Location superb close to Hyde Park. Lancaster Gate and Paddington. Hotel felt faded but the bed was clean and the bathroom was serviceable. Great price for the central London location - just don’t expect too much from the hotel … it’s a place to sleep and not much else

One of the dirtiest, not well looked after places ever stayed. Many things were broken and rooms in general been dirty including beddings. Person workingon reception was great and well helpful which was massive positive, but hotel in general need a lot improved and better cleaning team, also a lot of fixing.

For a budget this hotel has an amazing location, very short walk from Paddington and Lancaster Gate tube station. Some lovely restaurants in the area and coffee shops. 4 minutes walk from Hyde Park. The room mattress is thin to the point of you think you can feel the bed springs, but not so bad you can’t sleep. The bathroom is best described as compact and Bijou, let’s say totally unsuitable for the average size of our American cousins. But yes I’d stay again as the location is perfect and the price reasonable

Do not stay here. Worst place I've ever slept. The rooms are not as advertised, the pictures are all AI or stolen. Room was full of mould, damp, tap falling off, shower didn't drain, no amenities, a pubic hair on the bed, could touch either side of the room with outstretched arms and the window was held open with a bit of wood. Only positive was the location to Hyde park. But avoid at all costs!!
