This is a nice little hotel in a great convenient area. Close to Paddington Station. Many options to eat. Staff is friendly, Theo welcomed us and was very friendly. Some details of the hotel and room are dated but overall a great experience. Later this week we will be heading there for an additional 2 days.

No drinkingwater, smelly towels

The 'clean' towels were very smelly. There was no drinking water in the room, and the staff did not draw our attention to this act even though we were with small children. We did not get water, we had to buy it or ourselves, which was difficult.

Stayed in room 884 Situated on the ground floor below the stairs. The subway could be heard inside the room and was vibrating the room. It was very noisy. The air circulation was very poor and the room would end up damp. The shower had two steps. The stair was slippery and nothing was provided to avoid any fall. It was overpriced for the room

Great staff solves problems

I spent 3 nights. There was a middle school group of 50 kids. They were loud but the staff found us a room on another floor which was an upgrade and improved our stay. Location is great on a quiet street a short walk from Paddington Station. The rooms are well equipped with fridge and kettle. The included breakfast is basic, but good and I considered it an unexpected bonus value at the reasonable price of the room. The staff was very accommodating to all requests. Rooms show some wear, but clean and nice linens. I'd stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Our room was supposed to have a bunk bed. It had 2 twin beds pushed together and above those was a double bed that was hanging from the ceiling. It was accessible by rungs attached to the wall. The bed was not made when we got there and even though we had daily housekeeping, the top bed was never made. I don’t blame staff as I imagine it to be a nightmare to try and climb up and make the bed. Another disappointment I experienced was that I realized after an 5.30 am check out that I left my wedding ring and earrings in the room. I emailed the hotel immediately as we were travelling by train. I described where I left the jewelry only to be told they didn’t find it.

Greit for noen dager

Bra beliggenhet, kun fem minutter å gå til Paddington stasjon, seng var ok, rom ikke oppusset på en stund men funket fint for to netter. Største minuset var en del bråk i rommet i første etasje, både fra naboer som spilte høy musikk og snakket høyt, samt slamring med dører fra andre hotellgjester og personale. Det verste var bråk fra toget som antakelig går rett under bygget.

We like this place, although the space is kind of limited. The location is perfect, Paddington station is just around the corner. There are tons of food choice in the area. Hotel staff is very kind and helpful. The room is clean, and the bed is comfortable.
