Myself, wife & (adult) daughter spent 2 weekend nights at this hotel at a cost of less than £180. So that's approx £30 per night each. Yes, that's in Central London and as ever you get what you pay for. It's basic, some of the furniture is old and the odd lick of paint wouldn't go amiss in places. Cleanliness... more

This place was a real find... in trendy Paddington..... Cheap but clean, tidy and friendly. The only minus was hard beds and a train noises in the dead of night. FANTASTIC hot running water in a small bathroom. Even though it has a late check in they still stored my luggage while I explored London and they stored my luggage... more

I stayed here on two separate occasions for one night because it was the cheapest I could find and I was on a tight budget. The first room was nice enough (room 4) - clean sheets, en suite and generally neat and tidy. I simply wanted somewhere to sleep, this wouldn't be a place Id choose for a holiday (its... more
