The staff was kind, the hotel was clean, and we enjoyed the Paddington area. The room conveniently fit 5 ppl. It’s close to the train and tube stations and there are nice dining options. If you’re touring, make sure to see the famous man in the clock a few blocks away! Unfortunately the lift (elevator) was out to service when we were there but luckily we were on the first floor. I would stay here again with my family.

Disliked: Cleanliness
On appearance, everything looked pretty good until we were attacked by bedbugs in the middle of the night, my wife found a bedbug, actually crawling on her and was eaten all over her arm. I told the staff about it in the morning, didn’t seem too shocked.

Can’t say enough positive about our stay. The location is great with easy connections at Paddington and proximity to Hyde Park. We easily mad the walk to Buckingham several times. Appreciated the breakfast and the kind ladies that worked the breakfast area. I would stay again and recommend to others. Very good experience!
