If you like small and cozy rooms this is the place! It has a lovely location close to many shops and the underground. the staff have all been very friendly. the only reason the room is not five stars is due to the thin walls with my very loud neighbors. For my first out of country trip on my own this was a great choice!

The location of the hotel is super convenient and the staff service was amazing!! My room was compact but just what I was looking for - do note that the walls are thin and floors are creaky so if you are a light sleeper, you will likely hear lots of sounds. Special shoutout to Izzy - thank you for being so friendly and welcoming!

The hotel has a perfect location, few meters far from Paddington station. Breakfast rich and good . Receptionists very nice and helpful people. The room was too tiny and too warm but there was a fan that kept the room a bit cooler. Thanks indeed

Very average.Room wasn't pleasant, if work wasn't paying I'd have refunded and stayed elsewhere.Wonky, falling apart, mismatched furniture.The extraction fan in the bathroom furrier than a small animal.Peeling laminate on drawers.Pretty dismal really.I wasn't even meant to stay here, the hotel I was booked into could take me for some reason and sent me here!Guy in reception was nice though.

Wonderful, kind, thoughtful service. From housekeeping to questions, communication responsiveness to email answering the phone quickly everything about them was incredible.They held our bags before room check in so we could go exploring.We had a family suite which included two single beds on the main level with a beautiful giant door, balcony, as well as a loft which had a queen bed and an additional single bed.The room was exactly what you’d expect from such a historic hotel. We were very happy with the accommodations.The room only had one outlet in the main sleeping area and one outlet in the upstairs loft area but we knew about that ahead of time, so brought extension cords in advance.The main ceiling in the main room was very very tall, perhaps 20 or 25 feet high. The ceiling in the loft area was about 6 feet high with portions of it that were lower, perhaps 5 foot or 5 foot one, But everything was perfectly manageable and we were happy to have the extra space in the loft above.Some of the hallways were extraordinarily, narrow, perhaps Only 3 feet across. Definitely some of the hallways are a tight space.They do have elevators, but even if you take the elevator, you might have to go up or down five or six additional steps, depending on where your room is located.You can do late check out for 10£ an hour Up to one or 2 PM.We actually forgot an item in the room, and they found the item and held it for us, packaged it so that we could have it delivered to our next hotel, since we’ve already left the country.10/10 would love to stay here again, they were tremendous.

Nice location and nice rooms, a bit small but very clean. Maid service attentive. Also the staff very helpful and kind, especially the morning reception staff (Nisha and his colleague) because I interacted with them more. Even the night staff also super nice, greeting us every time in and out
