| Rated 3.6 out of 5: friendly staff at the desk, very helpful and cheerful. gave tips and pointers for our visit. Rated 4.5 out of 5: The room was fine - clean, tidy and a good price...but...it was the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in, even for London this was tiny! I had to shimmy sideways to get past the basin to get to the loo. That said, it was a single room I had booked so maybe I should have expected it to be this small. Rated 4 out of 5: We stayed for 8 nights at this hotel and stayed in a Club Room on the ground floor. The room was nice with a large TV, microwave, kettle but no fridge. The bathroom is very small (only 1 person at a time!) but the shower was nice and powerful. The room was kept very clean every day. The only fault I had with the hotel was the music from reception which we could hear in our bedroom. We had to call once if not twice a day to reception in the mornings (from 8am) and at night (11pm onwards) to ask them to turn it down. This we had to do everyday and got a little frustrating when you are trying to sleep. The receptionist always obliged and turned it down, but why did we have to call everyday to ask this of them. The reception is nice and bright and the staff are helpful. It has a great location and only 5 minutes to walk to either Paddington Station or Edgware Road station. A guest gave the hotel 4 out of 5 saying: I was basically after a four-star hotel at three-star prices and I was pleasantly surprised. The location is great as it very quiet at night, but very close to Paddington station and 2 minutes from Hyde Park. The rooms are indeed quite small (this is why the prices are extremely competitive) but they are very homely and the en-suite and air-con system was very good for the size of room. I would certainly advise going for the largest room you can afford. The breakfast room in the basement is best described as 'functional', and not in keeping with the atmosphere and decor of the hotel, and this is the major downside. There is also no bar in the hotel, but there is a pub over the road and lots of small bars within a stones throw. The staff were all very helpful and courteous. The hotel was spotless compared to some of the major chain hotels that I have resided at in recent weeks. If the breakfast was in keeping with the rest of the hotel facility I would have no hesitation in saying that this hotel was excellent. Even so, this should not put a prospective traveler using the hotel as overall, my experience was great, and the hotel is clearly worthy of the 3-4* rating. Liked: Quietness of the room/privacy, Disliked: Lighting in the room could be better, & there were no complementary biscuits! |
