Let the tube put you to sleep in this sparkling clean place
Pros:

This hotel is a super bargain, not fancy but perfectly nice and almost across from Paddington Station and Heathrow Express for quick in and out to LHR. Staff was nice and very helpful. Yes, you will hear the tube rolling under the building but it rock you to sleep.

Cons:

Nothing..rooms could be criticized as small but who needs more?

Great stay, recommended if you’re ok with a bit of noise from the Tube.
Pros:

Great staff and location. Comfortable room.

Cons:

There is some noise from the Tube but the hotel is upfront about that. Don’t book if some noise is going to be an issue for you.

Lovely! We'll definitely be back.
Pros:

Such a charming, comfortable hotel located on a perfect spot! Our view was on the little park in front and the underground was only a 5 minute walk away. There's plenty of restaurant options in the area.

Cons:

The room and bathroom is quite small but we didn't mind because we spent our days outside anyway. But it's something to take into consideration if it does bother you.

Safe compared with a shared room at a hostel. Didn’t stay to sleep as I didn’t feel safe in the room.
Pros:

Welcome, staff and initial location.
Clean room.

Cons:

Photos and description weren’t reflective of the property. The single room was on 4th floor up a very narrow staircase, everything from one room to the next could be heard- people arguing and doors rattling. Tube is not just audible, the vibration goes through the room. This didn’t feel like a safe place to stay or sleep for a lone female traveller. I found another hotel online and checked out immediately

Pros:

I had a really nice stay here as a solo traveller. The hotel has been renovated to a high standard, design is chic and modern. Location is super convenient and the deal I got on my double room with a private bathroom was incredible value. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely come back.

Cons:

It's right next to Paddington, so there is some low rumbling from the trains, but it didn't bother me as I enjoy ambient noise at night. There is just one basic Yale lock on the bedroom door.
