Close to station, owner was friendly and very accommodating
Location right next to Paddington Station.
All the plumbing could use a little tightening.
Location for getting around was quite good. Right next to Paddington Station. Shops, restaurants, pubs etc. were all within easy reach. Walking distance to Hyde Park & Little Venice. However, the location also poses issues too. Busy, loud bars opposite play music & large gatherings till late in the night. Waste being collected in the middle of the night, & shop owners preparing business early in the morning. On one night there were three loud fights on the street outside, & the previous night a bag snatch occurred in broad daylight in the next street, less than one hundred metres away. You simply cannot sleep with the noise & single glazing/windows that don't close properly.
I could write for days, but all I can really do is URGE YOU NOT TO STAY HERE. I have stayed in many budget hotels, but this doesn't come near the standard of any. Some of the worst parts:
- Filthy rooms. Dust & fluff everywhere. Stained bedding with holes in. Other people's hair present. Flies in room on arrival. Dirty marks on mirrors & windows.
- Rude staff & "manager". The "manager" was sitting with his feet up on the check in desk when we arrived. I then found him asleep in bed at 7pm when nobody answered the reception bell repeatedly. Then became aggressive towards me when I requested a complaint form.
- TV that didn't work, then lied to about why.
- Toilet that rocked when sat on.
- Loose taps, that moved a lot when used. Hot water too hot to use.
- Room unbearably hot.
- Items stated were in room not present e.g. wardrobe, iron, ironing board.
- Outdoor table in room.
- One chair at table, for two people.
- No lamp, bedside table etc.
- Doors with cracks, holes, stray paint.
- Dangerous step up to bathroom.
- No lift, & no offer of help up to third floor room with suitcases.
- Floor creaky & uneven.
- No toiletries provided.
- No breakfast option.
- Communal areas also mucky & items left on stairs/landings. e.g abandoned hoover for days.
- Nowhere to hang towels, except over toilet.
- CLAIMED THIS WAS THE BEST ROOM ON CHECK-IN!!!

Nulla
Location
No fridge
The hotel is very close to Paddington Station which is convenient.
There's no lift, no option for breakfast, the room is beyond basic with visible damage to the bathroom door, paint splashes all over the place and a very basic and noisy bed.
The whole place just looks very tired, it's cheap but not somewhere I'd choose to stay again
Very helpful staff.
Location is superb
Steep stairs. No shampoo, TV dodgy
Stanza abbastanza pulita, piccola ma accogliente, letti abbastanza comodi e finestre che si affacciano sulla London street. TV in stanza e bollitore elettrico. La reception è aperta 24 ore.
Scala piuttosto scomoda per chi ha problemi di deambulazione, mancanza di frigo, e di un eventuale piccolo cucinino.
Vriendelijk personeel. De ruime hoeveelheid koffie, koffiemelk en suiker. Ook waren er theezakjes aanwezig. Daar heb ik geen gebruik van gemaakt. Een tv op de kamer. Het hotel staat dichtbij het station Paddington. Zo kan je makkelijk alle kanten op.
De bedden zijn best hard. Er zit geen plankje voor je toiletartikelen bij de spiegel. Ook is er geen plankje voor de zeep bij de douche. De douchekraan lekt.
La ubicacion es muy buen, a un paso de la estación Paddington, tesco y mas. La habitación era amplia y comoda
Very kind and helpful staff, good communication in the app and at the hotel. You get a key to the front door with the one to the room, so you can get inside at any time of day/night, even when there's noone at the reception desk. Clean bed linen, no bugs/rats/mice or bad smells - at least in our room. The temperatures in London were very nice throughout, and the temperatures inside were comfortable despite there being no AC. The streets were quite loud at night (especially late evening and early morning) but it was bearable in the room with the windows closed and the thick curtains drawn. The room itself (along with the private bathroom) was comfortable enough for us but we did not have high expectations and were OK with the bare minimum of basic amenities. We asked for an extra duvet for the twin bed and got one without any issues at no extra cost; it was also easy to borrow a hair dryer from the receptionist or get more toilet paper etc.. There was a working electric kettle in the room, a few mugs and some instant coffee packs (plus sugar and milk) and tea bags, so it was a nice addition if you wanted a quick tea or coffe after returning from a long day of walking around London or if you wanted to boil some water and let it cool to refill your bottles (in case you didn't want to drink tap water). There was also a working electric fan on the table in case it got too hot in the room. The three-person room had a single and a twin bed plus a comfortable chair and a small table, two platforms (which seemed like some type of low tables) stacked on top of each other that served as an extra shelf for your stuff, a shelf below the TV, a wall hanger and a standing clothes hanger, a wall-hanging mirror. There were enough wall sockets (also near the beds) to plug in some devices such as chargers in the room. Good free WiFi. Our overall impression (2 adults, 1 teenager) was really good for mostly sleeping and washing there.
I didn't dislike things but there's room for improvement like adding an electrical socket to plug in a hair dryer etc. in the bathroom. A small cabinet in the room would be nice (there was none) and a shelf in the bathroom (there was only a small wall lamp above the mirror, and a raised area above the floor to cover water piping). It was difficult to get a desired water temperature in the washbasin due to the separate hot and cold water taps, which were short, so the streams never mixed and you got a very hot one on the left and a cold one on the right (it was easier in the shower with the single mixed stream and a separate temperature knob but it took some trial and error to get it right - just don't set the temperature to too high and let the water run fast enough to get to a warmer or colder mixture without a long wait). The cold water tap was also fitted incorrectly, so it needed to be held in a more convenient position with a hand or something because there was very little room to reach the stream (the same applies to filling the kettle or washing fruit etc., which was very difficult in the hot stream because it was too hot for the hands). The shower was actually a good alternative for filling the kettle or washing fruit though it was then easy to get the floor wet in the process. The interior seemed clean enough at first glance and the colors and the brightness were better IRL than in the photos but if you looked closely, there were lots of places that hadn't been cleaned well (dust) and even a guest's personal item left under the bed; the windows weren't too clean, either. One of the windows did not shut well due to a small metal part at the bottom protruding and preventing good fit with the rest of the frame. The small light above the bathroom mirror didn't work and the wall shelf & wall hanger in the room were crooked/badly fixed; beds reinforced with wood beams/zip ties. OK with our managed expectations.
Personnel adorable, très bien placé et chambre très correcte pour le prix avec du thé offert.
