Would like a breakfast option even a basic cereal and toast. Rooms very hot. Road outside quite noisy. Staff great. Luggage storage facility, location to Paddington 5min walk, and local cafes restaurants and corner shops on doorstep. Safe area.

Unfortunately this was a really bad hotel to stay in. The bed was on casters, so if you sat on the bed or tried to sit up to watch TV , the whole bed moved. The shower was extremely hot, with no way to cool it down despite 2 visits by maintenance. It was advertised as having a bar and breakfast, but no bar or breakfast. They also advertised parking. Tjete was just 1 place outside which i managed to squeeze in, but again an additional charge. Quite a small room too, so i would not recommend staying in this hotel

Decent hotel

Decent hotel but my room was in the basement with no external window. It was fine, just wasn't made clear when I booked. As all the hotels on Sussex Gardens, the Cambridge is ideally located for travel to and from Paddington and onward to anywhere in London.

Needs work

Hotel needs a deep clean and maintenance. Issues with the door key.Thick dust everywhere didn't make me feel confident that the room had been cleaned. No lamps, broken/missing lights, odor in bathroom, and the worst shower I've ever used. Water came out of maybe 5 little holes, the rest sprayed out the back. Faucet knob fell off. Apparently the shower was leaking into the room below. Employee came into our room and called us 3 times within the space of an hour (9-10 Pm) after a long and stressful day and told us not to use the shower- we were unable to each have a shower. Overpriced for the condition and lack of a shower, we should have been offered compensation.
