Advertised as free wifi, but no connection at all, not even at the lobby. Really nice rooms, no breakfast room, and overall low value for money. Staff really friendly, but to no avail- More

Stayed one night at this hotel earlier this week. Hotel lobby and communal areas are a little dated and shabby. Expected my room to be likewise but was pleasantly surprised. Lower floor rooms all seem to have been recently updated. Work is continuing elsewhere in the hotel to bring all rooms and communal areas up to date. The only disappointment... More

I know you get what you pay for, but this was a bit like a cheap, shabby boarding house or hostel. The hotel would benefit by a total revamp and have a few decent sized, clean, well decorated rooms, rather than the many, small, dirty, shabby rooms they have now. The staff were OK, but the reception area just looked... More

The hotel is situated near Paddington Station, from here in a few minutes you can get to the famous tourist attractions of London. Within 20 minutes walk there is the shopping centre of London - Oxford Street. I don’t recommend the hotel in general, but specially anyone who are allergic to dust. Everything was covered in dust. The hotel staff... More

Positives- Toilet, wash basin (no plug) and shower reasonably clean. Bathroom area very small, shower head bracket wobbly but showered ok. Clean towels and bath mat which came in very handy. Bad points- Big sash window would only stay wide open or shut, curtains very dirty and bad fit. Carpet so dirty I did not want to take my shoes... More

I booked this hotel through another site, which had four reviews all stating that although it wasn't great they would return. This site said that it had been recently extensively renovated so was hoping they'd bucked up their ideas and put a bit of money into the place. How wrong I was!!!!!!! On arriving we had to wait a few... More

I recently stayed at this hotel with my friend as we were looking for somewhere cheap in a good location. Having read some of the reviews I was a bit worried of what to expect. It's not the cleanest and could definitely do with refurbishment. The location is great-right beside paddington station which serves several underground routes. The room was... More
