I stayed in a single room with an attached bathroom and it was a great stay for a solo female traveler! It is right next to Paddington Station, which made transportation super easy. The only con was having to walk up several flights of stairs to my room, but that is to be expected for an older property!

It’s was perfect for the price. Super convenient to Paddington station and met our needs. The room had a fridge and an en-suite bathroom. The morning breakfast was nice as well. While it didn’t have the same amenities as a more upscale resort, it was eminently serviceable for the price with an unbearable central location.

Walking distance from Paddington station - tons of food options around. Every different from North American hotels - no elevators or AC - rooms and washroom are small. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I suggest they get better fans. Breakfast was good - includes eggs beans waffles toast cold cut meat cereal and drinks.

Great location. Who cares about the hotel. Tiny stairs. Tiny room. Very hot, during the summer. But who cares about that, central location easy to walk or take public transportation.

For access to public transport and restaurants this location was ideal. As there was no elevator in old building you have to navigate steep stairs to get to your room. Not easy with luggage. Room was small but well maintained.

Property was great and just as described online. Only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the reception staff was quite rude. Thankfully after checking in, no additional contact with them was needed.

Provided a fan and a fridge which was great, given the heatwave temperatures. Top floor room and minimal noise from other rooms. Easy (online) checkin. Shame the area is messy and lacking a good clean up.

Typical Paddington-area hotel. Perfectly fine for one night at the end of a UK holiday before you take the Heathrow Express to LHR. But not for longer than one night. Tiny, hot rooms, noisy if you have a room that faces Norfolk Square. Perfunctory breakfast.
