Great hotel and great service. Hotel isn’t modern but full of character! Lacks food service after breakfast which would have beneficial for me.
Five minutes from Tube so excellent location
Will definitely stay again.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we reported our TV wasn't working, they came quickly to see the problem, tried to sort it while we were out in the evening and when they couldn't, offered us another room and a free breakfast as compensation. I thought this was excellent customer service.
The only downside of our room was that it was an adjoining room (for families to share two rooms together). Unfortunately that meant that the shared door was quite thin and the two young men next door were quite talkative so that at 12.30am I had to say we were trying to get to sleep!
Outside was definitely older than the pristine white portrayed in the picture.
If you need to be in the area this is a good location.
Breakfast ( £10 Continental was good)
Corridors a bit creeky (which you notice in your room)
Fabulous location, close to Lancaster Gate tube and 15 mins from Paddington tube station. Across the road to the beautiful Kensington Gardens.
Room was very clean, bed was comfortable and great shower with super water pressure.
The staff were super friendly. I had some lovely chats with some of the women cleaning the rooms. I felt very welcome.
Like the website says, no mod cons.. but everything I needed for a great affordable stay in London.
If you're in the area for visiting or business, this place is perfect. Nice room with everything you need.
If you wish to visit London, no. No shops or places to see except close to the train back to the airport. Everything else is at least a half hour away.

A very functional hotel at a good price, its was all you coukd expect. The bed was comfy, room was spacious. Could all do with a bit of a facelift (and fixing the creaky floors).
Well located hotel in atmospheric building. Decor a bit tired. They were filming a TV series (apparently the hotel is often used for shoots) and it was quite annoying as a paying guest to be shunted around and have to go in and out of back entrances rather than use the main entrance. We were not i
