I booked this as a Deal of the Day on Booking.com and found that my confidence in the booking site was misplaced. My daughter had booked tickets for 2 shows as a birthday treat for me.The area around Paddington seemed a good location BUT: The pictures of the interior on the website were nothing like the real interior. The breakfast... More

We checked the reviews on this hotel after we had booked so arrived feeling rather anxious as to where we were staying. I am pleased to say we were pleasantly surprised & relieved. we had a twin room on the top floor. The room was spacious & clean. Bedding was clean & the beds very comfortable, The en-suite was small... More

Booked a triple room - given a tiny double room with 3 single beds, all pushed together to make one big bed. No floor space left for 3 people to move about. No mirror in bedroom, no plug near bathroom mirror to use hairdryer. Fan and main light in bathroom not working. Moved beds to try and create a walkway... More

Stayed in the twin room. It wasn't big but quite spacious. Best thing is the location. Walking distance to Oxford st and also the nearby bus servics nearby takes you to all the interesting places. More

My partner (now fiancee after our trip to London) booked us in advance to go to the Royal Cambridge- great location after getting the train and arriving in Paddington Station. The Pros end there. We were given our key to room 4- down in the basement- rooms were tired and worn- no room to swing a goldfish with only one... More

Room we were in had the following issues: 1) Only one plug socket 2) Tiniest double room - could barely walk in it yourself alone with the bed pushed against the walls 3) Flimsy sheet to cover giant menstrual (ewww) stain on the mattress 4)...

Run, don't walk, away from this hotel! Our room was so small we could barely turn around in it. It was not clean and smelled badly. The bathroom was horrible!! Turning a light switch on caused a fuse to blow and resulted in no electricity. When we asked for a different room we were told there was only one other... More

Small, cramped room. Double bed next to wall, had to climb over person on the outside to get out of bed. No clock or bedside light. Small table at bottom of bed ( not a good position for it) with hostess tray on it, only coffee, tea, sugar and milk. Once used we had to ask for more as it... More

I stayed there with my mum, going for a night out in london. There was male genitalia graffiti-ed on the walls near the lifts, the bathroom was mouldy, dirty and generally rather grim. Halfway through my shower I got shouted at by hotel staff to get out, as I was flooding the room below mine. The bed headboards were stained... More
