Great budget hotel for our first night in London, family of 3. Clean sheets, comfy beds, hot showers, kettle in the room with tea/coffee and nice staff. Easily accessible from Paddington Station. Very small room and bathroom but manageable considering the price. They also allowed us to stow our luggage at no cost since we arrived from the US early in the day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

Marina Abreu

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
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

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.
