Good place to stay in an excellent location
Simple, no frills hotel in an excellent location for exploring London and near the tube. We walked to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens going to Buckingham Palace and Kensington Gardens. Easy to get the tube into central London and with one change to the O2. Very nice and helpful hotel staff. Stayed in a clean and spacious basement room after asking to be moved from a fifth floor room, due to the many stairs and no lift which I struggled with being a pensioner! Great shower. Can hear the rumble of trains, but was not a problem as was out most of the time. Staff did inform us if we moved rooms it would be noisier. Simple breakfast included in the price of toast, cereal, cheese etc which was all I needed. Can pay a few pounds extra for a cooked breakfast if needed.

Great location for Paddington Station and staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean. Decor was as you’d expect from a budget hotel of this era- needs some work. Negatives are - you can feel the rumble of the tube trains, our bathroom door was soooo squeaky that you woke everyone else if you went in the night and I had an ice cold shower one morning as the hit just completely stopped working.

Great location for a quick stay
Fabulous and convenient location! 1-5 minutes walk from tube, 3-7 minutes walk from eateries, souvenir store right around the corner. But: it's an old building, which means great from hstoric point of view, but zero sound-proof. It's also located right above the tube line, so get ready for some shaking (which stops around 11pm). Bed was clean and tidy, shower worked perfectly, so I would def.recommend it for quick 1-night stay when you need only to drop your bags and your body :)

Does the job
Cheap and cheerful for overnight stay, would definitely use again. Stairs were a bit of a pain but you get what you pay for I suppose
