The Pride of Paddington is a fantastic location, with kind helpful staff.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Kind Staff, appreciated that we could open the window in our room and it had an air conditioner unit.

Cons:

The room we were in could use a fresh coat of paint and better pillows on the bed.

10/10 😍
Pros:

Loved our couple nights stay here!
Super convenient location (direct from London Heathrow), tube access and walking distance to many sights.
The staff were lovely and very helpful.
Comfy bed, nice room and bathroom, couldn't fault it!
Staff had luggage storage onsite so that we could leave our bags prior to check in and go explore London.
Perfect for couples or singles!

Posizione eccellente.
Pros:

Struttura situata in una posizione eccellente per la vicinanza alla stazione dei treni e della metropolitana. Non condivido chi lo definisce rumoroso, eravamo in una camera al primo piano e nessun rumore ha disturbato il nostro sonno. Lo staff è molto disponibile e gentile, c'è il deposito bagagli che, per chi come noi viaggia con un volo di rientro serale, risulta comodissimo. Anche la presenza dell'aria condizionata è un valore aggiunto. Pulizia apprezzabile. Un pò costoso ma lo consiglierei. Grazie dell'omaggio per il compleanno di mio marito!

Cons:

Sarebbe necessario aggiungere qualche gancio in bagno per gli asciugamani, in tre non sapevamo dove metterli. Cambio asciugamani e pulizia del bagno giornaliera ma non rifanno il letto, basterebbe questo per essere il top.
