I booked this hotel since it was close to Paddington Station. I had a night in London before a flight from Heathrow. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot and a decent pressure. Yes, it is a small room but (a) it's London, what do you expect and (b) it's a huge advantage that... More

This is a no frills hotel which is in a great location just a stone's throw from Bayswater Tube Stattion and close to Paddington Station. I only needed a place to put my head down for an overnight in London and had an excelletn night's sleep. It's in a relatively quiet spot but convenient for many of the London sights... More

This hotel is converted from an old house. There is no elevator to get you up. If you are assigned upper floors, you have to carry your suitcases up the narrow stairs. There is no receptionist after 6:00 pm. You have to go to Phoenix Hotel for check in, for breakfast. No safe to keep your valuables. Double room is... More

This was a nice little no frills hotel in a brilliant location close to Kensington Gardens and several methods of accessable public transport. The small issues I had with this hotel was the fact that there was no lift, the bathroom was very dated and the bed was not very comfortable. But for the price I paid those are trivial... More

Stayed in this hotel for a few days on my first visit to London. I didn't come to the city to see a hotel and spend time in the room so I wasn't expecting or wanting to spend for a 5 star experience. The tube stop wasn't a terribly far walk and getting there was pretty easy from the airport... More

When I arrived the lady at reception was very polite and helpful. When I got to the room it was clean and tidy, the bathroom was immaculate, particularly liked the double shower. In the morning the staff were very polite at breakfast and quick to show you to your table. Selection of food was great. A very pleasant place to... More

This is an older hotel with narrow stairs and small rooms, but the location is wonderful, my single room with bath was clean (if a little overheated...I had to open the window all night) and the staff were tremendously helpful! I think that considering the price it is a great place to stay as long as you realize that if... More

I stayed in a single room on the 3rd floor with a shared toilet (shower was in room). It was hot and I was drinking water like there was no tomorrow and the frequent trips to the bathroom never had me running into anyone else or waiting in the hallway. And they were always clean. Rooms are small, but there's... More
