Liked: Staff & service
The highlight of my stay was the staff, very friendly and accommodating. Also, the location was close to a lot of different options and walking distance from Paddington Station which is a large station that easily connects to most lines in London. Ideal location to quickly get around. However, the room floor was a little dusty. Also, I asked for a room with 3 beds and one of the beds was a cot, that was disappointing.

Good location with less then 2 min walk from Paddington station and high street. Parking available as promised and welcoming and friendly reception staff. Cleaning 4 out of 5 as some dust left over the bathroom mirror and shower and only downside is the bathroom fan, it’s very noisy and even when you shut the light remains working for 30min or so, which is mental.
