Pros:

何回か利用させてもらっています．ロケーションが良いのは周りのホテルと同じですが，スタッフが親切なのと，気軽さで選んでます．今回はシングルでちょっと狭い部屋でしたが，狭いながらもシャワーとトイレがついていて，普段よりも暑かったこともありとても助かりました．WiFiも十分な速度，部屋は清潔．値段も安い．朝食も十分な量とおいしさです．

Cons:

共用でいいので電子レンジがあるとうれしい（単に気がついてないだけかも）

Not my favourite stay. Location was good but hotel itself in need of much refurbishment
Pros:

The room was poorly furnished and extremely hot. There was no fan and we completely baked in it! There was no one around to serve any drinks in the evening. It was very old fashioned. Sadly won't be staying there again and quite expensive for the experience.

Cons:

Facilities, room comfort, lack of air conditioning or even a fan.

Okay til prisen
Pros:

Beliggenheden var fantastisk. Rene værelser og mega lækkert med daglig skift af sengetøj og håndklæder.

Cons:

Værelset var meget lille til 5 mennesker. Vi havde fået et værelse på 3. Sal og det var kogende varmt og umuligt at få luftet ud.

Sans plus
Pros:

l'Hôtel est proche de la station de métro/gare de Paddington

Cons:

L'Hôtel et équipements ont urgemment besoin d'une rénovation. Il n'y avait qu'une prise électrique qui fonctionnait à moitié dans une chambre à 4. Le lit supperposé était en très mauvais état...

Great location but expected more for the price
Pros:

Great location five minutes from Paddington station. Good that they have ground floor rooms too. Bed was fairly comfortable and there was an extra pillow

Cons:

Room was very small and a bit shabby, bed had barely any space around it to get in and out. Pillows were a bit flat and only two in a double bed. Bathroom was very dated and there was no cold water, the tap ran hot which ever way you turned it. No fan!!
