Basic accommodation, we had a room for a family of 5. They were all crammed in the same room. Bathroom was clean. The elevator was very small, we had to make two trips with our luggage. There is no real handicapped access that I could see. We had a senior that needed assistance to get up the narrow stairs.

On our way to Heathrow

Room, bathroom and bed linens were clean. The beds were comfortable. It was a small room, with an extremely small bathroom/shower, but if we wanted bigger amenities then we would have to pay a higher price. It was good value for the price.

We booked this hotel for its position close to Paddington station and it is close to the station and good value. We arrived at 9pm and left at 6.30am so we literally wanted a bed and bathroom which we got. However the room was barely bigger than a single and we had to leave our cases just inside the door as there wasn’t room to put anything else anywhere. The bathroom was very small and the lift only just fitted two of us and bags. Do not stay here if you don’t want to be very cosy. The sash windows are single glazed and not well fitted so expect noise from the road.

really impressed first visit

This is a budget hotel but all the basics are right clean, comfortable bed, power shower in room 303 anyway, good lighting, large kettle with tea and coffee facilities. Ok the walls are a bit thin but it's a budget hotel in a converted townhouse. Definitely the best London budget hotel I have stayed in. 24 hour access with key card
amazing rainhead shower room
good towel rail and space to store my wash bag

You could tell it was a very old building (by Canadian standards) but was well taken care of. The halls were very narrow and the lift was tiny which didn't quite go to the floor we were on and all that made it difficult to navigate our bags to the room. Location was great, a few blocks to Paddington station and a quick walk to Hyde Park. The shower was very small with a very large shower head that was comical in proportions.

Abit to Noisy to us…

Friendly at check in - close to station so was great for us. room size on first appearance very small for two adults. Hardly any room to move. Place smelled nice. Very noisy once we got back to hotel room that evening 8 pm from room above us. We were tired and continuous banging from upstairs room. Made our mirror on the wall vibrate from the banging sounded like they were jumping off the bed?? floor above. Not the quiet relaxing hotel experience we were wanting of course we expect some noise but I think all guests should be told to respect others as some don’t understand that! We were both exhausted & cut our trip short I did tell reception, as noise started up again early morning. It was just a noisy hotel for us.

Second time within a month to stay in this hotel. A larger room with a double bed (hooray). Alas, it was in the basement and did not have a window. The room smelled quite badly and I asked (and got) a change of room. Also in the basement. Such a tiny shower - the shower head was huge and couldn't be directed away from the body to soap oneself. Turning around involved shuffling , no way to step and turn. The floor of the shower was VERY slippery - I ended up wearing flip-flops to shower. A comfortable room overall. Would I stay here again? Only if the room wasn't in the basement.

The room: I thought I'd booked a double but it was a single. Oh no. Okay that was either Expedia's (annoying app) or my fault. Like all budget hotels the facilities were basic but comfortable. No suitable place to put an empty suitcase. Otherwise acceptable if small accommodation. Would I book again? Yes. In fact I did at the end of the month for 2 more days.
