The hotel had a great location. Beds were a little springy but fine for one night. It has an elevator but no A/C which would be normally fine, but it was hot one day.

This place was in a great location, just a little small for our family. The people at breakfast in the morning were always smiling and helpful. I just noticed the bed had a foul odor; they may need to replace it soon. But other than that, it was a good choice for us.

Great little hotel near Paddington station! Affordable room for a family of five. Room is cozy and clean. Nice place to rest, but not meant to really spend lots of down time in. No frills room - no fridge or recliners. 5 minute walk to Paddington station. Lots of eating options nearby. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Continental breakfast hits the spot, servers bring toast to your table or hot porridge along with small buffet of other selections, including raisin rolls, croissants, yogurt, cereal, dried fruits, sliced cheese, cold ham and salami. Drinks include apple and orange juice, coffee and hot water for tea. Would stay again if going with family to London.
