Cheap and cheerful
Pros:

The staff and the location were brilliant very close to Hyde Park and multiple tube stations and Paddington a short 10/15 min walk
Bedding was fresh and had fridge, wardrobe, and TV but we didn’t stay to spend time in the room was just a stop off place to sleep and keep our stuff while we went out around London.
Short 15 min walk to Marlybone good for access to Wembley

Cons:

It was very hot the week we stayed and even with the window wide open it was absolutely boiling in the room, the whole room was tired and run down, skirt boards rotting, very dated decore

Convenience was king. Not a hotel for spending time in!
Pros:

Great location and ok price.

Cons:

Shower didn’t really work. Tv didn’t work. V aged inside and needs a proper tidy up and deep clean. Breakfast room felt like a cramped dungeon!

Not what we expected, thankfully only there one night. Won't be returning.
Pros:

Breakfast was ok. The location was the best thing about this hotel

Cons:

The bathroom and shower were awful. Once you managed to squeeze through the bathroom door by squashing up against the toilet, you had a trickle of a shower in a very old marked and worn tiny cubicle. Lots of limescale and bad attempts at patching grout and sealant. The sink which was in the entrance hall was also badly marked.
