Cheap and quiet hotel. Room could do with a refresh, and tv didn’t work. Mattress could also do with being replaced. For a one night stay it was ok.

5 minute walk from Paddington. Pretty bad, like maybe they run some illegal business and the hotel is a front. Worst bed I've ever slept on. But it had a good shower in the room and many London hotels have only shared bathrooms. I saved 40 dollars and I'm still doubting that that was worth it. But the shower was nice.

The room had a window to a dirty and ugly space that had a window!? No ventilation in the room. Old and very worn bed linens. The hotel has no breakfast room which is a pity however this I knew when booking. Many problems with leaking water, electricity been cut of etc. mainly due to renovation work one floor up. No soap in the shower room other than one little bag enough for one washing of hands. Nothing for the shower.
