Excellent place for a no frills, non-luxury stay. I was very comfortable here and, although there was no onsite restaurant or bar, my room was very clean and comfortable. It is located just a short 5-minute walk from Paddington Station, which was very convenient. I

Not too bad

One of the rooms we had on the ground level had mould above the shower, and wasn’t cleaned unlike the other room we at the same time. We found the beds comfy but kept moving away from the head board even when you sat on them. Shower tray waste was blocked so the tray would fill up. But overall great hotel for the area and price 😊

The property is old and needs a facelift. The room was small. That being said, it was comfortable and close to everything we wanted. We were able to walk to Hyde Park, Marble Arch and Oxford St. There were great pubs close by for meals and drinks. If you aren’t looking for 5 star luxury this is a great place to stay

A True Hidden Gem in Paddington

Stayed 4 nights in a single room. Bathroom was new and very clean, but it was tricky to adjust the shower temperature (too hot or cold), and the sink was too small for washing your face properly. Room had no AC as it is normal for most European hotels, but here was a fan in the closet to use. Also dryer in a drawer. Plenty of coffee and tea with an electric kettle, but desk/ table was quite small. Room was clean, with room service everyday. Bed was firm and only had 1 pillow, but there were extras in the closet. Walls were thick preventing most of the noise, except the ones coming from hallways. Staff was very polite and friendly. I didn't choose the breakfast option so can't say about it. Overall for the super low price I paid, it was worth every bit and had a great stay.

Zero stars if I could. Horrific experience. I don’t even know where to begin. This was by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had in my life. The beds felt like stone slabs and the duvet covers were absolutely disgusting—filthy with brown stains that looked like they hadn't been washed in months. There was no air conditioning, so we had no choice but to sleep with the window open. That turned into a nightmare when we were jolted awake in pure terror by someone coming through our window. It wasn’t a burglar—it was the hotel’s cleaning crew. Yes, they were using our window in our room to fold laundry on. As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, they were also dropping heavy laundry bags from the top floor down to the ground outside our window, some 50 feet up. The sound was deafening and terrifying. We asked them repeatedly to stop. They didn’t. I went to the front desk and was assured it wouldn’t happen again—but sure enough, it did the very next morning. To make matters worse, we saw cleaning staff sleeping on freshly cleaned towels—yes, the same towels meant for guests. Everywhere we looked, there were bugs crawling around, and we even saw rats running by. The shower temperature changed from ice cold to scalding hot on its own, with zero warning. I cannot believe this place is legally allowed to operate. Save yourself the stress, discomfort, and horror—do not stay here.

Fab location 5 mins walk from Paddington and a great base to get walking or public transport around London. Rooms were clean and comfortable and staff always on hand and helpful. Had one room on level 1 which was fab and a room in the basement which had a terrible smell so would recommended the first room but not the latter.

For 3 people, the room was extremely tiny. We had to knock to indicate we were exiting the bathroom. No A/C. Two fans provided. Not many options to plug in and they were blowing hot air. Horrible sleep on the mattresses and the bed moved when sitting up. Small gap that we could fall through. Tiny elevator and narrow hallway to exit with your luggage. Would never stay here again.

Staying just out of town.

Tea and coffee facilities are available in the took. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bathroom was well maintained and clean too. Just around the corner is Paddington station and lots of places to grab breakfast or lunch.
