Great proximity to Paddington Station
Pros:

Location was brilliant. Very handy for Paddington Station. Lots of lovely restaurants and bars close by. Room had three chairs which was great. Also plenty of storage facilities. Did not have breakfast.

Cons:

Only had one pillow each and when asked for another pillow at Reception, was told no pillows available. Had to leave a note in room to ask for milk, as none left in room two days. Didnt replace towels though dirty ones were taken away.

Well located, clean, but don’t expect too much at the price.
Pros:

Very convenient near Paddington Station, clean and friendly staff, fair value at the price.

Cons:

No bath mat, basin in room was very small, only a pedestal fan and vagrants fighting outside made sleeping a bit tough.

Molto piacevole
Pros:

La posizione e’ eccellente ( a pochi passi dalla metro). Quartiere molto servito. La camera era pulita e spaziosa e si trovava al primo piano. Ho apprezzato molto l’anticipo del check-in visto che la stanza era già pronta. Dormo sempre con tappi e mascherina per cui non ho percepito i disagi di cui ho letto nei commenti altrui. Qualità prezzo eccellente. Molto consigliato.

Cons:

Il lavandino del bagno troppo piccolo
