Lovely Stay-Great Location
Pros:

Excellent location-steps away from Paddington Station. Stayed 2 nights in Room 12-double bed and Room 7-single bed. Beds are firm, but I had no issues and slept comfortably; loved the Cadbury hot chocolate, and the mini bottle of milk for the coffee. The full English breakfast was delicious as was the salmon I ordered for dinner on one of the nights. Great staff, helped with luggage up the stairs as there is no lift.

Cons:

I had no dislikes, but space might be an issue for some, as not much room if you have more than one suitcase. And as stated in the description, you can hear the trains, for me it was a soft rumble. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you as there is also street noise in the evenings.

Pros:

La gentilezza dello staff.
Ho trovato la camera accogliente, pulita. In doccia c'erano shampoo, balsamo e doccia schiuma.
Non mancava davvero nulla.

Cons:

Essendoci il pub a piano terra, si sente un pochino la musica, ma smette intorno all' 01.00.
Perfezionarsi il tavolo del buffet (mancavano molte cose come il latte, i bicchieri, tovaglioli...
Ma sono solo semplici suggerimenti 😉

Lovely stay
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff, great pub and food/drinks, excellent English breakfast, location was perfect

Cons:

Nothing to really dislike, except separate hot and cold spigots in the bathroom sink, but I guess that's just a personal preference and I'm not used to that. Unfortunately we had to leave early the second day so we were unable to enjoy the breakfast again. .Also I wish they would have had washcloths in the bathroom.

Great place to stay especially for onward travel to Heathrow or South West.
Pros:

Great location as we wanted to stay close to Paddington Station. We ate in the bar and the food was very good. We stayed twice a week apart and the second time we included breakfast in the booking which worked out better value for money. Really friendly and helpful staff.
