The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station, making it very convenient. The rooms, though small and with some maintenance issues, are acceptable for a short stay. The service is somewhat lacking in friendliness. Overall, it's a decent option for a short stay due to its location.

The hotel's location is top-notch, close to Paddington Station and within walking distance of Hyde Park and Little Venice. The rooms, unfortunately, were in dire need of maintenance, with a moldy bathroom ceiling and rickety bed, which was disappointing. The dining experience was subpar, not meeting expectations, and guests opted to dine out for a better meal. However, the service was a mix of helpfulness, especially from Chiara, but unhelpfulness on specific days, costing unnecessary expenses. Despite these shortcomings, the convenient location and proximity to key attractions stand out.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The room was tiny, which was manageable, but with poor ventilation and low ceilings making it uncomfortable. We had to scramble to find another hotel, making my pregnant sister's experience challenging as we ended up far from London, causing us to miss our Shrek Adventure booking. The rooms are too cramped for a family.

The hotel is conveniently close to Paddington Station and offers easy access to Heathrow. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but overall clean, with a minor tea stain on the bathroom door frame. The service was impeccable, with a focus on hygiene standards, although the manager was unavailable during my stay. The location is great, just a short walk from Hyde Park and two tube stations. Dining was decent but slightly overpriced. The hotel offers good value for money considering its facilities.

The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station, making it perfect for travelers coming from Heathrow Airport. The rooms, however, were small and basic, more like broom closets, though they were reasonably clean. The service was lacking with unhelpful and rude staff.

The hotel had a terrible smell of nicotine and air freshener in the rooms, making it uncomfortable to stay.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The room was an excellent size and the location was very convenient, but I faced issues with the lack of proper ventilation, a leaking shower, and disruptive noise levels in the early morning. Although I didn't receive an upgrade despite being a loyal customer, the room had its limitations like a small wardrobe, a non-functional phone, and thin walls. On the plus side, the hotel's location was brilliant, close to everything, and the Wi-Fi quality was good.
