Fantastic Spot Near Paddington!

great location friendly staff

I found the location unbeatable. It's super close to Paddington Station. The staff proved very friendly. Breakfast included fried eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and jam! It was a great start to the day.

I stayed on the top floor and the room was too hot! The water pressure in the shower wasn't great either.

The breakfast felt quite basic. they only had croissants and toast. I wished they offered more options like ham or cheese. my room also faced the street. The noise made it hard to sleep well.

fantastic find!

above average room easy access fresh air

the room size felt very generous for a central location. i had a ground floor room and access was wonderfully easy. windows faced an internal courtyard so natural light and fresh air poured in. the room was very quiet.

the beds felt a bit old and some stains marked the mattresses.
