This hotel is conveniently located near Paddington station and close to other walkable areas and parks. The room was clean and well kept. The size of the room is extremely small, in the limit of being non functional. If staying with family think twice

Great location near Paddington Station. Quiet area. Superb pub nearby (Victoria). Room was small for 5 adults. Otherwise very correct. Would recommend but confirm room sizes are appropriate for your party.

While vacationing in UK 🇬🇧 I surprised my wife and our daughters a day trip and stay over in Amsterdam for her 50th Birthday. I’m very surprised this hotel has apartment size room called (Amstel) it’s a family room that can accommodate up to 6 people, having your own garden view and access to backyard. Heated floors, 2 huge bathrooms and a kitchen dining table with sink. The staff are very helpful and the hotel served breakfast with a fee. Shopping and public park are very close to hotel. Definitely will come back in the future trip to Amsterdam.

Lovely hotel, a solid 3 star property. Staff were friendly and the location itself was very good. Very close to Paddington station and just around the corner from lots of shops, food places etc. The family room we stayed in was small and basic but, to be fair, it was as expected. I would stay in this hotel again.

We enjoyed the fact that so many places, including Paddington Station, were easily accessible. Our room was clean and a fan was provided for the hot weather. All the staff at reception went out of their way to be helpful. They made our stay enjoyable. Thank you.

Small overpriced room
Basic room annd over priced. Only saving grace was that the staff was courteous but could not justify the price charged for a tiny room, no ac, very few amenities. Coffee cups had residue.

Checked out today from a two night stay in a family room. Our "room" is really a long closet with no windows - seriously not a single window but rather just a skylight. I am not sure how this is even legal. One of the beds is a cot with a metal knob we keep hitting our shins on because it's against the wall in the middle of the room. The linens and towels smell musty, but we haven't asked for a replacement because other reviews indicate the same. I don't usually leave reviews but I'm puzzled by how this was so highly rated for the price and hope to help others avoid the same mistake. We paid $900 for 2 nights, which is about $700 more than I would expect for accommodations like this. The location is fantastic (close to Hyde Park, Paddington Station, and some great restaurants) and check in was easy, but otherwise I'd never stay here again.

We arrived late at night and had to wait on reception, as there was a sign that they would be back in a few minutes. Our room for 3 was cozy and bathroom small, however it worked for us. The beds were comfortable. We were in a room under the reception area, so we heard footsteps and rolling luggage in the early morning or during the evening with guests coming and going. We didn’t have breakfast but the dining area was clean and quaint. We enjoyed the convenient location and walk ability.

Great location, staff is very accomodating, convenient breakfast and overall a good value. Everything is very clean and a good room to accomodate a family of 5. The only down side was the lack of air conditioning in the room.

You have to book parking separately, they only have 3-4 spaces available and may not be able to accommodate you if you do not let them know in advance that you need parking. The hotel was lovely, very clean and super convenient. Paddington Station is a quick walk away and the bus tour lines all have stops nearby as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting London!

It's not bad. Stayed there on a hot day and the room never really cooled off all night. A fire alarm or something similar went off at 3:30am, which didn't make for a good night's sleep. Excellent location if you want to be near Paddington Station for a quick train to Heathrow.
