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.

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.

Need better friendlier staff. The older blond lady who we checked us in was quite dismissive and rude. Perhaps get staff who are better with hotel operations 😏 expensive place to be treated that way, wouldnt stay again.

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.

The location is great. As a hotel next to a train station, it is very inconvenient that there is no way to leave bags at reception before or after one's stay.

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.

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.

Great Location and Breakfast, Rest Okay

The room and bathroom was okay, nothing too impressive or amazing, but okay overall. The location was; however, fantastic for walking, train, or bus. I'd recommend it largely based on this. The only negative with location was that the road noise/pub below was a little loud when trying to sleep, but was not prohibitive. I'd have the say the best part was the breakfast included, which they were able to make a vegetarian option. Overall I'd recommend it if you're not too fussed about amazing beds or showers (I do want to note it was clean), but are in London to see the sights, and get a delicious English Breakfast to start off your day!
