Cons:

79 trappsteg från receptionen till rummet på 4:e etaget kanske funkar för yngre personer. Men lite äldre med lite tyngre väskor är det väl många.

Preis-Leistung für London ok. Nichts für Komfortsuchende und "Große" (Körpergröße)
Pros:

Lage sehr gut. Preis-Leistung für London ok. Bad gut und sauber. Frühstück war nicht üppig, aber völlig ausreichend. Wir waren neun Tage. Das Frühstückspersonal war sehr freundlich und hat seine Sache sehr gut gemacht.

Cons:

Zimmer sehr klein. (aber ist ja für London bekannt). Minimale Ausstattung. Hotelpersonal (außer Frühstück) sehr unpersönlich und überhaupt nicht kontaktfreudig. Neun Tage kein Wort.

Spoko na krótkie wypady. Słychaćmetro, ale blisko metra :)
Pros:

Spełnił nasze oczekiwania. Wszystko było ok. Świetna lokalizacja, dobra komunikacja. Świetny stosunek jakości do ceny. W pobliżu metro, hol z jedzeniem, restauracje i sklepy. Śniadanie tosty, szynka, ser, platki i jajecznica oraz fasolka.

Cons:

Słychać metro - przejeżdżające pociągi. Ciasnawo.

Pros:

Good beds, good location for padimgton centre, bars restaurants and near our conference hotel - royal lancaster

Cons:

3rd floor around 6 flights of stairs with a heavy case was difficult. Breakfast was mainly cake, in a dismal basement, felt uncomfortable. Shower had no pressure and toilet had drsins smell however the room was very clean and quiet.

Gerne wieder wegen sehr guter Lage (etc.) !
Pros:

Die Lage (Paddington Station mit Tube-Lines, vielen Bussen, Elizabeth Line(direkt nach Heathrow) und Heathrow Express).
Zimmer im Erdgeschoss (kein Gepäck-Schleppen wie beim 1.Aufenthalt).
Freundliches Personal. Unkomplizierte Gepäckaufbewahrung. Frische Waffeln beim Frühstück.

Cons:

Zimmer (London-typisch) eng. Zeitweise Lärmbelästigung durch Schulgruppen in Flur und Nachbarzimmern. Frühstücks-Auswahl etwas gering (baisc).
