Great budget hotel option if you don't plan to spend much time in your room. We had a room with two single beds and it was perfect for two travelers. The AC was amazing and the water pressure was good and strong. Extremely close to Paddington station made getting to the airport the next day a breeze. Didn't explore the area much but we were only staying for one evening and it served our purposes perfectly.

Location was excellent, easy access to Paddington station. Bathroom facilities very good and the room was well equipped and comfortable. Despite being on the first floor the down side of its convenient location was the noise produced by the trains. I would not like to stay here for a week

The bed was a disappointment. A “single” bed that was more akin to a child’s cot. And I was a guest for 4 nights. On the other hand, the location was terrific. Lots of places to eat at all price points.
