This is a nice little hotel, conveniently walking distance from Paddington, so if you come from Heathrow via the Heathrow Express, you can just walk to it and stay there. The breakfast is substantial. There was some repair work going on when we arrived so it wasn't very quiet, but overall it was good. Very comfortable bed and nice bathroom/shower.
