Ive been backpacking for 3 years now and have stayed in all sorts of place all around the world, and this is not a place I would call a 'hotel'. I stayed here with my Mother for 2 nights and we seriously would have been better off in a hostel. The room was tiny, lighting was terrible, the room was... More

I booked at this hotel before reading the reviews as I was in a hurry. Being rather fussy about cleanliness I was after booking concerned because most of the reviews were negative particularly regarding the state of the rooms and the quality of breakfast. When I arrived at the hotel the staff were very satisfactory and I was given a... More

Location is excellent for sightseeing. Facilities were ok. Bed was comfortable, room was big enough, tea making facilities etc all ok. However, decor very tired and in desperate need of some tLC. The headboard had a rip, there were stains on the wallpaper, the window frame was rotten. The bathroom was very dirty, there was a lot of mould everywhere!!

Quite disappointed to be honest - I stayed here for four nights, but luckily didn't spend much time in the room. There was no bin in the actual room (only one in the bathroom), no mirror in the room (only a small circular mirror in the bathroom) and I had to ask reception for a hairdryer! However, the room itself... More

Disgraceful! The room and bathroom was so small I couldn't fit into it so couldn't wash or wee etc unless we were out of the hotel! Bear in mind I'm only a size 16 (UK) and my husband is a 32" waist!!! Couldn't even fit a bottle of Lucozade in there (see pics).. After asking the Receptionist if we could... More

We had 2 rooms & stayed for 5 days. It was great that we were allowed to keep our big luggages for 3 nights when we were in Paris & half day after we checked out as our flight was at 11pm. Breakfast was basically the same i.e. eggs, bread, juices, coffee & tea. If you come late then too... More

Located in the Paddington area at Sussex gardens. Budget hotel. Tiny rooms and small beds. Has wifi but no in-room safe deposit boxes. Close to Marble Arch, Oxford Street and the serpentine lake for boating enthusiasts. Picadilly circus and the westend of London are a stone throw away. Could be cleaner. Carpets need changing
