Elevators were extremely slow, which is a problem since even the lobby is one floor up from the ground level. The room was acceptable, but could be cleaner. Overall, the room and hallways look due for a facelift. Benefit is the hotel is walking distance to parks, Portobello and Oxford shopping and Paddington station

The shower over the bath in this property is DANGEROUS! The shower is at the end of the bath which is sonarrow you can hardly stand with your feet together. There is no shower curtain, NO GRAB RAIL & the hinged glass panel allows water to leak all over the floor. A slight slip and you’re GONE!

Initial room was unacceptable. Old battered furniture & stained carpet. Not as advertised. Elisha very helpful in providing us with a different & updated room. She wanted to make sure we were satisfied. Only complaint about the room was the shower in the tub. Always had a fllood on the floor when finished as plastic panel door not long enough.
