There was only one friendly face at lobby desk. Housekeeping staff were nice. Bed and pillows were terribly hard. Linens were very rough. No shampoo or wash towels.

Checked in at 1.30, very quick and friendly process, nice big, clean room with 4 beds, good shower etc, we all slept perfectly, no noise and was the perfect temperature (we came 20th Dec) . Lovely breakfast included in price, we had scrambled eggs on toast and some fruit. Location was about 2 / 3 mins walk from paddington station incredibly easy to find! The hotel is a bit tired , but for the price we paid compared to other hotels, it was excellent, no problems at all. Thank you :)

The hotel was pretty shabby with carpets in need of replacement on the stairs. My room was in the basement and was therefore too close to the underground. Extremely noisy and the room shook every time a train went under. I asked for a transfer but there were no other rooms. I won't book here again in case a basement room is allocated.

The only good things: price and location. Everything else is trash. Unfriendly and unhelpful reception staff, super noisy, old and stuffy. Dirty walls and sheets. You get what you pay for, put another $50 down and don’t go though this if you don’t need.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Stayed in single room 2nd floor & also a basement room: Poor condition, small especially 2nd floor room . No space to place or to open properly a carry-on sized bag. No air conditioner or even a fan. 2nd fl room has a bad mixer tap in the shower( very difficult to adjust temperature of water; risk of scalding is real). No hooks or rail to hang towels. Note the stairs are narrow . Staff are nice and helpful. Amenities like kettle, fridge , sachets of tea, coffee, milk and sugar supplied. The best part of this hotel is its location ( a 5 min walk to Paddington Station)

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.

I had a great stay at the hotel. I stayed for 13 days and never had a problem at the hotel. As mentioned in previous reviews you do hear the rumbling on the trains from the tube since you are close to paddington station. However the building does not shake it is just a light rumbling sound. The building does not shake like you are in an earthquake. So it really is such a non issue I was worried when I read that concern before I came. However now being there it was not bad at all. This hotel as mentioned is very close to paddington station. Paddington station is a great station to catch multiple different trains. Very convenient for travelers to be near this station to get to tourist attractions easily. I am a woman who traveled solo and I never felt unsafe in the area. I walked at night with no concerns. I recommend this hotel great location near a big station paddington. Friendly staff at the desk and good cleaning services provided by housekeeping crew. Also located around good restaurants. Just an fyi for people who might have physical limitations the hotel does not have a lift (elevator) so be ready to lift your luggage up the stairs!
