hotel is perfect if you're arriving via Heathrow Express and need to travel the next day. It's just a few meters from Paddington station and offers easy access to transportation for exploring London.

Dining

The dining options were a bit disappointing, with limited choices and food that seemed stale. However, the thin crispy fries were surprisingly good.

Facilities

The hotel offers parking for a reasonable fee and is convenient for traveling in and out of Paddington. However, the decor and dining area are not up to par.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and cozy, but I had to deal with the noise from the air conditioning fan units in the courtyard. The staff at reception were helpful, although I wish they could have provided a small table and chair for working. The location was convenient, but the dining options were basic and could use some improvement.
