I was there during the May heat wave. There is no a/c in the rooms, they did provide a fan, but with 90+ degree weather it was unbearable. The hallways were even hotter than the rooms. The lobby was a/c... and they are "trying to get city approvals to install" but, nothing thus far. I asked for ice, and they had one tray in their refrigerator/freezer/ At least install an ice machine! I would definitely stay again, (as I have twice in the past) -- but only in the winter!

The staff and location of the hotel were amazing! Everyone was so friendly as I navigated London, not to mention the rooms were clean and did the job for the amount of time I was there for. The location was more than ideal to everything in central London.

A pleasant mid-price hotel in Bayswater. The only real problem we had was that the coffee machine didn't work. The staff were very helpful but couldn't solve the issue. The boss had a fiddle with it next day and got it to function again (although he implied it was our fault!) Otherwise, a good stay. Room clean and warm, staff friendly and helpful, plenty of hot water in the shower, breakfast fairly plain and simple but enough of it. Not too far from the Tube (Paddington or Lancaster Gate) Close to Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. The Indian restaurant directly over the road (Flavours of India) is a place we can recommend for an evening meal. Very good food, reasonable prices and welcoming atmosphere.

Marissa

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The overall stay is good if all you want is a hard bed and an ensuite bathroom. By all means, a good place to stay if that’s all you need. I do feel the need to mention the bedsheets and pillows smelled of body odour the whole time we were there despite asking them to change them multiple times. The breakfast is small and crowded, with no warm food (as advertised). It’s not a spectacular stay, but there are things that are inconvenient that makes staying here a little annoying. For example, no visible napkins in the breakfast room, or smelly sheets, or a safe where only the number 9 works, or pipes that go off at 2am, or banging on the walls at 5am, or no face cloths, or no pens to write letters with. The staff were very helpful when they were there, check in was quick, checkout with luggage storage was quick and easy, but the little things really do make this a mediocre place to stay, if that’s what you want.

Bra hotell, men ta INTe rum utan fönster.

Första natten hade jag ett dubbel rum utan fönster under bottenvåningen som luktade illa, men fick byta till ett rum med fönster nästa dag. Stort tack till receptionisten Georgiana.

Location brilliant! Everything else questionable

Location is excellent, close to Paddington and Hyde park. That I can’t fault. Rooms however are very small and stuffy with very small beds. My partner and I had a basement room and the window opened fully though it did little to help. An overpowering bleach smell in the room suggestive of thorough cleaning but the bed was still grubby. Rooms are not sound proof and we were disturbed multiple times in the night. Staff let us drop out bag off in the morning before check in but check out took a little longer than necessary as the man on check in desk was outside having a cigarette and not watching to see if guests were waiting. Did not have breakfast as gluten free options were not clear and there were loads of options close by. Is this hotel worth the price? Probably not, pay and extra £10-20 and stay somewhere else.

Nettes, kleines Hotel in bester Lage; das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag sauber gemacht, neue Handtücher; wir konnten kurzfristig ein Frühstück für den nächsten Tag mit dazu buchen (war durchaus in Ordnung für den Preis). Die Paddington Station ist fußläufig gut erreichbar, Frühstück in Lokalen im Umkreis ebenfalls möglich. Der einzige Nachteil: bei großer Hitze im 4. Stock wird es sehr warm, allerdings gibt es einen Ventilator auf dem Zimmer, damit lässt es sich gut aushalten.

Don't go there...I'm not spoiled but the room was just awesome. Had to climb over stairs blocking the door, no help to get my suitcase over the obstacle. Noisy at night and in the morning when staff is really loud. Smell of toilet, window opens only a little bit but drapes have to be closed or the next room can see right in. Very stuffy air. Awfull, that's all I can say.

Near to Paddington Station. The Rooms are too tiny, the staff in the Breakfast Room unfriendly, the selection from buffet was the Same every Single day and very poor. The bathroom smelled like hell. The Breakfast Room and the tables too tiny. The Windows had a bad noise cancelling, your Hear every moto, car or voices from outside. Never again. For that Price unacceptable. But May be normal in London.
