Tunnelmallinen hotelli kivenheiton päässä Paddingtonin asemalta
Pros:

Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä, sisäänkirjautuminen helppoa ja vaivatonta. Ulkoa hotelli näytti hieman nuhjuiselta, mutta sisältä hotelli oli ensiluokkaisen siisti ja mukava. Vaikka asema on noin 5min kävelymatkan päässä niin naapurusto on siisti ja rauhallinen.

Cons:

Aamupalasta olisi hyvä mainita etukäteen että se on "full english", tämä voi olla lapsiperheille tärkeä asia tietää etukäteen.

An okay experience.
Pros:

The location is great.

Cons:

Basement level was unexpectedly noisy and otherwise unremarkable. The showers are tiny and hard to use. The extra beds were too short. The WiFi was connecting but internet was extremely slow, most of the time downright inaccessible. Breakfast okay-ish, with the serving lady in bad mood disliking her job; took my following breakfast in one of the restaurants nearby, was definitely better.

Budget hotel, seems to be a poor cousin of the other 2 properties.
Pros:

Staff, were great on reception,both on arrival and departure, we arrived a little earlier than expected but it wasn't an issue and we had keys within 5 minutes.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit of a lottery, overcrowded Breakfast room for the amount of guests, only part of the breakfast that was hot was the eggs because they were cooked to order then rest even the beans were cold having been pre cooked. First morning at breakfast a family of 7 decided they needed 3 tables set for 4 people each, another couple thought it was fine to allow 2 young children to run backwards and forwards between tables constantly getting part glasses of juice and overfull cups of tea and coffee.
Second morning had to wait ages for tables to be cleared, and found tea urn was empty and when it was finally filled struggled to get enough milk from the milk container because it was below the level of the tap, and again only hot part of breakfast was the eggs still hard yolks.
Last morning decided to just have toast which was hot because you toasted it yourself 🤣
Other guests seemed to be unable to grasp the concept of doors with spring closures and just let them slam late at night and early in the morning with no regard for other guests.
Multiple families also didn't bother controlling their children, allowing them to run around the public areas shouting and jumping in hallways and on the stairs.
We probably wouldn't stay again unless desperate.

Ordinary, good location and staff but that’s about it.
Pros:

Great location being just a short 5 minute walk to Paddington Station, however, there were 3 of us and the room was tiny, we had to climb up and down 59 stairs. Breakfast was supplied but was fairly ordinary. The staff were fantastic and very helpful.

Cons:

The 59 stairs to get to our room, breakfast could be better the people taking the orders couldn’t really understand English

Poteva andare meglio.
Pros:

Staff disponibile e gentile. Ci è stata data la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli alla reception fino al momento del check-in (essendo noi in anticipo) e ci è stata offerta una bibita fresca al nostro arrivo. La colazione è stata buona e preparata al momento da signore pazienti e ponte a soddisfare le più diverse esigenze.

Cons:

Quasi tutto. Innanzitutto ci è stata assegnata una camera al quarto piano senza ascensore. Una volta arrivati, abbiamo notato subito l'assenza di aria condizionata: in condizioni normali non sarebbe stato un grosso problema, ma trattandosi di una mansarda con un solo piccolo lucernario verso l'esterno, il caldo era davvero difficile da sopportare.

Nella stanza era presente un ventilatore, che però abbiamo preferito non utilizzare a causa dello spesso strato di polvere accumulato sopra (come si può vedere dalle foto).

La parte peggiore, però, è stata il bagno, che ricordava più quello di un mezzo pubblico che quello di una struttura ricettiva. Il problema non era soltanto estetico: l'acqua usciva a intermittenza, probabilmente a causa di un malfunzionamento della pompa. Scorreva per un paio di secondi per poi interrompersi altrettanto a lungo, rendendo l'utilizzo del lavabo e della doccia particolarmente scomodo.

Per concludere, avevamo prenotato una camera con letto matrimoniale, ma al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato semplicemente due letti singoli accostati. Inoltre, le fotografie pubblicate sul sito non corrispondono minimamente alla camera che ci è stata effettivamente assegnata.

A very good hotel for the price.
Pros:

Breakfast was OK. Staff was very helpful.

Cons:

Everything was as expected for the price. Be aware that this is NOT a luxury hotel. Be prepared for a climb up to your room - not fun with a heavy suitcase, and the upper rooms were VERY hot during the heatwave, but there was an oscillating fan so it was bearable.
The breakfasts were a bit oily.

Schlechteste Unterkunft, die ich je in London hatte.
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut

Cons:

Das Zimmer im vierten Stock war für ältere Gäste nicht geeignet. (steile Treppe, kein Geländer am letzten Teil. Das Badezimmer mit Duschvorhang war auf den Bildern nicht abgebildet. Laute Pumpe bei jeder Betätgung des Wasserhahns. Der Instantkaffee in einer Warmhaltekanne war ungenießbar.

Pros:

Nessuna recensione positiva, se non la buona posizione e lo staff della reception.

Cons:

Le camere non hanno aria condizionata, pertanto la notte è impossibile dormire nelle giornate calde ( da maggio ad agosto), specialmente chi viene alloggiato nella mansarda. Per chi viene alloggiato nella mansarda bisogna accedervi dopp 6 rampe di scale strette e infinite. Le camere sono piccole e sporche ( tanta polvere) si vede che non vengono pulite. In più è presente la mochette sporca e piena di polvere. Il bagno troppo piccolo non ci si riesce nemmeno a girarci. Il wifi non funziona praticamente mai in qualsiasi stanza/locale. Colazione solo inglese, accettabile se non fosse per la scarsa simpatia della signora che serve le colazioni e ha il vizio di togliere il pane dal grill e portatelo con le mani senza usare un piatto o la pinza. In sostanza questo è un albergo che potrebbe andare bene se si volesse spendere non più di 60 £ a notte, ma per 150£ a notte direi che è preferibile guardare altre opzioni
