Very central location. Near subways and Paddington train station that is in walking distance if you can walk for app 10 minutes. We had a great time at Phoenix hotel and even if the rooms is a little bit small it was very clean and tidy. Very good choice if you want easy access to central London.

Several Underground Lines and Paddington Station nearby, also good restaurants and supermarkets. Nice building near Notting Hill. Comfortable Rooms and good breakfast. Some rooms are very warm inside due to hot water lines without insulation.

Great location, only five minutes walk from Bayswater tube station. Clean functional rooms, lovely breakfast and friendly staff. This was a great place to stay for a few days sightseeing in London with my elderly father! …

The hotel is affordable, is in a nice neighbourhood and is easy to reach via the underground. However a few points if criticism: the rooms are really small and could do with a renovation. The carpets are old, and gave my room a distinctive smell. The shower is fixed to the wall, which I personally find very unpractical. It took the shower too long to get warm. There is only 1 elevator, which is not the fastest.Overall good value for money, but could be better.

Reviewing a hotel is obviously difficult. Requirements for each stay differs and guests will have different expectations depending on what they’re used to.I’ve been staying here regularly since Jan 2024 and for me it’s been perfect. Room sizes are small, but no worse than many many of the same townhouse style hotels in London. Pricing is always fair, of course it adjusts with demand, but this place is always on the lower end of the better rated hotels in London. Location is excellent, the area was already good but is really up and coming at the moment, it’s also very close to THREE major tube / underground lines.Having stayed here repeatedly, I’m always grateful for how clean everything is and the tea coffee and biscuits in the room. All the rooms I’ve stayed in have windows (not as uncommon as you’d think in London!). The lift always works. The breakfast is better than adequate. Staff are always helpful.Sound insulation could be better, but again, you choose to stay in a town house hotel over a century old, what should you expect? I’ve never had a real problem with this.Honestly, if you’re in London for a few days, theatre or shopping or work, and just need somewhere very well located and clean and friendly with a bit of personality unlike the chain hotels, then I recommend it.
