“Great value in good London locality!”

This is a nice little hotel on a very quiet side street just a stone's throw from Paddington station, connected to Heathrow by express trains and the tube. I was easily able to walk to the hotel with my wheeled suitcase, and although it was early and a room was not available yet, the friendly staff offered to keep my luggage for me, offered me a complimentary hot tea service, a washroom to freshen up, and then I was on my way to exploring London. My room was clean, with free internet via cable, and a cute little ensuite bathroom with shower stall. I would recommend this hotel without any qualms!

“Lovely little room :)”

Very small room, as many others have commented - but since I was out and about touring London 18 hours a day, and sleeping the rest, size of room really doesn't matter! The staff were friendly, and efficient. Breakfast was ok, only had it 1 day - cheaper round the corner at the coffee shop. Overall a very enjoyable stay in a wonderful part of London.

“Brilliantly convenient”

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect for wandering around Hyde Park and a central location to explore London. Far enough away from the station to avoid the noise, but not too far to cause difficulty lugging the luggage!

“RECOMENDED”

The only thing I would recomend is plan in advance, because I asked the staff for certain places to go and the did not have a clue. I manage to got my way LUCKILY. I guess all the hotels in London are quite small, this is pretty small.

“Nice and quiet”

Cute little hotel, standard tiny little London hotel rooms but well done. Quiet neighborhood with a late night grocery, med clinic, dentist, and numerous restaurants within 1 block. Perfect for the first time London traveler.
