Good budget hotel
Not sure where the bad reviews come from, booked this hotel for a family of five, it's a budget hotel, which does exactly what it's designed for, gave our family a comfortable room for the night in central London at a reasonable price in a good location

Breakfast available does not mean breakfast included, however, overall the breakfast was cheaper than all my other hotel reservation breakfasts. Also there was only one fan available, otherwise it was perfect. Great stay.

Our room was supposed to have a bunk bed. It had 2 twin beds pushed together and above those was a double bed that was hanging from the ceiling. It was accessible by rungs attached to the wall. The bed was not made when we got there and even though we had daily housekeeping, the top bed was never made. I don’t blame staff as I imagine it to be a nightmare to try and climb up and make the bed. Another disappointment I experienced was that I realized after an 5.30 am check out that I left my wedding ring and earrings in the room. I emailed the hotel immediately as we were travelling by train. I described where I left the jewelry only to be told they didn’t find it.

Liked: Staff & service
Very convenient for Paddington station and the staff I spoke to were helpful and friendly. However, I booked a twin room (single occupancy) and ended up in a 5 bed dormitory that heavily smelled of smoke. I was the only person in the room but it wasn’t what I was expecting. The room was also up 4 flights of narrow stairs with no lift, which I’m sure is fine if you are a lot fitter than I am with a lot less luggage

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I will start with the positive bits - the bedding was clean. The lights worked. The heating worked. I found the reception staff to be generally unhelpful and not friendly. I thought I had booked the hotel but noticed my booking changed to the inn which is just down the road. This was not explained at any point and the only communication I had was a day before arrival, I couldn’t get a booking confirmation out of them. My room was dirty, the walls were really bad, awful smell in the room and worse in the bathroom like drains. At several points in the night people were trying to access my room and one female who continuously tried to open using a key card and calling for me to open the door without any further explanation (I did not). For the latter reason I checked out after the first night, I could not face another night there. I get that you get what you pay for but this was really, really poor. Reviews are hit and miss, I guess some experience better than others. I’ve stayed in a few hotels in this area around the same budget which are far better.
