The room is very small and there is no lift, making it difficult to reach the fourth floor. It is also quite noisy, and the water pressure is poor. The location is excellent, but I would have expected a little more for the money.

No air conditioning, but the weather was nice so it wasn’t a problem. No elevators and very tight stairs. It was extremely uncomfortable to go up and down the stairs while carrying luggage. The area around the hotel is nice and just a block away of the Paddington train station.
