I have stayed at this hotel before. I was happy the first time & happy this time. The hotel is close to Paddington railway station & several tube lines. It is a short walk from Kensington Gardens. Hotels are expensive in London & I wanted a single room to keep costs down. The single rooms are at the top of the hotel up several flights of steep steps. I am ok with this. The room is big enough & quiet. The breakfast is good. There are plenty of restaurants & pubs close by.

I like the hotel. Single rooms are at the top of the hotel up several flights of steep steps. Not recommended for everyone but good for me.

Top location, walking distance to Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Good service and friendly welcome! It is an old building so the rooms and stairs are small and there is no lift (which is not uncommon in London), but the most is made of the room's space and it has all you need for a (short) stay. The room was clean and had coffee and tea making facilities. The breakfast was basic but nice and sufficient. I would definitely stay again!

Hôtel well spotted for a few days in London. Practical to get to all places. Very nice people in charge and a quiet place to rest and sleep. Very clean and good mattress.

The room for 3 could have been a little wider. The shower system not very practical for shower- English system. Breakfast closes too early on Saturday at 9am. Breakfast is ok, not exceptional.

Location was ideal for my first day in London, less than a 5 min walk from Paddington Station. Room was very cute, clean and comfortable with a window overlooking a pretty, tree-lined street. Although small, the room size is perfectly sufficient for a single traveller. The owners are a lovely Italian couple who were very kind and very accommodating. If you need anything at all, you simply ring a bell in the lobby area and within a minute or so they are there to help you. Breakfast was hearty with a choice of traditional English style or continental, complete with juice, coffee, or tea. I really enjoyed my stay - was exactly the way I wanted to spend my first day in London!

My room was located on the top floor - 7 flights of steep stairs up. As I am fairly fit and only brought a carry-on suitcase with me this was not a problem at all, however, if you have mobility issues or large amounts of luggage, the stairs may be an issue for you as there is no elevator.

The host was a very nice man. Got my room before check-in time (went to drop my bag). They make you breakfast (which I prefer over buffet). The one person room is very small but I don't mind.

Bit noisy, but it's an old building.

Location is great - few minutes walk from Paddington station which has all the connections to travel - heathrow express, various tube lines as well rail connections. Hotel is in a quiet area and around Paddington station there are ample eating options We were out all day from 9 am to 10 pm. Hotel was perfect for a good night's sleep and morning breakfast. Comfortable beds, clean bathroom. Room even had usb charging points!!

It was perfect for our requirements, which were really a comfortable place to spend the night, before heading out exploring during the day. In general, lots of narrow stairs, so a point to note for those with heavy luggage or physical challenges. We were on the 1st floor and with small bags, so it worked great for us!

The hotel is well located, was good value and the room and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was served and good,(egg, bacon, sausage etc. ) and the staff were attentive and asked if I needed more. I was able to leave my bags although there was no full time reception.

Although it was fine for me, the breakfast ends at nine which may not suit late risers. Also there is no lift and my room was on the top floor, again not really a problem for me but it may not suit those with mobility issues.

Very close to hyde park, the staff was so nice and very welcoming, the breakfast was included and came hot with just enough to satisfy, it's clean with everything you could need, tea and coffee in the room ect,

Our room was on the very top floor however. The hotel was fully booked and we managed to get that room but if you do happen to get that room, set up camp half way up. We couldn't get cold water in the taps it was room temperature, at this point I'm struggling to find any faults.

The hotel is in a great location near to Paddington Station, Lancaster Gate and Hyde Park. The room was small, but had everything I needed. The road outside was occasionally a bit noisy with traffic. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely stay there again. The bed was comfortable.

The vegetarian cooked breakfast was a bit sparse. I'd go for a continental breakfast (muesli and croissant) if I stay again.

Great location next to Paddington, very quiet. The hotel is in a large building with loads of other hotels. Basic, simple but has everything i needed for 1 night: comfy bed, TV, coffee/tea maker, a very small but renovated bathroom with a shower. No lift so travel light to climb some 70 narrow steps if you have the top floor room or 80+ from breakfast room - for me this was the perfect exercise. There is no AC so the room can be warm in the summer but luckily my room was on the North side. The breakfast was very good for this size of a hotel: continental or English. The service was truly friendly and welcoming.

To improve an AC would certainly help in the 30+ Celsius London heat and a hand shower would be great in addition to the fixed one to avoid getting your hair wet.
