We requested a lower level because we were traveling with an 82 year old. They never responded to tell us that wasn't an option so we assumed it was no problem. In hind sight I should have called them ahead of time, but they weren't very accomodating, so it probably wouldn't have helped us anyway. We arrived to find our room up 3 long flights of stairs with no elevator. The room was basically a dorm room. The shower was very slippery with no grab bar. It was hot in the room. We were very disappointed. We tried to move to another room and they offered us a room with bunk beds that still had flights of stairs. We attempted to get out of the reservation but they had no option for us. We should of stayed at the Hilton which was just a block or so away, but who knew. It was the only negative of our whole vacation, but we made the best of it. Our answer was to stay away from there as much as possible and that helped.

Excellent stay

We stayed for 3 days. Excellent service! Very friendly staff. Super convenient to many places we wanted to see. Thankfully, we were able to walk because there was a stroke going on for the trains and tube which caused grid lock. Definitely would stay there again

We traveled from the US to visit London for a few days. The location was excellent with many dining options, souvenir shops, and access to the Tube and buses. The room was clean, but small, and staff refresh towels each night. Even though the weather was 65-72degF and we slept with the window open, it was hot in the room with no airflow. The small oscillating fan they gave did nothing and we slept in minimal clothes and no covers. The bathroom was extremely small and smelled of mold but did the job I guess. Considering the price of other hotels in London, it was a reasonable room for the cost.

Great day. Right near Paddington train station so transportation was never an issue. The only thing I will say is if you have limited mobility, this may not be the place for you to stay. As there is no elevator in around four stories.

Pros: •within walking distance to Paddington station, bus stops, hop on hop off bus stop, places to eat, souvenir shops •place was relatively clean. •Staff were friendly and helpful. Meh: •Room was somewhat small; we were out most of the time, so we didn't mind as much. But the bathroom felt tiny. I bumped the shower door and got a bruise, while my mom said she had trouble sitting on the toilet, she's a bit bigger and kept knocking down the toilet paper. :/ also, you can hear the underground. We were on the 2nd floor and we're not light sleepers so it didnt bother us, but I could see an issue for some people. Cons: •had trouble with shower water temperature, it would go between hot and cold. •no a/c; but they had an old fan to help but still was pretty hot at the end of july. •no stairs; so if you have a lot of luggage, keep that in mind.
