Lovely central place with excellent and attentive staff and well-thought out rooms
Pros:

Lovely place very central. Staff are very friendly and laid back, feels like a modern “hip” place but for all the right reasons.

Cons:

The decor, the staff, well equipped rooms - we hat the snug so very small but any available space was used well to allow for storing, hanging or placing things.
Shower was lovely!

Pros:

Decor is great, unique hotel stay. My room was very quiet despite being in the city center. Staff was incredibly helpful when I had an unfortunate event happen.

Cons:

While there is an elevator, there are lots of stairs in the hallways, even when you get to your floor...its an old building, so anticipate carrying your luggage up and down some stairs. There was no air conditioning in my room. I arrived at the end of the heat wave so it was tolerable but in the middle of the heatwave it would be very warm.

Pros:

The location is great, close to Paddington station. My husband enjoyed his breakfast. The outdoor dining area was nice.

Cons:

London was experiencing some warm summer weather, the heatwave had passed and the outdoor temperature was around 22 Celsius. However, our room reached temperatures exceeding 27 Celsius. The duty of care of the hotel was poor. A fan circulating thick air did nothing to cool the room. The windows barely opened more than 10cm and no air was able to get in. The bathroom floor felt like underfloor heating was on. Our sleep was significantly disrupted due to the extremely uncomfortable heat of our room. The staff did not offer further fans, a change of room or hire an AC unit to help with the situation., rather calmly explained it was a listed building unable to install AC. The room was so uncomfortable we paid to move to another hotel....strangely a listed building with fabulous AC. DO NOT BOOK HERE DURING SUMMER MONTHS.
We had booked a large room, the room was small. No space to hang clothes. The room was dimly lit, unable to see properly to get ready for the day. I was unable to use the hairdryer as the extra heat would have been unbearable. The cold shower was a great relief.

This hotel could be so much better with a few minor changes.
Pros:

Location good, breakfast good, room clean

Cons:

Unbearably hot. Stayed during a heatwave and the bedrooms and upstairs areas were uncomfortable to be in they were so hot. Hotel provided a fan but this made no difference.
The size of the room is small but the size of the bathroom is unacceptable. The shower entrance is so tight for an average person, as a pregnant person it was almost unusable.
No lift or offer of assistance with bags, no checkout time information in room.
Housekeeping knocked on the room next door and had a loud conversation outside of the room at 6:15am.

Nice hotel but I would not stay there again during the summer heat
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Room did not have air conditioning and only window opened 2inches so with it being a hot day in London the room was sweltering.

Vaati sitkeyttä ja hyvää kuntoa jotta jaksoi nuo neljä yötä taistella kuumuutta vastaan.
Pros:

Aamiainen tarjoiltiin pöytiin ja sait valita muutamasta vaihtoehdosta. Se oli riittävä, terveellinen. Keittiön väki onnistui hyvin. Huone siivottiin joka päivä ja pyyhkeet vaihdettiin.
Sijainti oli erinomainen aivan Paddingtonin juna ja metroaseman lähellä.

Cons:

Hotelli oli vanhassa rakennuksessa jossa on tosi kapeat käytävät jotka kiemurtelevat epäloogisesti. Pettymys oli suuri kun huoneissa ei ollut minkäänlaista ilmastointia, etenkin kun Lontoossa oli ennätyshelteet, ainoastaan sähköinen tuuletin. Ei lapsiperheille eikä liikuntarajoitteisille.

Aucun confort pour un prix exorbitant
Pros:

La situation de l'hotel

Cons:

Très très cher pour ce que c'est. Une minuscule chambre avec 2 cintres pour tout rangement. Une chambre non climatisée ou il faisait une chaleur étouffante. Une salle de bain sans même une petite tablette pour mettre les trousses de toilettes qui ont été par terre tout le séjour et que dire de la douche avec pour toute pression un minuscule filet d'eau qui ne permettait même pas de se laver les cheveux. Nous l'avons signalé mais rien n'a été fait. A 250 euros la nuit on s'attend a mieux!!!!!

Perfect place to stay in London!
Pros:

Lovely hotel, great location, nice cafe with a balcony facing the street and a coffee bar downstairs. Nice interior design and a unique style, nice touches such as magazines in the room.

Cons:

We knew the room was small, it was cozy though slightly uncomfortable because of the size. We also would have loved to have more of a view.

Rooms really could be doing with air con
Pros:

Great location, close to tube and very clean

Cons:

Absolutely unbearable rooms in the heat wave. Our room was at the front street and the sun shone in the window all day. There was no air con. We had to stay out of the room as much as we could as it wasn’t bearable to sit in it even at night.
