Liked: Staff & service
Fantastic location, basic cleanliness just like an average house, plenty of shops and transport, helpful and friendly staff.
Staff on reception was nice a friendly. Room had no blind which is a big issue for me and the TV didnt have a signal so is useless. Toilet sink and shower looked clean but hairs all over the sheets and floor. Its cheap and you get what you pay for i guess
Hair all over the room, the toilet had not been cleaned it was filthy, the room had a damp odour. Basically one of the worst places I have ever stayed!!
5 minute walk from Paddington. Pretty bad, like maybe they run some illegal business and the hotel is a front. Worst bed I've ever slept on. But it had a good shower in the room and many London hotels have only shared bathrooms. I saved 40 dollars and I'm still doubting that that was worth it. But the shower was nice.
Not worth the money in which they charge! Room was very small and very dated! For what we needed the only good thing was its location

Good location. No staff was present when I arrived to check in. Room was in fine condition. Garbage was left behind the bed, inbetween the bed and the window. No toilet paper or hand soap in the bathroom.

Disliked: Amenities
The room had a window to a dirty and ugly space that had a window!? No ventilation in the room. Old and very worn bed linens. The hotel has no breakfast room which is a pity however this I knew when booking. Many problems with leaking water, electricity been cut of etc. mainly due to renovation work one floor up. No soap in the shower room other than one little bag enough for one washing of hands. Nothing for the shower.
Absolutely wonderful! Situated in a beautiful, great location, near transportation, numerous dining options. My favorite aspect of it is that it’s near Hyde park!
