+ Convenient location + Decent bathroom with towels, soap, hot water + Hairdryer, kettle, tea & coffee in the room + Relatively quiet for London - Bed was not comfortable & room/hotel needs some TLC and updating. - You can hear everything what's going on in the next room

Great location to the train station and Hyde Park. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. What we didn’t like was the thin walls and our room was under the lobby so we heard all foot traffic and roller bags coming and going. We were also basement level and there was a musty smell. Perfect if you are looking for a no frills stay for a decent price.

Good enough

When we arrived our window lock was broken and I refused to sleep in the room as it was unsafe as I am a young solo female traveler. The receptionist at first didn’t understand what the issue was, and said there was nothing he could do about it and there was nothing else available, then suddenly there was another room to stay in for the night. The room was very small, and I felt like the pictures were a bit deceiving. The room was clean and the cleaners were very nice and accommodating.

Room was small and not very clean, floor was not vacuumed and we had a red stain on our sheets. Location was convenient close to Paddington but very basic accommodation that could do with better level of cleanliness.

THE PHOTOS ARE A SCAM. This was seriously the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We booked in for 4 nights and we checked out after 1. Just to give you an insight into our experience; we arrived to find mould absolutely caked into the fan in the room, when we asked for a replacement, we were denied. We found a toilet stained yellow that was so filthy I had to go ask the front desk for cleaning supplies so I COULD CLEAN IT MYSELF. Not to mention our room window was immediately on the other side of sewer drains so every time someone in the hotel flushed their toilet, I heard a rush of water that kept me up all through the night. They refused to give me a refund for the other 3 nights we did not stay. If you value your cleanliness, your sanity or your overall well-being; PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL.

There were shops nearby, public transport walkable. We had booked a premium twin with a window and we got the basement room with no window. We insisted on a change and were able to get a new room the next day by helpful staff

Not at all what I was picturing based on the pictures when I booked it. Floor was gross carpet with some stains, bathroom kept smelling like sewage. Based on the pictures when I booked I expected it to be much nicer. It was fairly clean and safe area. Was just deceived as it’s not what I thought I was booking otherwise it was a okay hotel and felt safe here

Better than I expected.

It was better than I expected, the place is very close to Paddington train station. We arrived early and we were allowed to go to our room as it was already available. Very friendly staff, very clean.

Stayed here on a budget trip with 3 other individuals. Good price for budgeting folks, but not comfortable or convenient as far as stay. No fridge, microwave. No air condition, handy during the summer. Beds were ok but you get what you pay for. Somewhat near certain rail stations which is good. Front desk relatively friendly. Overall not the best but not the worst. Will recommend for single travelers on a budget.
