Un très bon emplacement
Pros:

Le bâtiment où se situe l'hôtel est très joli. Le quartier vivant et la garde de Padington à 5mn avec le métro.
La chambre est spartiate mais suffisante. Un coup de frais pourrait être utile.
Le personnel est serviable et très sympathique.
Seul gros bémol: l'eau du robinet de la salle de bain et non potable, ce qui pendant les grosses chaleurs est compliqué

Cons:

Avoir de l'eau potable
Air conditionné

Gutes Budget-Hotel in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Großartige Lage, keine 5 Minuten von Paddington, sauber, Frühstück einfach aber gut und ausreichend. Zimmer sehr klein, aber für eine Übernachtung, bzw einen Kurztrip ausreichend. Super nett, die Bücherregale mit Büchern in mehreren Sprachen, falls man etwas Leselust verspürt... nettes Detail.
Nicht negative gemeint, aber man sollte es wissen, kein Aufzug, daher obere Stockwerke mit größerem Gepäck beschwerlich, wenn man das weiß, kein Thema, man kann sich drauf einstellen.

Pros:

Pokój dobrze skomunikowany, czysty. Słychać przejeżdżający pociąg/metro, ale dostałyśmy pokój na samej górze, więc nie przeszkadzał akurat nam. Personel bardzo pomocny.

Cons:

Na śniadaniu nie ma żadnych warzyw. Poza tym są dwie opcje śniadania i dopiero po wykupieniu tej droższej można otrzymać typowe angielskie śniadanie, w standardzie opcje są mocno okrojone.

Pros:

Huoneessa ei ollut kokolattiamattoa. Sängyt hyvät.

Cons:

Huoneessa olevat tavarahyllyt olivat kuluneet, kahdelle hengelle vaatteiden ym. säilytykseen kehnot - mutta menivät, sillä majoituimme vain yhden yön. Hyllyjen päällä olevien valaisimien sisäpuolet olivat pölyssä. Huoneessa ei ollut lusikoita, liekö ollut huolimattomutta. Valkaisu/puhdistusaineen haju kylpyhuoneessa oli kammottava, saimme pääkivun. Isot pyyhkeet voisivat olla aikuisen ihmisen kokoiset, huoneessa olleet sopivat ennemmin pienille lapsille/teineille.

Proche de la gare de Paddington
Pros:

Cet hôtel installé dans de vieilles maisons londoniennes possède donc un style authentique !
Il est très bien situé à moins de 5 minutes à pied de la gare Paddington ainsi que du métro.
Très pratique si on a un train à prendre, ce qui était mon cas.
Service correct, bon petit déjeuner et personnel sympathique.

Cons:

Ce n'était pas un problème pour moi, mais pour les personnes qui n'aiment ni ne peuvent monter des escaliers il est à noter qu'il n'y a pas d'ascenseur.
