I chose this accomodation because it was ideal for our morning flight at the end of the trip. The location is a stone's throw from the Underground & Rail stations at Paddington and it was fairly affordable for London. I did not want to waste our last night at an airport hotel. It works perfectly for this purpose: rail and... More

yes, the rooms are small but the service is friendly, and when I left my wallet on the counter when checking out, they put it in the safe and, when I called, they offered to trade it for the room key which I accidentally took! We'll be back next week, and I'm looking forward to it.

What can I say? The hotel is old, the rooms are very small, but with a great view of the gardens. Bathroom, what bathroom. What we had for a bathroom, was a portable potty with a sink and a very small shower. It was a portable unit that had been installed in the room and you have to step up... More

We had a wonderful experience at this property. First, it's ideally located. It's a 3 minute walk from Paddington Station, on a quiet green and in an area with a wide variety of lovely restaurants. Second, we found the staff to be very helpful and courteous. We didn't pay for the in-room internet so hung out in the lobby where... More

Might have been unlucky, but had unpleasant smell in room which could not be cleared by airing the room. Bedroom doors close loudly which was somewhat disturbing. Also street noise unexpectedly amplified by the high terracing opposite. Co-owner smoking outside the hotel didn't create an inviting impression. Near Paddington station.

It is now getting towards the end of May. The weather is still very cold in London. The room itself is ok, decent size except for the bathroom is really small. There are not hair dryer and kettles in the room, which I think is quite normal in London for a budget hotel. But what really makes me angry is... More

Wanted to find a hotel that would accommodate a family of five, and believe me there are not that many I could find in London in one room. Stayed here for two nights and it was perfect. Very friendly staff, great breakfast, very welcoming indeed. Very close to Paddington station, Hyde Park and the bus tour from the end of... More

Our stay at St. David's was ideal. The location to public transportation couldn't be better. Situated our a quiet dead end street kept outside noise to a minimum. Rooms are compact but do the job. A nice breakfast is provided and the staff were extremely helpful.
