We appreciated that we could leave our luggage before we checked in at 3 PM. Once we checked in our room was perfect for our family of five with a tiny bathroom as well. It was a little stuffy, but they offered a fan which helped. The breakfast was amazing and delicious. We were extremely close to two bus stops and a major metro Station. We would definitely stay here again. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

I’m not sure what bedbugs look like, but I think they have an infestation.

It was ok for the price paid. The room was basic, but was fine for sleeping, as expected with a hotel like this you hear plenty of noise from above and the landings.

A little tatty but perfectly adequate for a weekend break. A bit of noise in the ground floor room but I still slept well on the comfortable bed

Really nice place, right next to the train station and super accessible.

6/10

We stayed for one night because the hotel was very convenient to Paddington. The room was basic but fine. It was clean. The biggest problem is that we were on the ground floor and the hotel is so close to the trains and tubes that we heard and felt them going through until traffic slowed down overnight. It worked well for one night before onwhard travel out of Heathrow and allowed us an afternoon to walk around in the city rather than being stuck out by the airport, but I wouldn't want to stay for many days unless in a room farther from the rumble.

Another quick visit to London and The Shakespeare. It's ideal for its convenient location, which is close to Paddington Rail & Tube, with nearby choice of food and drink establishments. The room is small but perfectly suitable for a solo one-night stay, with a good shower and comfortable bed, along with helpful staff.

We had a lovely time. We went to London to see The cirque du soleil.The hotel is very central and very clean, ideal if you want to stay central with eatery around and a underground a few steps away.We definitely come back. Lovely staff as well.

8/10

Surprisingly spacious room for the price in central London. Good bars and restaurants in the area but a little spoiled by the rubbish bags and homeless people in the vicinity. Nonetheless I would definitely book again as this isn't the hotels fault.

Good location just around the corner from Paddington station. It’s not the ritz but great for a one night stay after a night out. Yes you do hear the underground sometimes but it’s fine.
