This hotel has mixed reviews.My experience was a pleasant one with my family.On check in, the staff were friendly and all house keeping was clearly explained including the situation with current renovations.Our room was clean and the room was set up ready with the sofa bed.I did find the pillows slightly uncomfortable so would appreciate a greater pillow selection.However my husband and daughter had no complaints.Nothing was too much trouble when we spoke to the staff.Breakfast was enjoyed by all and again despite a busy service on Tuesday morning, a member of the team quickly found us a table and madenit ready for us to enjoy breakfast.We enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant. Our waiter was very personable and we had a relaxed evening with no sense of rush at the table.The location for us was great. We enjoyed the hubbub of Central London and then could travel out. There was a lovely area to enjoy across the canal with restaurants.The only downside which we did not have to encounter thankfully but could see it being an issue for some residents depending on the room location was hucksters bar which was buzzing on the Saturday/ Sunday night when we came back to retire for the night. However I don't know what it's opening hours are to comment further.We will definitely return to the hotel when we next travel to London.

The staff is lovely. Attentive without being intrusive. They know how to be available. |It is so convenient to Paddington station but not noisy by any means. Easy to hop the tube and Heathrow express! |We have stayed here multiple times over 10 years - consistently stellar service.

Nice place to stay. It's close to transportation shops and dining. The employees are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast served is also nice with a good variety of options. The Bar is also great. Ask for Shah he makes really great tasting alcoholic beverages. Every drink I requested he made 😋

We stayed here on our last night before flying out...I wish we would have stayed longer. The hotel is very nice. Service was good. The rooms were so nice. We paid the executive upgrade of the standard room and the room had a tube and robes. Would definitely book this location again.

A very pleasant staff and very clean room in an extremely convenient location. The check-in staff is terrific, and very professional up to and including when we requested for them to allow us to leave our luggage upon checkout for a few hours. This truly enabled us to see more of the city without having to worry about anything. Very pleasant staff, clean room, excellent housekeeping service. The room is rather small considering it was reserved for 3 people. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna. Whoever from the hotel is reading this, please thank the staff that is at the check-in desk.

Have stayed here several times now and have had a comfortable and pleasant stay each time. On the last visit there was construction work going on to the exterior of the building but it didn’t disturb us. Rooms are clean and a decent size. Location is great for Paddington Station and the restaurants and bars along the canal that are closer by.

Overall, my family and I had a pleasant stay, and we appreciated the quality of the hotel and its amenities. However, I was disappointed with the provisional reception service. I had sent an email prior to our visit to inform the hotel that our trip was particularly special, as it was a birthday celebration for my sons—one who recently turned 10, and the other who turned 3 during our stay—but unfortunately, I never received a response. This lack of communication was a letdown, especially given the significance of the trip for us.Despite this, the rest of the services were satisfactory, and I hope future guests will benefit from more attentive communication.

This hotel is due to be renovated next year but they should bring it forward or at least discount your stay compared to other hotels in the area! …
