Overall, we liked this hotel! The rooms clean and had some upgrades. The neighborhood is gorgeous. There are no shops and restaurants on this street, but only about a 4 min walk away, which is perfect because it kept our room quiet. The staff was all incredible. They were attentive and extremely friendly. However, there were some misses for us- the rooms are so small that you almost can’t pass the bed to get to the bathroom. Our room was extremely hot at night (we visited in August) but I know as an American, we have different temperature preferences :). The breakfast was ok! We were able to make it work and get the kids fed, but they have only a few options. We selected this hotel for part of our London trip due to its proximity to Paddington station and that was great! Overall, I’d recommend it, but possibly not for families that want a little more space :)

Disliked: Amenities
The welcoming was ok. The elevator super tiny, and the slowest I’ve ever been in. . I booked a room for 2 even though it was only me. I don’t know why they advertise it like it’s for 2 while I could barely fit myself, and I am petite. No variety on the breakfast. If you don’t mind eating the same on a seven days stay then it’s ok. However, the Alina, the housekeeper and Namita at front desk made my stay more bearable. They were very nice and helpful.

The hotel was easily accessible by multiple bus routes and three Tube stations, including a 10-minute walk to the Elizabeth Line that takes you to Heathrow Airport. A wide selection of restaurants was two blocks over on Queensway. Also, it is within walking distance of several places of interest, including Kensington Palace, Notting Hill, and Portobello Road to name a few. The front desk staff were very friendly, offering weather tips and directions. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast options. Previous reviews had indicated room and elevator size (fits two people each with a carry-on), so we were not put off. Any quirks that we saw were probably due to the conversion of the building from a private home to a hotel. There was no central air in our room; however, there was a portable a/c unit that worked fine. Although the room was small compared to a US standard room, it was packed with all the amenities: a safe, hair dryer, mini fridge, an electric kettle, and all the complimentary hot drink condiments. If you are not a fussy traveler and looking for a clean and conveniently located place to stay while in London, then it is ideal.

Overall I’m 50/50 satisfied with my stay. Location of hotel is good as it’s accessible to 2 tube stations & many eateries. Breakfast was good & staff were helpful. The room however was very small especially the toilet shower cubicle (could barely move around). The air conditioning system wasn’t working properly so room felt stuffy. A permanent opening below the window brought in hot air & traffic noise from outside. Carpet is old.

Above Expectations
This hotel went above and beyond to see that our requests were met and that we had a comfortable room. Going above the expectations on many levels. We changed our hotel from a flagship brand at the last minute to this hotel. It did not disappoint. We are a family of five and the rooms were comfortable for all of us.
