Not happy.
Pros:

Location - I came to Paddington Station on the Heathrow Express at 9.00 am and walked to the Admiral Hotel and left my bag there so I could spend the day in London.

Cons:

The room was so small I had to turn my suitcase on its side to get in the room. The shower was dirty and so small. I am 5 foot and lean and I could barely move in the space. The TV was linked to the network service and it dropped out constantly so after 5 minutes the tv said I couldn't watch without network so no Tv.
There wasn't warm enough bedding - I had to wear a tracksuit to bed. Thankfully I was only there for 1 night. I have stayed in Paddington 4 times over the last couple of years in both hotels and Airbnb's - the Admiral is the worst accommodation and it cost a lot for 1 night.
I won't return.

Non aprite quella porta!!
Pros:

La posizione.

Cons:

Foto non corrispondenti alla realtà. Partiamo dalla camera. L’ultima volta che hanno lavato le tende e i vetri Winston Churchill iniziava lo svezzamento. Bagno con tenda, tavoletta del bagno rotta, calcare e sporcizia ovunque nella doccia. Testate del letto rosicchiate da Cip e Ciop per non parlare della pendenza della scalinata per arrivare in camera. Alla fine della seconda rampa come sull’Everest serviva bombola d’ossigeno. Sveglia naturale al mattino con camera infestata da un odore irrespirabile di fagioli. Praticamente dormi e sotto il letto hai la moquette che trasuda olio. Colazione da far invidia a cucine da incubo. Tazze e piatti lavati a mano e asciugati con la stessa pezza con cui si pulivano i tavoli. Dulcis in fundo il water in pendenza. Roba che ti siedi e ti devi allacciare le cinture. Grande NO

Słaby
Pros:

Miły i pomocny personel recepcji

Cons:

Pokój na ostatnim piętrze do którego prowadziły kręte schody. Pokój bardzo mały, na ostatnim piętrze, bardzo nagrzewał się od dachu było bardzo duszno i gorąco. Dopiero ostatniego dnia po zgłoszeniu tego w recepcji dostaliśmy przenośny klimatyzator.
Dość brudno, w łazience popękane plastikowe elementy lustra i bardzo zakurzone, poplamiony dywan.
Najgorzej wspominam gorąc i zaduch w pokoju w nocy.

Great location, nice vibe. Good budget
Pros:

Location was good, breakfast was good.

Decepcionante
Pros:

La ubicación está bastante bien, cerca de la estación de paddington.

Cons:

No tiene ascensor, no tiene aire acondicionado, y estamos a 30 grados con mosquitos en la habitación.
El baño tuvo tiempos mejores, estaba limpio pero había cosas rotas.
Me llegó un mensaje de que la recepción era dos puertas antes, pues resultó ser que la habitación estaba en el otro edificio que pertenecía a otro hotel.
El recepcionista quiso que pagase dos veces, el desayuno id con calma porque es un espacio pequeño y la cocinera no da hecho.
Al salir, no había recepcionista con lo cual, dejamos allí las cosas y nos fuimos.
Tiene una zona de consigna no vigilada, entra cualquiera, coge las cosas y se va.
No recomiendo, por este precio, hay cosas mejores.
