Great location for the price. Very clean.

The bathroom and beds were incredibly small. My husband and I are not big people, but the bathroom was too small for any comfort. Beds were saggy and small.

Would Not Stay Again

After any number of trips to Europe in general and London specifically, I have to say this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed. We arrived on May31, 2012 and stayed until June 4, 2012. First, when checking in I was told I owed them the credit card fee of 3% charged by my credit card company. When I complained they said it was in the fine print in my reservation. Upon going to my room I found I had no air conditioning. They sent someone to fix it but was unsuccessful. I was told they were getting an outside company and it would be fixed shortly. Bottom line is that the enitre third floor had no air for the four days I was there. They did offer to move me to another room after two days but we declined. Also, they told me I was the only one complaining but while riding up on the elevator, I found this was a blatant lie. Also, I have never styed in a room that had no hand towel, no face towels and no kleenex in the bathroom. The hotel was not that clean and "continental Breakfast" was inedible.

This hotel is in a great location! Close to two undergrounds. The small doubles are small rooms but comfortable for a 3/4 day visit as you will spend most of your time out and about sight seeing. If I was going back to London I would stay here again definitely!

Weekend stop in London

We checked in late and got the ground floor room. It was quite loud as the stairs to go for breakfast, main entrance and the luggage room was just outside! We were very tired and slept soundly, but some people may have a problem. Otherwise everything was fine, handy location and clean - very small though. I would stay again.

Great location for Paddington

We stayed for 1 night to after returning from holiday. The location was great as it was close to Paddington and there were many shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly enough. The hotel room was exactly what I had booked (garden view) and was as pictured on the internet. TV, toiletries and tea/coffee in room. Very comfortable and in a quiet area. Breakfast was continental for an extra £6pp, but we went out to a cafe in the area as there were many choices. Would return again.

OK Stay

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. The location is excellent since it is quite close to the Bayswater underground station, and there are also lots and lots of shops/restaurants close by. The hotel is also in a little nook, so the location itself is free from any noise. While Hyde Park is within walking distance, most of the attractions are to the south or east, so it can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes to get to them by underground. The room itself is very small, especially the bathroom, so much so that my pregnant wife felt suffocated at times. Unfortunately, this seems to be typical of london hotels in this price range. At least, it was quite clean. The TV was also tiny and worse, carried only four channels. And there is free internet access in the lobby, but only paid service in the rooms. I ended up taking my laptop down to the lobby a few times, which was a bit inconvenient. The staff was generally helpful and courteous. The breakfast at the hotel has very limited options (especially if you are vegetarian like us) and was not worth it for us. Overall, recommended only for budget travelers who don't mind the cramped space.
