    The hotel was noticeable, rooms and the breakfasts here were incredibly nice! The location was good and perfect, for example, a Hyde park was not very far from the property. I truly enjoyed the nice quiet area around the hotel.

    Staff, position, convenience, easy transport.

    Insufficient ventilation in the bathroom has resulted in a stale smell. The grouting of the tiles was discoloured, which could be improved simplt using Dettol mould remover which is sold in a green bottle for less than £3. The beds were in need of renewal as you could feel the structure, but we slept all right.

    The location is superb, just a stone's throw from Paddington station. The room layout offers a cozy feel, perfect for a short stay.

    Unfortunately, I found the room a bit cramped, more suited for a solo traveler than a couple. The bathroom had a leak that required a handheld shower for adequate pressure, less than ideal. I also noticed some noise from the community garden nearby, which could disrupt your evening peace a bit, especially on the fourth floor where I stayed.

    Convenient Location with Friendly Service

    The room met my basic needs, and the staff were accommodating, even offering assistance post-surgery. A nearby Indian restaurant offered delicious meals, perfect for a quick bite before recovery. Be mindful of possible noise from other guests on busy nights.

    great location

    The staff were super friendly, and my single room was perfect for a short getaway. The shower had amazing pressure, and the location was spot on-just a walk away from hyde park and close to the underground. Definitely a great choice for solo travelers!
