The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was fine, and the check in staff was courteous and helpful. If that’s all you’re looking for in a hotel that’s a close walk to Paddington, this will work for you. If you want some amenities or to feel like you’re staying in a nice place, I’d look elsewhere. Good hotel for the money for a bed and a shower. I left too early for breakfast. ##### Drew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Can’t say enough positive about our stay.
