Fantastic and convenient gem

amazing decor and so comfortable, right on top of a lovely pub - loved this place!!! super convenient too - would stay again in a heartbeat. Only small thing to point out, you may need to be on an upper floor if you're a light sleeper on account of the trains so close to Paddington - otherwise, fantastic stay.

Great location

Pefect location for getting around London, 2 mins from Paddington station and the Underground. Room was pretty full with the 2nd sofa bed pulled out. Also Room 1 had the pleasure of the compressor for the pub going on/off all night which was not good. Also lots of nice cafes for braskfast

The room was great, we ate at the pub downstairs and enjoyed the food. My only complaint is that they are not open until later in the day to drop off luggage. Most other places offered this service to help travelers explore the city without having to carry all of their luggage. We did find a place down the street to store our things, for a fee, in a rough looking neighborhood. But otherwise, the stay was great.

Cute and convenient

We stayed in room 12 which overlooks a cute set of backyards. It’s on the third floor up some really winding steps - good fun. Quiet all the time even though it’s on a busy corner next to the train station. You could hear a slight rumble from trains but it never bothered us. The room is cute, small but very comfortable. It had a fridge. The shower doesn’t have great pressure but it worked. Comfy bed.

Loud - room located over a bar

Rooms on 2nd floor are directly over a bar that played music until about 11:30. Up to that point, it was very loud and hard to sleep. Noise started again around 8am, but not as loud. Rooms themselves were nice, recently remodeled. Room was clean and everything worked. Note that this really is less of a hotel than it is a bar with rooms. To check-in you stand in line at the bar, there is no desk. Also, they can't store luggage and wouldn't check me in early. I had to pay ~$30 to store bags from 1-3pm when I arrived and again from 11am-5pm the next day.

Nos ofrecieron disculpas porque habría unos arreglos en nuestro piso, de manera que nos ofrecieron otra "habitación". En realidad se trataba de un departamento. Fue una muy grata sorpresa. Solo tiene el problema de que no hay elevador, y hay que subir y bajar escaleras hasta una altura considerable con maletas en mano. Fuera de eso fue una experiencia formidable: el departamento tiene mucha luz natural y pues hay muchas ventanas. Tiene mobiliario y una distribución óptima y muy hogareña. Nos encantó el detalle de las flores naturales en la sala. Tuvimos una cocina integral con refrigerador, congelador, lavatrastes, lavadora, horno de microondas, secadora y todos los utensilios necesarios. Comedor completo, sala de TV con dos sillones, uno de los cuales se volvía cama. Dos recámaras, una con dos camas individuales y otra con una cama matrimonial, y dos baños completos.Fue una experiencia increíble.

It was my 1st time ever staying in a hostel. Very convenient for traveling in and out of Paddington. Noisy day and night (there are road works currently right outside the window), but I see it as adding to the ambiance. Close enough to walk to Hydepark. Overall a pleasant stay.
