Great budget hotel for our first night in London, family of 3. Clean sheets, comfy beds, hot showers, kettle in the room with tea/coffee and nice staff. Easily accessible from Paddington Station. Very small room and bathroom but manageable considering the price. They also allowed us to stow our luggage at no cost since we arrived from the US early in the day.

Excellent stay

We stayed for 3 days. Excellent service! Very friendly staff. Super convenient to many places we wanted to see. Thankfully, we were able to walk because there was a stroke going on for the trains and tube which caused grid lock. Definitely would stay there again

The only good things: price and location. Everything else is trash. Unfriendly and unhelpful reception staff, super noisy, old and stuffy. Dirty walls and sheets. You get what you pay for, put another $50 down and don’t go though this if you don’t need.

Near the hub station, but quiet and nice

My single room had everything I needed, e.g. many electric outlets, kettle, coffee, hot shower, fan, and nice street view from the window. Less than five minutes from Paddington Station, which was very convenient. It was not a problem for me, but the staircase with no lift may affect those who with large suitcases.
