Location was good and reception also great. Unfortunately the room was having some heating issues so I had to sleep with the window open. Luckily I always travel with earplugs otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep for long time due to the noise on the street. I stayed for one night so was still good for what I needed and the price paid.

Clean room, good location.

It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.

You get what you pay for. I paid for a cheap hotel and got one. The bathroom was so small you could barely stand in it. The drain wasn’t working and I had to call twice for it to get fixed. The hotel room key had to be replaced every time I came back (and yes I kept it away from my phone). And then one time I waited at the front desk which had a “Back in 15 minutes” sign for nearly a half hour. But for the price I paid, could I really have expected much better?

The room was very narrow for two beds; you could barely walk in it. The shower wasn't very clean, and it was difficult to open the window because it was very old. Otherwise, we got the bare minimum for the price.

I booked 2 x deluxe rooms. In my wildest dreams i could not imagine how they could describe our rooms as deluxe. The one I actually stayed in was more of a small box room. There was 2 bath towels provided for 2 of us but no hand towels. . The TV did not work in either room and we pointed this out to receptionist who said he would sort it out (he didn't). There was 1 teabag, 2 coffee bags and no spoons and this was just put on bedside shelf loose (no presentation). Black mould along the lower part of wall where radiater was.window only opened about 2-3 inches and no fan or aircon so quite hot in the room. Think the bed needed replacing as it creaked and groaned every time you moved so no definately not a deluxe room. Would I stay there again, probably not.

Room simply wasn’t clean. The bedding was fine, but debris and loads of dust under and around the beds. Shower very moldy. Front desk was very friendly, good location, but £80 still felt like too much. Very very small rooms. No tv remote so no TV.

Not as bad as previous reviews had. It’s a budget hotel. The room was tiny. The corridors and doors were tiny. You get nothing if you don’t ask for it, ie clean towels and tea and sugar. But otherwise it’s cheap and close to town.

Don’t book it unless you have to, you can’t use the toilet without hitting the sink or you have to let the door open , also the shower is tight you can’t even clean your body properly. The bed wasn’t clean as well as the pillow have stains and hair. The location was good , it’s close to paddington station
