Another great stay in a good location.
Pros:

I am a regular here. I got the usual cheerful helpful staff, a great room and good food

Cons:

I am partially sighted so the fashionable low level lighting in the room is uncomfortable. (Probably fine for normal people)

A spacious clean apartment in perfect location for our overnight stay. Great hosts, recommend!

Host very accomodating with luggage and ensuring we had all we needed. Nice homely touches throughout the apartment!

Hat voll gepasst.
Pros:

Authentisch, Pub- Athmospäre und historischer Paddington Bahnhof- inkl.Paddington- Bär im Zimmer.
Trotz Belebter Strasse und Metro im Untergrund- nachts ruhig.
Grosszügiges Frühstück.

Cons:

Im 1.Zimmer tropfte es von der Decke--> bekamen dann ein andwres Zimmer.
Vor den Fester das konstante Summen der Lütungen war gewöhnungsbedürftig, keine scjöne Aussicht.
Am 2.Morgen keine Milchalternative für' s Porridge.

short visit to london
Pros:

Room was large enough. Shower was easy to use, and toiletries available. Tea, coffee and kettle available. Location to Paddington, close and easy to find

Cons:

Stairs up to room, twisting steps to 2nd floor. Had to give a deposit for mini bar, which I was not aware of. which I have not used and have not received the return of the £50. Breakfast menu was small, the food available was good and service quickly.
