Short walk to Paddington Station, the connection to Heathrow Airport via the Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express. Able to walk all through historic London and back again. Included a full breakfast. Kept our luggage until ready to check in. Only issue was the rumbling of the Metro line felt like a small earthquake every 5 minutes or so. Stopped overnight so didn't interfere with sleep. Able to get used to it.

Found it VERY unusual that the water was not potable. Required purchasing bottled water. On my first stay, I was given a room requiring me to climb 60 steps. The higher I went, the narrower the steps became. There was not an adequate handrail at the top of the last stairs. I had to carry my suitcase up. It was difficult. When I left the first time, I requested a room on a lower floor for my two more stays. I was placed in quiet rooms on the main/registration floor and was OK with that.

Like all the hotels in this area it's converted houses with lots of stairs and rooms on several floors. My room was small but as described. The hotel generally seems clean and well maintained. Breakfast was better than I expcted. Overall the hotel was good value for London

The room was super tiny. I knew it was going to be small I didn’t realize how small. There was a bad smell that came from the bathroom but closing the door stopped the smell from getting into the already tiny room. The staff was amazing. And the location to everything was great as well. I don’t know if I would stay there again or not. No elevator and we were put on the 3rd floor.

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! .

Needs some serious renovation. The mattress was not comfortable. The bathroom difficult to maneuver. Serves its purpose for 1 nite.
