DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, EXTREMELY DIRTY AND FULL OF BUGS. We booked last minute due to train cancellations so were desperate and booked the first hotel we found that was close to the station. The bathroom was full of black mould, we didn't feel comfortable using the shower as it was so dirty. We went out to buy dry shampoo rather than showering there. There were cockroaches everywhere too. AVOID

nice people...but i had to ask for a chair (there was none in the room) and for a water glass (there was none ... and he gave me a cardboard coffee cup)...room was cleaned only once in a six night stay, and then the maid left the dirty wet towels on the floor and did not even replace the toilet paper (which i had to ask for)....lumpy creaky bed

TV didnt work, bathroom needed a good scrubbing, there was not tea/coffee in room, reception were unhelpful to the point of being surly and sour, did raise matters with reception who merely said they would have to see their manager who was not around - this hotel needs to be inspected by the health authority - avoid at all costs you are better off sleeping rough than staying here

Worst hotel I’ve been
The worst hotel. Old, small stairs, no lift, felles toilet on the third floor, room is small, walls and windows were broken, mye støy, broken electric fan. We change our room to the Ground floor with own bathroom and tiny fan. Område er utrygt and you can smell weeds around the area. Not worth the price, although its located close to the train station.

Ideally suited to arrivals from Paddington, great access to all the sights with underground & bus routes right outside your door. Great variety of good value places to eat on your doorstep and lovely area around the river and park to chill. Rooms were very compact but everything you needed if you are looking for a base to explore London on a budget. Staff were very helpful and amenable providing left luggage facility. Would definitely stay again.

Thankfully it was not as bad as some of the reviews suggested but it was still the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Booking in a rush and I didn't read the reviews before hand but I honestly don't really know how this is allowed to function as a hotel, the beds were the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on, the carpets were filthy and the bed sheets werent super clean. We were moved rooms after our door wouldn't lock and their offer to fix it in the morning wasn't accepted...the new room was better but still very very lacking...the windows didn't shut properly so banged constantly in the wind, there were stains all over the walls and carpets and the walls were paper thin. I did sleep alright but mainly due to the fact I was so tired The location was really clsoe to Paddington which was great but I really wouldn't recommend this hotel, it really felt like a youth hostel that should be about £20 a night...

While i wasn't expecting a five star notel, this inn is very dirty and unkept. The tv advertised in the room is tiny and doesnt work. There is no battery in the tv remote control, no rubbish bin in the room just to mention a few. I won't be going to this in again

The hotel is really well located for Paddington Station and very well priced for London, but you really don’t get much for your money! My room was on the lower ground floor beside the street, and I was woken during the night several times by different noises. Someone arrived at the hotel early in the morning and had a loud confrontation with the receptionist right outside my window which made it hard to get back to sleep. The surfaces of the bedside tables were sticky and the place felt very unclean. Then, as I was leaving in the morning, I noticed a small cockroach run across the carpet! I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you really need somewhere, although with a bit of love it has the potential to be a good hotel.

WORST HOTEL- DO NOT STAY- revolting.
I work work in central London during the week and stay in a variety of hotels. I have to say this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Ground floor room, bedroom wall paper falling off all walls, bedding was itchy toilet was absolutely revolting, looked like a seagull had exploded over the window. Shower was tiny and you had to walk sideways to squeeze in and then nowhere to hang a towel so had to rest it on the door handle. Totally horrid, thought about checking out and finding somewhere else. Hotels.com I am angry that you have listed this and thoughts now on your quality.
