Great location, pleasant staff
Pros:

The breakfast was within expectations. Didn't have any problems with beds. The room was clean and quiet and was cleaned every day. The location of the hotel is main reason we stayed here.

Cons:

The bedroom doors are on a mechanism that is quite strong and closes the doors immediately. Some kind of locking to keep the doors open wood be ok but it was nothing to ruin the overall experience.

Excellent location, friendly staff and a quiet room.
Pros:

Location was excellent and a quick easy walk to Paddington Station. Room was quiet and breakfast was good. Breakfast area was bright and comfortable. Toilet and shower both worked well and the towels were unusually thick and fluffy.

Cons:

Could not turn off the heat in the bathroom. Room was quite warm despite chilly outside temperature so we had to keep the windows open and they rattled while open. Furniture looked worn out.

Para ser Londres, repetiría
Pros:

La ubicación, el barrio súper tranquilo. Las camas cómodas , habitación con calefacción , baño antiguo pero correcto. Tenía ascensor . Desayuno normalito pero correcto. Nos dejaron dejar las maletas hasta las 14 sin coste extra. Nada ruidoso

Cons:

La cortina de la bañera, que la ducha no era desmontable con lo que no podías ducharte sin mojarte el pelo.

Pros:

La posizione, zona molto tranquilla e collegata benissimo.

Cons:

Colazione da migliorare, poco varia, e poco ricca.
Gli infissi da rivedere, in camera nostra quando soffiava il vento, entrava aria gelida dell’esterno, e andrebbe messo il doppio vetro per insonorizzare, si sentivano troppi i rumori della strada.
