    Cooked breakfast choice could have been better, especially for vegetarians.

    Quad room was a good size for London, small bathroom as expected but functional, quiet and warm. Room was ready earlier than stated which was great and the staff were all very friendly. We were up before 8am and had no issues getting a breakfast table, plentiful as offered more toast and cereal and fruit on the side.

    Slightly disappointed that there was no gluten free bread at breakfast after I had asked and been assured there was. (It's never a problem to bring my own if I know). I felt that in the bathroom the cleaning fluids had been used in a rather heavy-handed way and I had a bad reaction to them initially on entry. Airing the bathroom solved the problem. Hangers were provided but there was nowhere go hang them; a row of hooks somewhere would be helpful.

    Good bed. Good location. Immaculately clean. The staff were very efficient and pleasant.

    Some water glasses would be good in the room. Bigger towels Breakfast was too basic, eggs could be offered scrambled. We went to Mihbaj on Praed street instead on day 2 and 3 But overall really happy with our stay and would go again

    Location for all the places we wanted to go to was perfect. Reception staff helpful and friendly. We loved our room and the beds were comfy. It’s just really well placed for everything. Some nice cafes on Praed street nearby for breakfast.

    Provisions in the room weren't renewed each day. Biscuits on day one, but not after that. Tea supply similar, and one small cake of soap on day one that had almost disintegrated by day three. A more generous supply would have been appreciated.

    The location is excellent, so close to Paddington Station. The hotel and its facilities are typical for that style of accommodation, so small bedroom and bathroom which we expected.. Breakfast choice was limited but adequate. Staff very efficient and happy to assist. The man at Reception very kindly lent us his umbrella when we went out as we had none.

    Breakfast is served only from 6:30 until 8:30. It was an adequate breakfast served by pleasant staffing, but we had to rush to be there on time. The timing would likely be good for people who are in London on business; however, it's rather early for those who are simply on vacation.

    The location was ideal. Paddington Station was only a 5 minute walk away.

    Stated above No handrail on upper floors. En suite not clean. Kettle ancient, needed replacing. Room was cold, needed blankets. Breakfast room in basement, not suitable for people with mobility issues. Toilet on ground floor near breakfast room had no hand basin, which should be illegal.

    Fantastic location very close to Paddington Station. Lovely looking on the outside. I think our room was 5th floor. No handrail on last staircase. Senior staff not friendly or welcoming. Younger staff nice. Toilet on ground floor by breakfast room had no hand basin which should be illegal. Breakfast room in basement. Not really suitable for people with mobility issues. Our en suite needed a good clean. Our kettle was ancient and needed to be replaced, but good supply of tea, coffee milk, sugar and biscuits. Towels clean, toiletries and toilet roll supplied. Beds narrow but comfortable. Nice quality sheets, but needed a quilt or thick blanket, as room was very cold. Wardrobe, bedside table and small table for kettle provided. There were 2 tower style fans. Bathroom had an opening window. Bedroom had a window. Bible located on the bedside table. Chair in corner to sit on was handy. All areas of hotel carpeted. Breakfast included croissant, hot drinks, juice, cereal, fruit, toast, bacon, fried egg (no choice), and baked beans. Adequate breakfast.

    2 buildings across the road from each other. Shower/toilet was tiny. Showerhead on floor as unable to stay up so i fixed it by pushing soap tray up the shower to hold it in place. Breakfast is across the road - room was tiny and bursting at the seams we only went once and paid for breakfast around the corner at The lite bite for the next 2 mornings.

    Small but clean room.

    The room was small, and facilities older. We only had a short stay so it was fine for one night but might have started to feel cramped after several days.

    The location was great and breakfast was included, although only for a short window of time. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The biscuits left in our room were very good and a nice snack with some tea after a long travel day.

    The bed placement in the solo rooms meant that I (195cm tall) couldn’t lie completely straight - it was easy to temporarily roll the bed out though.

    The location is great, staff were all friendly, room was clean. Was able to check in early because my room happened to be ready (I was going to use their luggage storage if not)
