You get what you pay for, but we would definitely return
Pros:

Great location few minutes walk from Paddington station. Cute little continental breakfast to tide you over for a few hours. Very friendly staff.

Cons:

Carpet has seen better days, would not walk barefoot on it. The bathroom was a surprise, like stepping into a caravan but it was clean and served its purpose.

Puistokatu hyvä sijainti
Pros:

Hotelli oli rauhallisella puistokadulla ja ulkoapäin perinteisen nätti. Aamupalalla tarpeelliset perussyötävät.

Cons:

Olimme tilanneet etukäteen yhden gluteenittoman aamiaisen ja muistutimme siitä saapuessamme. Aamulla gluteenitonta leipää ei ollutkaan. Jonkun piti kipaista kauppaan. Huone oli kuuma. Sänky oli pistorasian edessä, mutta tarvitsin sitä välttämättä CPAP-laitetta varten. Vastaanotin mies olisi voinut olla ystävällisempi

Pros:

La ubicación es ideal. Estaba todo muy limpio y las camas eran muy cómodas. El personal del hotel muy amable y simpático. El desayuno aunque es algo justo es muy suficiente para empezar el día. Cuando vuelva a Londres sin duda volvería aquí.

Cons:

La única pega es que no tiene ascensor y si vas con personas mayores les cuesta un poco subir y bajar

Great choice price vs location
Pros:

The hotel is in a very good location, in a calm and safe neighborhood with several pubs close to the property and very near the Paddington metro station. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily.

The double room was of a slightly higher standard, quite spacious, with a classic bathroom. The four-person room had a lower standard – the shower was extremely small, which made it difficult to shower comfortably, and the beds were squeezed tightly into the room.

The staff were friendly and helpful.


Despite these small inconvenientes, with breakfast reservation we did not know about and socket issue which caused fuses turn down, I would still recommend the hotel because the price compared to the location is very good.

Cons:

However, a big downside was the breakfast system. At the time of our booking there was no information that breakfast slots had to be reserved in advance and that you cannot simply come to breakfast. On the day of arrival we were told that almost all slots were already booked and that our whole group would not be able to have breakfast together. Fortunately the situation was eventually resolved in our favor, but this information should definitely be included in the description. We actually chose this hotel mainly because breakfast was included, so if we had not been able to have it we would have been very disappointed.

Another small downside was the issue with the power adapter, which repeatedly caused the circuit breaker in the room to trip. We were using a high-quality adapter that we had already used in other countries (for example Malta), so we know the problem was not on our side. Unfortunately we were told by the staff that we could not use it, even though the issue seemed to be related to the sockets in the room.

Also bathroom in four person room was small, and not clean at all
