The property needs some updating in furniture, pains and the sealing of the rooms needs to be cleaned as there were old dust, but the room and bathroom itself was clean. The breakfast was the best. Staying in room was not comfortable as the underground was laud and shaking the window and made noise, which I really couldn’t have a good sleep there.

Amazing area. Plenty of indian and Turkish restaurants near by. Managed to get a private room at an amazing price. had a weird interaction where I was woken up from my sleep and asked if I was making noise/ heard a noise. kind of off-putting but decent stay otherwise.

The room was a little in disrepair. They could not guarantee the safety of my luggage. There was no lift, and they did not offer to move my luggage up there. Second floor is 4 flights.

the hotel is about 5 minutes walk to paddington station. fastfood and coffee shop are also within 5 minutes walk. however, the hotel has no elevator so i have to carry my two 50-pounds luggages from the street to lobby then from lobby second floor where my room is located. i felt helpless during my stay there

We were on the top floor and it’s a long way up! If you have any mobility issues please be aware. It was quite a noisy hotel in the evening from other guests. I am not sure if we were unlucky but i expected it to be quieter in the family rooms. The hotel is run down although the beds were very comfy. The shower got hot after running for 5 minutes so be patient. The kettle can only be plugged in if you put it on the floor. I thought this was a significant safety hazard for families with young children. I wouldn’t stay here again for the price we paid although the location to central london and paddington was excellent.

Pathetic small rooms at high price . No elevator in a 3 floor hotel. Breakfast not included. Staff discourteous and rude. No ahampoo in bathroom. Scant soapn! If the hotel was not at walking distance from the Paddington station would have changed it.

You have what you pay for. I travel to London once or twice a year and always stay in budget hotels in Norfolk Square for the price and location. This was my 1st time to stay in the Shakespeare and I would definitely book again. Our room was clean and spacious, the shower was hot, there was a fridge, the bed was comfy, a tasty continental breakfast including scrambled eggs and beans included in the room price, staff were friendly and helpful. Yes you can hear the tubes under the flooring on the ground and basement rooms but thats sort of obvious when your on top of one of the biggest tube station networks in London nothing that a good sleeper or a pair of ear plugs cant sort out

For the price we paid it is a great choice for hotel. Excellent location. Just around the corner from the T. Breakfast was very nice. Staff was very attentive. I see others complaining about stairs. But common it is an old building. Very charming. Yes there is no elevator. But not a big deal for me. Rooms were tidied every day. We really enjoyed it. Although walls are a bit thin.

It’s at a good location near Paddington station and almost good deal for the price. But my bagels were nibbled away by mice/rats on the fourth floor room which seemed to be quite surprising.

I was returning from a long flight that got in late. I booked a room to overnight in London. The Square is charming as are the staff. I'm returning in March 25 and will definitely be booking again. Do include the breakfast option as it is great value for money. I found the reception staff and breakfast room staff helpful and friendly.
