The location was very convenient and the room and stair way areas were all very clean. We hadn't realised we would be on the 4th floor and one of us was nearly 80! Breakfast was passable, more options for cereals would be appreciated, though there was fresh fruit. For London, good value accommodation

Good service, but the breakfast was the same every day. An advantage of that hotel is that it does offer rooms where a family of 5 can sleep.

Recommended for a short stay near Paddington.

Convenient one night stay near Paddington, room basic but clean and completely fine with small shower room, TV and tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast included, could be better as eggs not freshly prepared. Staff friendly and accommodating with storing our luggage. Recommended for a short stay.

This is a great budget option. The room was small but did fit 2 adults and 3 kids fine (we only used it as a base to sleep in - too busy out and about in London). Breakfast was basic but plenty for us. The shower and toilet were fitted into cupboards which was ok, but would have preferred a sink in with the toilet rather than having to go into the rooms to wash hands.

Hotel does not have 24hour staff. We arrived late due to airline delays. We advised the hotel. As a result we had to find another hotel after midnight for the first night of our 3 night stay.

Highly recommended

It was amazing to stay here.. close to amnesties and the owner is friendly and kind. We arrived early in the morning ie 7am and check in was suppose to be at 2pm. They allowed us to check into our room early and not only that, the owner also kind enough to offer us breakfast. We really appreciate their kind gesture. Will definitely come back and stay. Highly recommended.

Disappointing, frustrating. Will not return.

First, this place has no lifts, and they offered me no assistance in taking 2 suitcases and a backpack up 4-5 flights of stairs to my room. My sleep was disrupted several times during my stay - you could hear vehicles' motors, and each metal piece they ran over on the street, clearly from my 4th floor room. I could also hear much of what was going on in the next room through the wall. The bathroom is ridiculously small - I had to maneuver around the sink just to use the toilet, and again to get into the shower. The shower is quite small - I'm 6 ft. tall with wider shoulders, and kept the door open for showering because I could barely get around otherwise. Breakfast was good, but they ended service at 8 am or something and wouldn't let me have it the second day. What 3 star hotel ends breakfast at 8 am?! The front desk is in another building across the street. You have to ring the bell to be allowed in. While the young man at the desk was polite, it was extremely disappointing that they don't provide the guests disposable razors or shaving kits. Again, what 3 star hotel doesn't provide those?

Two good things to say about this hotel are the location and the beds. Both super and worth 5 stars! :) However, the breakfast is not worth mentioning, it ends already at 8:30 am and there is not seats enough for all guests (so allow time to wait). The staff are kind, but seems too busy, as they wait staring at you eating, ready to clean the table the second you have put the empty glass there. The bed sheets were clearly washed and nice, but there were hairs on the pillow and sheet, and the carpet on the floor was not very clean. We found things under the beds, and a toenail from a former guest next to the night table. So we were not impressed by that. So if you are not demanding a clean room with a good breakfast, but just need a central place to sleep for a fair price, I can recommend this hotel.

Great location, very average hotel. Room was a good size but bathroom was tiny, could hardly use the toilet! Furniture dated and room very basic. Cooked breakfast was fairly poor quality, although they offered fruit and juice. Overall feels like a hostel. Great location near Paddington and Hyde Park.

Helt greit bed and breakfast. Kun English breakfast til frokost, ikke noe særlig annet å velge i. Små rom, men gode senger. Bittelite bad. Kjempehyggelig betjening, da. Og super beliggenhet. Stille og rolig.
