Ideally suited to arrivals from Paddington, great access to all the sights with underground & bus routes right outside your door. Great variety of good value places to eat on your doorstep and lovely area around the river and park to chill. Rooms were very compact but everything you needed if you are looking for a base to explore London on a budget. Staff were very helpful and amenable providing left luggage facility. Would definitely stay again.

Cheap price...so dont complain if its not 5 star.

Guys at desk were very friendly and helpful. I felt safe there, around corner from the trains, tight next to loads of cafes and 5 mi s to Hyde park. Look what do you expect for 63 sterling a night. Guys said they need to do repairs but they are always booked out. Best do snag list and just do one room at a time. Has potential to be more, they are doing their best.sheets and towels v white and bed was comfy.

Cheap but not cheerful!

Positives - the pillows were comfortable. Thats it! Negatives - I get that this was cheap but still... the mattress was horrific, the room was cold, the carpet was dirty and worst of all I had to hold my nose and breath through my mouth when using the bathroom to prevent myself from being sick from the smell of stagnant water stuck in the drains

At least the heating worked!

We knew beforehand that the rooms were very small, however not being able to open the bathroom door due to room size and furniture is rediculous. The curtain only covered half the window and physically could not be drawn fully across, not very private on a busy road. As for the bed, whilst clean, the mattress was well past it’s usable life and was lifeless on one side to the extent I nearly rolled out of bed. The bathroom was tiny having been built into one corner of the room. The toilet itself did not look secure and safe to sit on! The only plus points were that the staff were polite and the heating worked (although excessively)

Location is the only plus

The bathroom was no bigger than a wardrobe. Very difficult to manoeuvre. The bathroom was also dirty and the tiny basin took forever to drain away the water. Shower was good, with plenty of hot water, but I am a larger lady and it was very difficult to get in and out of the shower as it only had 2 tiny panels on the door. The last place I would want to be trapped. The bedding was clean but the mattress had a slant on it and it was lumpy. Very old inner spring which was horrendous on my back. Definitely won’t return as there are many better places for less money. The location was a real plus as it was very close to the station and lots of places to eat nearby. It also promotes laundry facilities, but it was out of order. Surprise. The two staff members I dealt with, were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel should not be on Hotels.Com's website!!! The room we were given was deplorable! The carpet hadn't been vacuumed, the washroom... well the washroom resembled a truck stop rest room. The shower stall was filthy, there was previously used shower items left inside the shower. The toilet has filthy, had grime and urine stains around the bowl. The sink was filthy, there was hair stuck to the wall next to the sink, from someone who had recently shaved. The room was below such standards, that my wife was almost going to go and buy cleaning supplies to do a thorough clean of the room! The front lobby area of the hotel was nothing like the pictures on the website. The front lobby area was unkempt, untidy and the fridge had only a couple of items in it. Not that we were looking for beverages... but the website shows a nice tidy, clean and fully stocked fridge... not the case! We got into London very late/early in the morning. Could we have asked for a better room, sure we could've. Could we have left the hotel and found a better room, sure we could've. But when you just travelled by train over-night and your exhausted, we just wanted a bed to sleep in and a roof over our heads. Hotels.Com we are really serious... the Norfolk Inn Paddington, London, England, should be removed from your website, its not worthy and its misleading, as well as a filthy hotel. We are seasoned travelers, who have been to many places around the globe... this is the worst hotel yet!
