The place overall was great. The room was small but confortable. Only the toilet was a bit too small, you couldn't close the door while sitting on the toilet and in the shower barely could move. The hot water took a while to go on. The area is lovely, a beautiful view to a park. Really close to Paddington Station and close to bus stops.

We stayed four nights at the Garden Court Hotel in Notting Hill. It is a nice, quiet area with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Just a few minutes walk also to the Baysbridge Tube Station and beautiful Kensington Gardens. We had a nice room with view of a little park. While the bathroom is small, the shower was amazing.

If you are going for budget only, if not avoid

Admittedly not the type of hotel i normally stay in, on arrival the room had the radiator on full and was making an awful noises, which could not be turned off to the next day, when maintenance arrived. The room is extremely small and the hotel has limited facilities.

Lovely check in person, clean and good area.

This is a good place for 1 maybe 2 nights. It was clean,we liked the window over the bed for fresh air and check in service was lovely and she held our bags for an hour after check out for free, very kind. We were there for 4 nights and the tiny tiny bathroom and small room space starts to get to you. No outlets next to the bed also tricky when you need to charge things.

This is by far the most terrible hotel I have ever stayed in my entire life. I am eternally perplexed how it managed to get 3 stars. We booked a twin room, yet we were given an unbelievably tiny space that barely fit one person, let alone two. The bathroom was so small it was nearly unusable. The room faced a busy street, and the noise insulation was nonexistent—it felt like we were sleeping on the sidewalk. So we complain. Because, you know, a hotel is supposed to provide sleep—not a live-action reenactment of urban chaos. They move us. To a room where the heating is broken and set to ‘Surface of the Sun.’ It’s sub-zero outside. Inside, it was a sweat lodge. We kept the windows wide open, practically begging for frostbite, and yet we were still roasting. ‘Oh, sorry, it’s the weekend. Maintenance isn’t available.’ OH, WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE! Because clearly, heating emergencies respect a 9-to-5 work schedule. After even more begging, we were moved again—to ANOTHER hotel, owned by this manager. Caring Hotel. The bed was so tiny there is no way it would fit two people We physically could not sleep. She left early because it literally didn't fit us both. In the end, we asked for a refund. They get offended and say "we gave you options, you didn't like them". An ‘option’ implies at least one of the choices is functional.It's like serving someone a burnt steak, then replacing it with raw chicken, and then acting shocked when they don't want to eat a plate of ice cubes instead.
