Good location pleasant staff
Pros:

Convient to Paddington station. Nice part of town. Lots of restaurants, near Hyde Park. Hotel above pub was clean and the rooms comfortable. Plenty of hot water on the taps. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Beware 2 story narrow stairs to walk up. Noisy, not from the pub but the nearby subway line which rattles the walls.

Das Geld nicht wert
Pros:

Sehr nah an Paddington Station. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Sehr große Zimmer.

Cons:

Sehr fleckiger Teppich im Zimmer, der vermutlich seit Jahrzehnten gewechselt werden müsste Ein furchtbarer Geruch im Zimmer. Man spürt und hört jede Bahn.

Nice place but noisy!
Pros:

Staff were lovely. Room was clean and shower was nice.

Cons:

Stupid thing but the taps were missing the central hub in the middle. Also slept badly due to tube trains rumbling underneath. And then got woken early due to empty kegs being thrown about.

The stairs!

A convenient option a stones throw from the train station
Pros:

Location is fab and the rooms are cosy and comfortable

Cons:

The check in area isn’t the most clear and the staff at check in weren’t very welcoming or friendly. In fact they were pretty rude.

Pros:

The location next to Paddington Station was great for all trains and buses. It was nice to have a full English breakfast down in the pub. I liked that it is a historical pub.

Cons:

It was a bit overpriced for the facilities.

GREAT location, food & staff
Pros:

What a GREAT LOCATION!!!
We couldn't beat the location...just across from Paddington Station. Pub and hotel staff were pleasant at all times. Great food and beer too! The room was large for British standards - nice towels and shower too. Beware that you may hear/feel the trains below you though.

初ロンドン、最高でした
Pros:

パディントン駅近くでどこへ行くにもアクセス最高。
近所にレストランもスーパーもあり、どっち派でも満足できます。
スタッフの方も優しく対応してくれます。
朝食の満足感は素晴らしい。←以下アドバイスですが、選択できるプレートに加えバイキング形式のデザートや巨大クロワッサンなどがあります。選択するメニューによっては超ボリューミーなので、プレートを見てから追加を取りに行くことをお勧めします。

Cons:

中心部すぎて夜中でも救急車が音を鳴らして通ります。
備え付けのティッシは無いのでトイレットペーパーで代用するかご持参ください。
よく無いところを探すのが大変なくらい良かったです。

Pros:

La posizione e' davvero ottima, a due passi dalla stazione ferroviaria/metropolitana e del bus. Quindi arrivare in centro e' facile. Si fanno check-in e check-out presso il pub, idem per la colazione. La parte delle camere ha una porta aggiuntiva con tastierino numerico e un accesso dedicato se rientrate a pub chiuso.
La struttura e' antica e tradizionale, avra' almeno un secolo, ma credo sia stata recentemente ristrutturata a vedere scale, corridoi e camera. La camera e' abbastanza grande. Anche col divano-letto aperto ci si muove comodamente (al contrario della media delle stanze d'albergo londinesi che ho visto, anche in strutture blasonate in centro). Bagno nuovo e funzionale. Tutto molto pulito.
Ma per me il pezzo forte e' stato la colazione, piu' che una colazione, un brunch, direi! Andatevi a vedere il menu' sul loro sito web. C'e' da leccarsi i baffi. La mia preferita e' stata la tradizionale inglese con salsiccia, uova, pancetta e black pudding. Ma anche le altre sono al top.
Se ritornero' a Londra ritornero' ad alloggiare qui sicuramente!
