Good

Great stay and will come...

Liked: Breakfast was excellent.
Disliked: N/A

Very good

Short stay in London, close...

Liked: Very easy to get to from Heathrow/Paddington, which is my main motivation for staying on several trips.If you like the full English breakfast, you can put away a thousand calories. Otherwise, there's cereal.
Disliked: Rooms are small. Some rooms are super small - this stay I got one big enough to turn around in (score). This is London, so this is always my expectation

Location was great and staff...

Liked: Location was great and staff very friendly
Disliked: Room was quiet stuffy

I stayed at the hotel...

Liked: The first thing I’d highlight is the location. You’re just a 5-minute walk from Paddington Station, which connects to key underground lines—especially the new Elizabeth Line, which links all the important parts of the city. You can get to the hotel quickly from almost anywhere.Next, the staff are truly kind and welcoming. The receptionists are well-prepared, and if you arrive before check-in (2:00 PM), you can leave your luggage at the front desk and head out to enjoy the city. You can return anytime—there’s always someone at reception. You just fill out a short form, and that’s it. No extra fees, no special conditions. The same goes for check-out: you simply return your room key and get a warm goodbye. You really feel welcome here.My room was on the top floor, accessible via typically narrow British carpeted stairs—which I didn’t mind. The room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. The bathroom with shower and toilet was small but sufficient, and there was plenty of hot water. The bed was wide enough, though the high mattress had a bit of a bounce I had to get used to. My window faced the street, but I didn’t hear any noise at night.Breakfast is served in a small basement room. A very kind lady offers a traditional English breakfast with eggs, tomato beans, potato rosti, bacon, and sausages. You can toast white or brown bread. There’s also a vegetarian option, where she’ll ask how many eggs you’d like. You can spread butter or jam on your toast, or grab some cornflakes. Drinks include orange or apple juice (100%), coffee, and tea. Since we’re in Britain, I’d recommend the tea. 🙂Greetings to the gentlemen at reception—and thank you for the lovely stay and the donuts!
Disliked: The only downside worth mentioning is the thin walls. If someone is chatting in the room next door at night, you’ll hear it. Same if someone slams a door on your floor. But I feel this is common in most city hotels.
