The hotel offers small but sufficient rooms, ideal for a business stay. Although the rooms can feel cramped, the service is excellent with attentive staff, especially Lada and Anupami. The location is brilliant, perfect for Paddington Railway Station, with great sound insulation. However, the dining experience may be poor, leading to guests choosing to eat elsewhere, even though there's a nearby restaurant option. Overall, the hotel provides a valuable and convenient stay with some minor room size limitations.

The hotel had a cramped room but luckily not noisy, under my husband's name. The view was tiny and truly horrible for the money, though adequate. Service was not the friendliest, and they entered my room without knocking early. The location was ideal, very near Paddington station. The dining experience was poor and noisy with limited options.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right behind the Paddington Train Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, although small, are cleverly designed and have all the essentials for a short stay. The service was top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to assist us. The dining experience wasn't the best, with limited options and some confusion, but overall, I had a fantastic time during my visit.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were of a good size and larger than in most London 3 and 4 star hotels, and the service was excellent. The location was awesome, right next to Paddington railway station which made getting around super easy. However, the dining options were limited, and the dining experience was disappointing with poor choices. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor dining setbacks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I received, while cozy and had a comfy bed, was smaller than expected for the price. The staff, although not unfriendly, could have been more welcoming. The hotel's location next to Paddington Station was convenient, but the noise from ongoing renovations was a drawback. The dining options were mediocre, with limited breakfast choices. However, the hotel's proximity to major attractions and easy access to transportation were definite pluses.

The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington station, making it easy to get around the city. The rooms, while a bit gloomy and with some noise from neighboring guests, offer a decent stay for the price. The staff was a mix of kind and polite, with a special shoutout to Ana and Bogdan, despite occasional rudeness from other patrons. The dining experience was lackluster, mainly due to limited menu options at the nearby restaurant. Overall, good value for a short stay in London.

The hotel is conveniently located near Heathrow Express and Paddington Tube stations, making it perfect for travelers looking to explore the city easily. While the rooms didn't fully meet expectations in terms of amenities and views, they were suitable for my family. The service, despite some grumpiness and overcharging, was efficient when needed. The location, although central, is right next to the ongoing building works at Paddington Station, in need of renovations. Dining options are hit or miss, with limited selections, but the bistro atmosphere adds to the overall experience.
