Good place to stay in, Paddington is so close, restaurants are good and stuff is friendly.
Pros:

Room is OK,but not really big, bathroom was clean. Breakfast is good and enough, beds are comfortable, the area is safe.

Cons:

Unfortunately we stayed during the heathwave. Because of security issues windows could be opened only for 10 cm wide, so all we got was a ventilator in the room, and we suffered a lot. Really need to get some AC!

Pros:

The employees where always really nice and helpful. The rooms are a bit small but very comfortable, nice looking and clean. Room service cleaned everyday our room. Even tho there was no AC and it was very hot, the hotel provided us with fans.
Storage is a bit minimal, especially in the 3-bedroom but we made it work.
Near the Hotel is a bus station and also 2 underground stations so central london is easy to reach.
All in all I absolutely would recommend this hotel. It's cozy and has this old English charm + very nice employees!

Cons:

Nothing to complain.

Okay if not hot or cold in London fine for a night, otherwise avoid
Pros:

Location is convenient to Paddington station and therefore easy access across London. Can't really say more than that.

Cons:

Place looks very very small compared to their public pictures, room was very small, bathroom even smaller you could hardly turn around and worse no air conditioning at all. Had a plug in fan which they provided which was next to useless. It was very hot in London so to be fair not normal, however I was expecting as a minimum air conditioning.

Bathroom was so small it was almost impossible to use it comfortably.

Pros:

Die Lage war Optimal,das Zimmer war sauber aber für 3 Pers.zu klein.
Dann kamm noch die Hitze im Zimmer keine Klima.Man konnte es kaum aushalten.Es hatte 2 Ventilatoren im Zimmer aber da mein Sohn Asthma hatte bringt es nicht mit dem Venti anzulassen.Staubaufwirbeln.

Cons:

Wen man gegen 22.00 Uhr zum Hotel kommt und die Angestellten auf der Treppe sitzen und wir bitten mussten das wir durchgehen konnten.
Als der TV nicht ging und mein Mann nach unten ging inkl.läuten kamm niemand xu reception.

Pros:

位置方便，在火車站附近

Cons:

房間狹窄，廁所極細，東方人身形都難以接受，何況是西方遊客。
沒有冷氣，只有一把座枱風扇，夏天焗熱，不打開窗戶無法入睡。但打開窗戶受噪音及街燈滋擾，又沒有私隱。
