We like this place, although the space is kind of limited. The location is perfect, Paddington station is just around the corner. There are tons of food choice in the area. Hotel staff is very kind and helpful. The room is clean, and the bed is comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Location was excellent if you are in town to see the sights. 10 minute walk to Paddington Station. Many restaurants, gift shops and grocery stores within minutes of walking. Amenities are sparse, however, we were not in our room much as we were just in town for a few days to see the sites of London so location was key for us. Place was clean and staff was friendly. Beds were comfortable.

We felt thankful to find a 6 bed room (3 bunk beds) for our 2 adult and 4 kid family. The location is fantastic as it’s only an 5 minute walk from Paddington Station, and there’s a park across the street for picnics. Paddington has an express train from LHR, and has tube access to central tourist sites. Staff cleaned our room and brought fresh towels daily. There was a mini fridge, fan and kettle there, too. No potable water or air conditioning, though. Also, there’s no elevator so we had 80 steps up to our room. We didn’t mind, but that’s what to expect.

The location is awesome. Super close from Paddington Station. The staff was very kind and tried to accommodate our needs. Room wasn't too bad also. For this price, it was pretty satisfying. The shower was warm and TV worked well. However, I had to comment that our room was right on top of SUBWAY!!! I was unable to sleep because every 5 minutes, the whole room was rumbling....

A great hotel well located

I had a single room, it was very small with a really narrow single bed but it was comfortable, clean and with coffee/tea facilities and a fridge too. The room was nice on warm on arrival. For the money you cant go wrong really, great location around shops and restaurants and a stroll from the tube. Breakfast was listed as a cooked breakfast but it was basically scrambled egg and then cold meat, cheese etc.. OK though.

Good budget hotel

Not sure where the bad reviews come from, booked this hotel for a family of five, it's a budget hotel, which does exactly what it's designed for, gave our family a comfortable room for the night in central London at a reasonable price in a good location

No drinkingwater, smelly towels

The 'clean' towels were very smelly. There was no drinking water in the room, and the staff did not draw our attention to this act even though we were with small children. We did not get water, we had to buy it or ourselves, which was difficult.
