Two night city break
Pros:

It was our 2nd stay at this hotel, and on both occasions it has been a very pleasant and quiet stay. The staff were also very pleasant.
The welcome soft drink and snacks were a nice touch.
The location for Transport is perfect along with there being a lot of restaurants in the area.
Luggage storage was ideal both on our arrival and when we left, so we were free to explore the city easier.
Breakfast in the hotel, was enough to set us up for a good day out.

Cons:

The bathroom was functional but it was small and very compact to move around in.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and the bedroom was nice and comfortable. And it was clean.

Cons:

I booked and paid for myself and my family to stay in the admiral hotel and we ended up staying in another building instead. We didn't even have a normal bathroom, it was more like a plastic caravan bathroom which was tiny and dangerous as there wasn't enough space for myself,my husband or my family members to even have a shower. You stood up after using the toilet and would slip into to the shower tray. Very dangerous, especially at night time..the rooms I booked were in the admiral hotel with a normal full size bathroom and instead we were given this. This is not what I paid for. Was asked if we wanted to leave our luggage there while walking around, and glad I didn't as people were told to just dump there luggage on the floor near the reception desk/ communal room. No tickets to prove who's luggage is who's. Breakfast time was bad. Booked for 8.30 and still had to wait around with other families because the breakfast Room is so tiny that people had to wait for others to finish before you could go downstairs to the breakfast room. Tiny room where people we're passing hot food and drinks over peoples heads, including my two year old granddaughter because there was not enough space to walk around inbetween tables. The bacon and beans were cold and I didn't get a hash brown with my breakfast but the rest of my family didm . The continental breakfast was not a continental breakfast. It consisted of cornflakes, crunchy nut cornflakes, muesli and sunflower seeds, a tiny plate of sliced cheese and toast you made yourself. And took so long to come out.

Nice place to stay!
Pros:

Staff was very nice, let us leave our bags before check in so we could explore. Room was clean and came with toiletries. Electric kettle with tea in the room. Full english breakfast was a nice addition!

Cons:

The motion activated hallway light would turn on every time we got up from bed at night, even though it wasn't in our room.

Lieber mehr Geld ausgeben
Pros:

Die Lage zur Paddington Station

Cons:

Gebucht hatte ich das Admiral untergebracht wurden wir dir 1. Nacht im Kingsley. Dort gab es kein Bad sondern eine Duschkabine aus Plastik. Keine Toilettenbürsten Haare in der Dusche. Wir haben dann ein anderes Zimmer bekommen etwas Kleiner aber immerhin so etwas wie ein Bad.

Pros:

Det eneste positive var personalet, som var venligt og hjælpsomme.

Cons:

Vi fik et værelse på et hotel 2 huse nede af gaden, som øjensynligt hænger sammen det det hotel, vi bestilte. Værelset vi fik var på 4. etage uden elevator. Der var spindelvæv mange steder og badeværelset stank af kloak.
Endvidere fungerede det varme vand kun delvist - når der blev skruet op for den varme hane forsvandt trykket på vandet, hvilket kom igen (ind i mellem) når der blev skruet ned for varmen. Vi elsker ikke kolde brusebade!
Morgenmaden var sparsom, specielt hvis man ikke er til English Breakfast. Desuden var der ikke plads til alle, hvor morgenmaden blev indtaget, hvis man ikke kom kl. 7.30! I så fald måtte man vente i kældergangen indtil det blev et ledigt bord. Derfor anmodede personalet også om at man spiste hurtigt og forlod morgenbordet straks, man var færdig.

Pros:

Typowy mały hotelik w londyńskiej kamienicy. Pokoje bardzo małe i jeszcze mniejsze łazienki. Niektóre pokoje z mini balkonami. Bardzo strome i wąskie schody. Położenie hotelu idealne do zwiedzania Londynu. Obsługa recepcji bardzo zaangażowana i miła. Obsługa sali restauracyjnej (podczas śniadań) niegrzeczna. Śniadania okropne! Dania na ciepło nie do zaakceptowania. Pozostały tosty i dżem (raczej najtańsza galaretka w jednorazowych pojemnikach), okropna kawa i herbata. Możliwość pozostawienia bagażu. Okolica hotelu stosunkowo bezpieczna.
