Great London base
The hotel is an excellent place to use as a base for London as very close to Paddington station and allows for luggage to be stored before check in and after check out. The staff were very helpful, the room was very clean and extremely comfortable. We did not eat at this hotel so cannot comment on food.

Amazing area. Plenty of indian and Turkish restaurants near by. Managed to get a private room at an amazing price. had a weird interaction where I was woken up from my sleep and asked if I was making noise/ heard a noise. kind of off-putting but decent stay otherwise.

The room was a little in disrepair. They could not guarantee the safety of my luggage. There was no lift, and they did not offer to move my luggage up there. Second floor is 4 flights.

the hotel is about 5 minutes walk to paddington station. fastfood and coffee shop are also within 5 minutes walk. however, the hotel has no elevator so i have to carry my two 50-pounds luggages from the street to lobby then from lobby second floor where my room is located. i felt helpless during my stay there

Economy exacts a price.
My "room" was apparently once a stair landing. The door was 2" lower than my head. My knees sitting on the toilet were in the bedroom. The mirror had a sticker that read, "Non Potable Water" next to a water glass. The radiator has cold water in it. I asked for heat. They turned it on for ten minutes. The exterior looks nice.

Have stayed twice before & have been more than satisfied. On this occasion could only acquire a shared bathroom/convenience, which was quite far from the room. Just personally, could have done with a bigger, bed.

Super convenient just within quick walking distance from Paddington. Hope for a room near the lower levels to avoid trekking bags up stairs.

We were on the top floor and it’s a long way up! If you have any mobility issues please be aware. It was quite a noisy hotel in the evening from other guests. I am not sure if we were unlucky but i expected it to be quieter in the family rooms. The hotel is run down although the beds were very comfy. The shower got hot after running for 5 minutes so be patient. The kettle can only be plugged in if you put it on the floor. I thought this was a significant safety hazard for families with young children. I wouldn’t stay here again for the price we paid although the location to central london and paddington was excellent.
