Todella hyvä majoitus erinomaisella sijainnilla
Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti kävellen ja metrolla pääsi kulkemaan hienosti. Tulo ja lähtöpäivänä sai jättää laukut säilytykseen kaupungilla pyörimisen ajaksi alakerran pubiin. Huoneisto oli siisti ja kuvauksen mukainen.

Pleasant and memorable.

Excellent location and friendly staff.

No lift so heavy suitcases need assistance that their staff is willing to provide.

Cons:

Loved everything.

Fräscht, bra bemötande och nära till förbindelser
Pros:

Rummet var rent och fräscht, nya bäddningar och handdukar varje dag. Läget mycket bra enligt mig om du vill göra aktiviteter, nära till Paddington Station och buss som går till Notting Hill. Ac:n var fantastisk då vi besökte London under värmebölja. Trevligt bemötande från personal, det finns även alltid personal nere i puben på natten om något händer eller om man behöver hjälp. Kändes tryggt!

Cons:

Puben blev mycket varm under vistelsen när vi åt där, rekommenderar att käka på andra ställen om ni bor på detta boende under sommaren. Ljud från tunnelbanan (paddington station) förekommer, men jag tyckte dock att det var mysigt. Även något svåröppnad dörr till rummet.

Fantastic location, older building
Pros:

Great location! Super close to Paddington station and easy to get around. The decorations are in the hotel are nice, give it a boutique feel.

Cons:

It’s an older building so there are expected problems with things like the air con which stopped functioning for the entire building for a few hours while we were there. However, the staff worked really hard to get it up and running. Kudos to them! In general, the air con unit could also be cleaned a bit more as it was also quite dusty which might contribute to it not running as efficiently.

Pros:

Location is ideal for catching a train and the service was excellent. The real flowers in the window box outside my room windows put it over the top for me. Perfect little pub stay

イギリスっぽくて面白かったです！
Pros:

パディントン駅にとても近く、また1階の『パブ飯』も美味しかったこと。

Cons:

階段が急で、足腰の弱い方には向いていないかも。また、地下鉄が通るたびにゴーという音がして、人によってはなかなか眠れない場合もあるかもしれません。お部屋に『耳栓』もありました笑（私は楽しかったですが）

Een ruim en aangenaam verblijf in een typische Engelse pub.
Pros:

Het appartement is ruim en comfortabel. De ontvangst was aangenaam, er stonden verse bloemen en vers fruit op de tafel.
Er waren 2 aparte kamers met elk een badkamer. De metrotoegang en de bushaltes lagen erg dichtbij, gewoon straat over steken. Het Hyde Park is op wandelafstand.

Cons:

Elk voordeel heeft zijn nadeel, 5.15u begonnen de metrostellen te rijden en dus ook lawaai te maken, je kan de stationshalte zien vanuit de badkamer. Een goede slaper heeft er weinig last van. Het appartement ligt op de bovenste verdieping, dus heel wat trappen te gaan maar dat werd op voorhand vermeld. Er zijn ventilatoren ter verkoeling, geen airco. Je hebt een type G reisstekker nodig wil je de GSM kunnen opladen.

Cosy, comfy stay in the middle of London
Pros:

Really lovely stay at the Pride of Paddington. The room was great and very calm and quiet considering its just next to Paddington Station. Very no-nonsense kind of vibe from the staff, which we love. I think this is the way to stay in London instead of "normal" hotels. We had our six months old with us, and it worked really well. Also, the location made it super easy to get to and from the airport. Would definately recommend.
