No air conditioning, but the weather was nice so it wasn’t a problem. No elevators and very tight stairs. It was extremely uncomfortable to go up and down the stairs while carrying luggage. The area around the hotel is nice and just a block away of the Paddington train station.

The facilities were old. We had 2 big suitcases, and we booked for a double room, but we were given a twin room with two small single beds on the top floor. We had a very tough time to get our suitcases up 79 stairs through a very narrow pathway.

The property was clean. Just a couple of issues, there was no elevator and we had to carry our heavy luggage up 5 flights of stairs. Also the pillows were pretty flat.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a lovely stay. The staff was very kind, welcoming and patient and answered any questions I had. Norfolk square park across the street is lovely and I never felt unsafe as a woman traveling alone. Hyde park and paddington station were a short walk away. This hotel is in an old Victorian building and with it come quirks like no elevator and non potable bathroom sink water but they had a water station in the lobby that was free to use 24/7 and a vending machine if you like to purchase snacks along with room service through a 3rd party delivery service. I enjoyed my stay immensely!
