This is a Dirty and old Hostel, not a Hotel, I just slept 1 night, for the other nights I had to make a reservation in other hotel and spend more money. The pictures that show the hostel seems that the hostel is in good shape, but the reality is totally different.

There is no potable water in the rooms. There was not a sign in one of the rooms we were in that said the water was non potable . There are a lot of places to stay near by with potable water. No where on their website did it say the water was non potable. The person that checked us in did not smile and was not friendly. This was a male. The staff next day was amazing. The breakfast was great! No elevator. We knew this though. The stairs are steep and narrow.

This stately older hotel was located in a quiet, yet active area. Close to trains, subway, buses made the hotel accessible to everything. Several nearby parks for walking and relaxing, including St. James Park and Hyde Park. Rooms and common areas were very clean. Rooms are European small but workable with excellent newer bathrooms. "continental" breakfast was really a full breakfast, self serve with a number of helpful staff. Good experience.

We have stayed in 14 different places throughout England and Scotland. Where do I begin.... This place is by far the worst! Checkin we were basically ignored and the reception guy had an attitude of he couldn't be bothered. He was uninviting and no communication. We had to drag our bags 2 flights up. There were two of us and the room was a cracker box. Only 1 hard pillow per bed so my Sister went to ask for another pillow and the reception guy gave her a hard time. The bathroom would be virtually impossible for any bigger person to fit. The shower was falling apart. There is a sign next to the sink saying unpottable water, so dont brush your teeth in the sink :((( the noise of the hotel with bangs and loud noises went on all night until morning. And then outside early morning were loud work trucks with constant beeping and banging things the whole morning. We are incredibly disappointed to say the least that this is how we spent our last night in the UK....just awful! .

Great location. Very clean. Amazing number of electrical outlets. Small rooms but no shortage of facilities - desk, cupboard, fridge, kettle, etc. Some noise from outside. Only problem for me were the stairs. No lifts. I was booked in on 4th floor. Not appropriate for older travelers unless they have very strong knees!

Good location however hotel is more like a hostel! No lifts and very steep stairs with no one to help with bags. The building also shakes regularly from 6am to 12:30am with subway noise! It badly needs refurbishment too.

Liked: 1) it's location to main Train station hub. 2) it's old style Victorian building charm 3) price was very economical Disliked: 1) the in room super small WC..the sink was nearly over the toilet, to wipe and pull up your pants you had to either come out into the room..or squeeze past the sink and use the shower area 2) the pay phone and public WC on the staircase were both out of order [for awile from the dust on the sign on both ] 3) for this warmer weather a bigger electric fan[than the small one provided] would do a better job in cooling the room

The hotel was in a lovely area . Very walkable and close to Paddington Station. Many restaurant choices and not far from Hyde Park. The hotel itself is a different story . Staff was welcoming and pleasant upon arrival. Our room was on the 3rd floor which involved walking up 4 flights of stairs. Very small room which was fine but there was no air conditioning. They did supply a small fan but windows did not open , so no chance of circulating any air. We were there on one of the hottest days of the year . Our bathroom was about a 6 to 7 inch step up from the bed and extremely small . We honestly took cold showers and left room immediately after dressing to avoid perspiring. Also non potable water in room , so we lugged water up each night .

The location of the hotel is excellent. Close to Paddington Station and underground. The staff at the reception desk are friendly and eager to help. The rooms are tiny but clean. There is no air-condition in summer and the bathroom did not smell nice. You can hear and feel the underground underneath. The staircases are steep and there is no lift. In some of the rooms the tap water was not drinkable. (According to the signs on the wall.)

One of the worst hotels I ever stayed in my international experience. Convenience factor is the only advantage. Receptionists during both the check in (Russian sounding man) and check out (Asian lady) times were unprofessional. The entrance (ground floor) stinks so badly. The room reeks of old carpet or wood smell which hits you in the face. Don’t even get me started about the bathroom.

We really like the location. SO close to Paddington station. Great food options close by. ***It was NOT good that the water in the rooms was marked NON POTABLE with a metal sign. Not temporary but the norm. I have stayed at other hotels on the row and that's not the case. It was inconvenient to have to use bottled water for brushing teeth.
