3.0 star ratingNo hot water in tha shower. Staff not very hepful03 November 2008
4.5 star ratingGiven the price it's great value for money04 December 2008
3.5 star ratingThe hotel location is excellent, just steps away from Paddington station and situated on a quiet leafy square. They also have a very strict security policy meaning we have always felt very safe. The entire hotel including our room was very clean and the cleaning of the room was done daily. There is cooked breakfast in the morning, not totally delicious but filling.This is a budget hotel in a good location, which means the room are VERY VERY tiny. A size of a shoebox, literally. And the bathroom is so super miniature we could not believe it. I guess it is fine for a night but for more than one night I would consider spending a bit more money and upgrade to a hotel with rooms of an acceptable size. Seriously, our luggage could not fit into the room (we had one suitcase each)! Another big minus are the stairs - extremely narrow and there is no lift. Our room was on the 4th floor and dragging the luggage up and down the precariously tiny stairs was an ordeal.27 November 2008

4.5 star ratingThe staff are the best thing about this hotel. The breakfast staff are very friendly. At checkin I hadn't printed out my booking slip, which was needed, so he helped me printed it out at reception. One fast easy to use free internet PC mostly unused. There are lots of leaflets about things to do in London and lots of maps on the walls so you can find your around London - so great for tourist. Only a cheap hotel, and very good value. Breakfast was nice, only critism is the bacon was dry and not very tasty. My room (17) could do with a bit of plumming touch up, but only minor stuff - cold tap needed turning off tight to stop it dripping.28 January 2009

4.0 star ratingBreakfast is very good, but scheduled in short period of time. Love the location, and kindness of the staff. Very easy to do check in and out.Room's carpet are dirty, and aren't cleaned every day of stay. By the end of the trip one don't want to walk on them without shoes. The w.c. was even dirtier, and smell like hell. I wiped it with wet babie's towel I brought with me.Good rooms, but a bit dirty09 March 2009
