Great value for the price. Property is old but clean and maintained. There's a lor of streetlight, so bring eye shades. Everything is quite basic, which is what you expect at that pricepoint. Extremely helpful and friendly staff.

Fantastic location! Good price. Room a little small, but with a cute bathroom inside! Shower was nice & hot. Lovely touches: tea, coffee, sugar, plates, cups, utensils, adaptor plug, fridge & microwave. Very clean sheets & towels! The entrance area smelled a little bit like old/stale cigarettes, but not inside room 4. Would highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was quite functional but if you’re looking for pristine living conditions, you will be disappointed The hostel was very close to the transportation lines and the sightseeing busses, the check in was quite easy and our luggage was transported from the check in place to our hostel. It was great. We weren’t sure what we would be getting when we booked a hostel, not a hotel. The location was near small shops and food vendors. Lots of pleasant surprises I would book there again

Location is excellent, close to Paddington station, but property needs a lot of work; room was very small, bed small and uncomfortable, bathroom without water during morning hours. This location looks more for hostel.

Great location

The staff here was top notch. They were all very helpful and friendly. Taking into consideration that this building is fairly old, the rooms were decent. Beds were alright, not the most comfortable, the pillows were a bit flat but the price was right for 4 adults. We felt safe and the room was clean. The location was excellent and very convenient, a short walk to Paddington Station.

The property is for families wanting to really see London. It’s Not a cozy place to hangout. It’s exactly what it states, the customer service is good, if you need anything they will adress it and assist you. Just note the guest desk isn’t at same location. Luckily the housekeeping staff was kind to show us the way. Other than that! For the price, location it’s near Paddington square to catch train and very nearby most of the sights just note it’s a lot of walking so the train is a great asset. Everyone is pleasant and very nice! For our family of 6 it was a great place for us. Please note the space is limited but that’s only because our original room was being renovated. Which is out of our control and the property. But truly worked out for us. If handicap, or traveling with an elderly parent etc. ask for a room on 1st floor or main building. Peaceful and worked for our needs.

Get what you pay for

Decent value compared to other nearby hotels, as the location is great (other than the 5min walk to reception) though the room wasn't very good. The shower had varied pressure that just stopped once mid-use and there was a strong smell from the bathroom. It didn't seem like anything was leaking directly into the bathroom but still was unpleasant.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Easy Check-in. Helpful staff, always there for you to help. Many restaurants nearby and many transport links are available. Right across Hyde Park, some minutes away from Oxford Street and less than about two minutes away from the Paddington station where my train got me and took me back to the airport. The location is very convenient and the kind owner is always there to offer sightseeing advice as well as a hot cup of tea. As for the rooms, they were clean and quiet. The only bad part was that a small park/garden which is exactly in front of the place was closed for gardening so I couldn't have a break there but other than that, because of their down to earth attitude whenever I will be back I will be choosing them and If they are fully booked I'll still be paying a visit to Mrs Litsa, the lovely owner.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were guests in this hotel. When we arrived we were first told that our room had been given to another due to a mistake. We were nevertheless friendly as visitors and accepted the fact that we were given an extra bed in our room. But when we came into the room and first wanted to use the toilet, the toilet was obviously broken. Because water came out everywhere. After the second day in London we were told the loo would be fixed when we got back to the hotel. When we came and saw that the toilet was "repaired", we ran out of patience. After discussions, a plumber finally came and actually fixed the toilet. If you just need a place to stay, this is the hotel for you. But we didn't want to stay in there any longer than necessary. As described, towels were available but a hair dryer, for example, was not on site.

GREAT STAY. Don’t be put off by the star rating.

Great location and really good space for me my partner and 4 young children. Although dated the room and hotel was very clean and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Toki was very helpful in making our stay straight forward. We have saved this location and will definitely stay at the atlas hostel again.

Great place, really comfortable

Paddington had issues and all trains canceled. I needed a place to stay as I wouldn't be too happy staying in Paddington. I have stayed here before, its got everything you need, clean and comfortable and great service.
