    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Bed was fairly comfortable. Friendly staff. Poor organisation for breakfast. Too many stairs when you have a lot of luggage.

    Disappointing

    Top location, well connected One more towel in bathroom will be useful.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This compact single bed room was perfect for my needs as. 4ft 10” woman. The linen and towels were pristine and although the furniture was a little tired, the facilities: over bed lamp, fan, mini fridge, great sized TV and copious amounts of good quality tea and coffee were excellent. The shower room looked brand new and the water pressure and temp were great. The location was an easy flat, safe and 2min walk from Paddington transport links. The hotel had 24 hr reception and the staff were very prompt responding to my queries which put my mind at rest because I needed a late check in and didn’t arrive until gone 23:00. The price for this room was exceptional for central London. It didn’t bother me but my room was up a large Victorian sweeping stair case on the second floor (and there were higher floors) so I could imagine this would be difficult with luggage unless they were extremely fit.

    Great location for the event we had in Hyde Park.

    Location excellent Breakfast room good too Reception area good Opening windows! And not bad in the heat! Some reception staff had trouble understanding me. Toilet seat not properly positioned I didn’t realise my room would be at a different address to reception

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Good value for money for a stay in London. The staff were friendly and helpful when checking us in. The room was clean and did the job for what we paid. Top-floor room for six people felt quite small, and with only one fan it got quite warm, shower was poor

    Is really good located The room as are extremely small and the problem was that it was not specified in the booking

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great location, easy access to jump on the tube and lots of great shops and store stores nearby to get water and snacks. Separate bathrooms in the hallways were nice to have access to when multiple people have to go at the same time With our family of five this room was really tight. The bathroom was very tiny like an airplane bathroom.

    Helpful No ac only fan but clean rooms

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff were friendly, bed was comfortable and breakfast was satisfying. The single room was decidedly small and lacked AC.

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean and tidy room, just what was needed for a night in London.
