Convenient, clean and quiet.
This is the best buy hotel in London that I know of. The neighbourhood is not the best, but it is close to Paddington stn and many transit options. I keep returning because it is reliable and I have more money left over for theatre etc. My single room was at the top and not cramped. The lift rattled a bit, but it worked.

Basement-level room
I was disappointed that the room was in basement-level. There was very little natural light in the room, because there was a wall right outside of the windows.
Also, the bathroom was tiny.
But the beds were clean, and loads of channels on the tv.

Helpful and and well situated
Our state was excellent! We appreciate it the staff so much! They were able to accommodate all of our needs and wishes happily and beyond. The room was small but adequate for our family. However it was perfect for a weekend in London. It is well situated close to the Paddington tube station. Very easy to get on the circle line and explore London. I would recommend it highly to anyone wanting to stay in the city! Thank you

Great location near Paddington Station. Quiet area. Superb pub nearby (Victoria). Room was small for 5 adults. Otherwise very correct. Would recommend but confirm room sizes are appropriate for your party.

While vacationing in UK 🇬🇧 I surprised my wife and our daughters a day trip and stay over in Amsterdam for her 50th Birthday. I’m very surprised this hotel has apartment size room called (Amstel) it’s a family room that can accommodate up to 6 people, having your own garden view and access to backyard. Heated floors, 2 huge bathrooms and a kitchen dining table with sink. The staff are very helpful and the hotel served breakfast with a fee. Shopping and public park are very close to hotel. Definitely will come back in the future trip to Amsterdam.

Lovely hotel, a solid 3 star property. Staff were friendly and the location itself was very good. Very close to Paddington station and just around the corner from lots of shops, food places etc. The family room we stayed in was small and basic but, to be fair, it was as expected. I would stay in this hotel again.

We enjoyed the fact that so many places, including Paddington Station, were easily accessible.
Our room was clean and a fan was provided for the hot weather. All the staff at reception went out of their way to be helpful. They made our stay enjoyable. Thank you.
