I rarewly give negative comments but this place almost gave me a heart attack! We were given a room up the 4th floor, with 8 flights of staurs! Thankfully we got medium sized luggage but still it was hard negotiating the steep stairs. In our 60's, which could be glemaed from he detrails I hgave given earlier for online check in they sure knew our health sitiuation. Anyway, we did it, but despite the friendly staff, especially the guy at check out (African American guy possibly, not sure, sorry) I am not going back here. There was no aircon here too, we had to open the window to let the fresh air in. I cannot imagine it comfy in summer. The beds were sagging and too low, even for a short person like me. I bumped my head a few times. I was scared my hub will break the upper bink bed, oh dear..Just not a very pleasant stay, I'm sorry to say. The rooms in France were way better than our London hotels. Even the one in Abu Dhabi airport was way nicer and cheaper. I am not sure how they are able to charge too much for a crappy hotel.

The location is awesome. Super close from Paddington Station. The staff was very kind and tried to accommodate our needs. Room wasn't too bad also. For this price, it was pretty satisfying. The shower was warm and TV worked well. However, I had to comment that our room was right on top of SUBWAY!!! I was unable to sleep because every 5 minutes, the whole room was rumbling....

No drinkingwater, smelly towels

The 'clean' towels were very smelly. There was no drinking water in the room, and the staff did not draw our attention to this act even though we were with small children. We did not get water, we had to buy it or ourselves, which was difficult.

A great hotel well located

I had a single room, it was very small with a really narrow single bed but it was comfortable, clean and with coffee/tea facilities and a fridge too. The room was nice on warm on arrival. For the money you cant go wrong really, great location around shops and restaurants and a stroll from the tube. Breakfast was listed as a cooked breakfast but it was basically scrambled egg and then cold meat, cheese etc.. OK though.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
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.
