Fantastic Spot Near Paddington!

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.

fantastic find!

above average roomeasy accessfresh airold beds
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.
