Okay and spacious room with friendly staff. Did the job
Reception staff were friendly and efficient, the room was nice and even had a bath. The building is beautiful and the location was super handy, with two tube stations on different lines nearby.
I enjoyed staying your hotel a lot😊 looking forward to coming back. Thank you.

Liked: Amenities
The room was certainly adequate. It was smaller, but met our needs. The walls were very thin and we could hear the people next to us talking, but maybe that’s how it goes with these older hotels. It’s a about a 10 minute walk to Paddington in five minutes to Hyde Park.
The hotel is currently under construction so all amenities are inaccessible such as the bar, breakfast, and coffee station. The construction wasn’t too bothersome noise wise. Aside from the construction, the room itself was lovely and we had a comfortable stay. The location is also great. Just a few streets west is a great neighborhood with lots of shops, cafes, and grocery stores. We particularly loved how close we were to Hyde Park. Would stay again!

Hotel was fine and within 10 minutes walk from Paddington train station.
Was biding for work and room was basic but clean and secure. Staff were friendly. Didn't eat in the hotel.
Would stay again for basic stop over.
