Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

The hotel is in a row of older, converted 3 storey townhouses. We had room 1, on the main floor. It was okay for 1 night, but I wouldn't want to stay in it for any longer. The only reason for that is the size of it. I knew it would be small, but it was VERY small. The bathroom was very tight, the shower enclosure even tighter. On the good side, the building and room were very clean and it's in a good location. It's a short walk to Paddington Station along London St., giving easy access to the tube and rail lines. There are numerous restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood.

It is quite clean. Though the room is small, for an Asian lady of my size, it is good enough. It is a few min walk to Paddington Station, easy access to public transport and to Heathrow Express for airport.

Great Base for Exploring

Great stay for somewhere central to stay when exploring - we only needed the Elizabeth line, so perfect for that. Rooms are compact but clean and comfortable. Doors open and monitored 24/7 which was a bonus

Our stay in London

We found the hotel to be very clean. The beds were very comfortable, the linen also very clean and fresh. The staff were very polite and helpful organising taxis for us and replenishing tea and coffee as required. The room was a little small hence we have rated it good rather than excellent. We would happily return.

The floor boards above Room 5 need replacing. Woken up at 6.00 am just by someone walking in the room above. Not stamping - just walking.

Hotel was fine. Would have been nice to have two keys, it was inconvenient with only one when there was two of us, but they didn't have enough cards. Room was awkward with two doors to get into bedroom. Using the bathroom was very noisy, because of the squeaky door, in the middle of the night.
