Great Apartment and Location in London
Had stayed at Paddington Apartments on a previous visit to London and there has been one major improvement (to an already good venue) since then. The electronic check-in/key eliminates the need to trek over to their main office to check in and get a key, saving a lot of time. We had a minor issue with the smoke alarm in our room beeping due to a dying battery. We contacted the office and by the time we got back to the room that evening, it had been repaired, which was much appreciated. The room was small, but had the essentials - three beds, efficiency kitchen and complimentary bottles of water. Great location near Paddington Station and plenty of pubs within walking distance, as well as a short walk to Hyde Park. I'd stay here again.

Good stay
The check-in process is a pain. You have to go to a different hotel (about an 8 euro taxi ride each way). But, the room was very comfortable and spacious. Used the laundry machines and they worked fine but took forever (bring about 6 pounds per load based on our experience). Good neighborhood. Walked to the Thai restaurant nearby and it was quite good. Would stay again

Had a fridge, hot water kettle, 3 super hard beds. But it was one poorly laid out room that felt claustrophobic, it was turn of the century basic. Worlds smallest shower.And not sure if they were kids wrestling being crazy loud and noisy or if it was something else…. It made us get out and see the city since it was sad to be there. It met our needs and that was it. We were happy to check out.

Amazing little find. Locating the property to collect the keys is a little awkward as the property address is located on a square which just seems to go on and one but once located a short walk to the apartment. The area was lovely and had lots of little convenience shops, mcdonalds (for our morning cup of coffee) and pubs and restaurants. The property it self was great for just putting our heads down and getting some sleep. The bed was really comfy but the shower was a little small for my 6ft 1 husband but he managed :)

I guess just a place to sleep
Pretty disappointing place, while it was quiet from the traffic it wasn't so quiet from the other people. The shower room was way too small, repeatedly knocking my knee into the sink whilst using the toilet, which was pretty grubby. The sink and shower itself didnt drain properly and barely got anything more than luke warm water. The mattress for the double bed needed to be thrown years ago, no support at all and lumpy as anything. Amongst other things, the spare duvet was stained and had a burn hole in it, the blind covering the window didn't work, air con barely worked, extractor fan for bathroom didn't work and there were water stains above the door. In all, we were pretty disappointed as the pictures of the other rooms looked much more spacious compared to the one we had in the basement. There is no way the room we had was for 4 people. The design was terrible.

OK for a Few Days
Comfortable and quiet. Not recommended for long stays. GOOD: * Very clean sheets and towels * Good cleaning * Good hot water * Good appliances: microwave over, toaster, hob (no oven,) TV (no cable), small fridge/freezer * Quiet room (first floor, back of building) * High ceilings * Walking distance from park, tube/buses/train, etc. * Management was professional and receptive upon reservation and accommodated our requests BAD: * Somewhat shady area (probably due to closeness of station) * Insufficient kitchen utilities (no broom, no kitchen towels, no washing-up detergent.) * Tiny freezer full of frost/ice * Coin washing machine and dryer were defective (there was no warning of this) * Metallic towel drying rack installed in bathroom can cause considerable burns * No reasonable way to hold window or curtains open * Cleaning person never seems to have days off * No reception area or staff * Only one room key provided (we did not request a second one; buzzer downstairs was out of order) * Bathroom sink clogs often

Tired and in need of maintenance!
Honestly, a little disappointing. General condition of the property can be described as tired, broken floor tiles, loose door handles, balcony in disrepair and very dirty. Beds not comfortable at all, small TV on the wall, musty smell in the hallway. The bathroom door opens awkwardly into the radiator. By far the most disappointing aspect was the cleanliness, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the black kitchen worktops. Area of the apartment is just ok, there are student dorms in the same square, lots of litter and rubbish bags outside, as well as its general vicinity to Edgware road and Paddington. I was fortunate in that I used a rewards night to bring the cost down, but I'd have been upset at paying full price.

I liked the location. The remote check-in site is not ideal. But I knew that going in, so that does not deserve a negative review. The first floor front facing room at street level was not acceptable, though. I was unable to open my curtains throughout my stay. Upon my arrival in the room, when I saw the situation, I immediately called reception to request to be moved to another room. This was at 2pm, the beginning of checkin time, so there were other rooms available. I was told on the phone by the person who had just sent me over to the room that there was nothing she could do... that I was stuck with this room with a window that opened on the sidewalk for all pedestrians on the public, busy street to look in.

Not too bad for what it cost
Lots of facilities in a small space. Bed was pretty firm which obviously some people but not myself. Location was good. Although it should be noted that it was a 10 minute brisk walk to check in and then another 10 minute brisk walk back to the actual apartment. Other than that for the price it was very agreeable

Fair hotel, good price, passable service
Good clean apartment. Couldve used cleaner towels. Also, checkin was in a completley different building which i would not have known if i had not contacted hotels.com staff. This would be solved had the site provided a contact email and sent along a confirmation/FAQ email. Location was perfect though.

Spacious Studio
Clean and very spacious studio which was surprisingly quiet given it was right next to the lift. Mounted flat screen TV was way too small for the size room as was the shower. Studio is ideally located for easy access to Paddington Station just 5 minutes walk away. We stayed over a weekend and it was a pity about the garbage stacked up at the front of the building.

It was a nuisance checking in from a remote location. It would have been better if at check-in a realistic assessment of the distance that had to be walked was provided.Bit difficult with a 25kg suitcase computer and handbag!.

I picked this property because it was located very near Paddington Station and I was coming to London from overseas. When I turned up there was just a locked door - no reception area. I managed to track down a number to call and was told that check in was 9 minutes walk away. I was also told that I had been sent an email with those instructions. That email never arrived. I spent an hour getting to and from the the check in location before I made it to my room. The shower was virtually inoperable as well.

Great location, average digs, long walk to get key
Be aware of small print that advises you need to pick up key from different address - so close proximity to Station is irrelevant if you need to lug bags on a 30 minute walk to get keys.

The reception was at another address which was not made clear on the reservation confirmation this meant we spent 30 minutes outside banging on the door until a maid told us where we needed to go. But the room was clean enough and the location is very convenient for the relatively low cost.

Not in the area I had booked, but otherwise ok.
I was moved to a different equivalent apartment, 1km away from where I booked my stay. There was no cleaning in the apartment for the entire week, and no cleaning supplies (brooms or anything) in the apartment. Apart from that, the apartment was adequate.
