Reviews and Ratings
The hotel location is excellent, close to Edgeware Road and neighboring fantastic restaurants. The rooms provided a quiet and comfortable stay, allowing for a good night's sleep, although they were compact with limited shower access. The service was pleasant and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience, despite some minor issues with cleanliness. Conveniently situated near Paddington Station and Edgware Road Tube, the location offers easy access to various attractions and transport links. Dining options were decent, with ample food choices, although the breakfast on Sundays featured a limited selection. The facilities were satisfactory, with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was great, close to Paddington Station and not far from Hyde Park, providing easy access to the city center. However, the room was not up to par, as it needed a good clean and the air conditioning was nonexistent. The service seemed indifferent at times, though the breakfast was a decent start to the day.
The hotel's location was convenient, close to various amenities and within walking distance of key attractions, but the room was disappointing with old furniture, a broken TV, and a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The dining experience was lacking with limited options and unreliable information on the booking site. On the bright side, the service was accommodating, and the hotel's proximity to local shops and restaurants was a plus.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was really good, close to Hyde Park and the tube station, the rooms were tiny and in need of renovation. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining options were quite limited. Overall, it was a budget-friendly choice in a convenient location.
The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington station with easy access to several tube stations and shops. It offers a reasonable place to rest your head, but the room conditions and price may not meet expectations for this standard.
The hotel's location is ideal, just a 5-minute walk to the tube station and close to a fabulous Halal restaurant, MAKAN. The rooms are very basic but clean, although the facilities are limited. The service, however, was a bit lacking in addressing complaints. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a decent breakfast but room for improvement. Overall, for a short break in and around central London, with easy access to the tube station, the location is convenient on the Edgware Road.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, close to the tube and easily accessible to transport links. However, there were some issues with the rooms, including no lift access to the third floor and some maintenance issues like holes in the wall. The staff were friendly and helpful, which was a plus. The dining experience was basic with limited options, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel's location is excellent, being very close to the Edgware Road tube station and great for West London explorations. However, the rooms are in serious need of a deep-clean and renovation, with some issues like a high step in the bathroom causing inconvenience. The service was very nice and cooperative, providing helpful guidance for traveling around London. The dining experience was average, with limited breakfast options. The hotel's facilities are decent, but proper maintenance is required.
Upon arrival, the room was freezing cold, seemed dirty, and had a bad smell. The location is handy for my stay, very good for access to Oxford Street, and excellent for reaching bus stations. The dining experience was great for the price, though the quantity was less than expected. The facilities were lacking, and the price did not match the quality I experienced.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not as clean as they should have been, and the windows didn't open, making it too small, hot, and noisy. The uncomfortable bed made it difficult to sleep. On the positive side, the service was top-notch, with some of the friendliest staff I've encountered in all my years of traveling. The location was very good, near Bus stops and Edgeware Road Underground Station, with safe surroundings and good cafes and stores nearby. However, the breakfast was disappointing, with burnt toast and stale croissants. Despite some shortcomings, the value for money was decent considering the amenities offered.
