Ok for 1 night, nothing more!

On arrival I was asked by the foreign receptionist for my passport. I told him I have come from Ipswich so why would I have it on me? He kept asking for it and I kept saying I haven't got it. After a long time he (thankfully) just carried on with checking me in all of ONE night! Breakfast was basic but fine and room was small but ok for one night.

The hotel was well kept, the 5 person room was perfect for our family with three kids, the air conditioning was wonderful, and the breakfast was tasty. The location near Hyde Park is wonderful for walking and exploring. I would definitely stay here again.

VERY small room for 3 people.staff was wonderful. We had an issue with the shower temperature and they fixed it while we were out. It was also very hot in the room, even with window open and ac on. I think there may have been an issue with it but we never addressed it with the staff. Their continental breakfast options could have been better. Waitstaff was always ready to help or get what you needed. They front desk staff was super helpful with sightseeing info, bookings, and transportation, even stored oir luggage on the last day so we could do a little shopping before leaving for the train.

Lovely breakfast and very good service. Two things: how about shower mats in the showers? Slippery. Also, how about a bar of soap and a wash cloth in the bathroom. The safe was a bit fussy.

Hotel staff were lovely and welcoming and the room was decent however there are mice. We were unable to sleep due to the mice and felt that it had ruined our stay. Due to this there was also a foul odour in our room which made it unpleasant and difficult for us to breathe.

The room was stifling hot the entire stay because our room AC couldn’t keep up. The lift was broken for the last 5 days of our stay resulting in us having to carry suitcases up 4 flights of stairs. The front desk staff were pleasant but couldn’t assist with simple tasks like replacing dead batteries in the tv remote. Lastly the shower temperature control could not be adjusted for colder water resulting in hot showers for all during a small heat wave. We brought it up to the staff twice but they were unable to adjust the water temperature to anything below very warm. While we didn’t observe any mice, there were mousetraps under the beds. Our room was advertised as a family room however the room was way too small for 5 people especially with a bathroom that is the size of an airplane bathroom. The hotels location is convenient to Paddington Station and Hyde Park but I would not reccomend it at all. The value for money is low and the staff responsiveness to guest issues is quite poor as well.

Value for money

Staff were lovely, breakfast was lovely. Room was small but had everything we needed, maybe the bathroom could do with a refurb. Only issue I had was the noise but it was good value for money and great location
