The hotel is located at the opposite end of paddington station and with not much to go on it was at the end of a row of office buildings. I was asked to use chip and pin to verify my card for booking which annoyed me as I never saw any other guest asked to do this nor have I... More

I was there together with my wife for a weekend. We did enjoy the very clean rooms very much. The location is very nice, near Paddington station and Little Venice. Onyl 5 minutes walk from underground station, quiet area (no hostels with young students nearby). The breakfast is very tasty, the cleanliness at the restaurant could be a ittle bit... More

I picked this hotel as a member of the ACCOR Advantage Plus scheme so able to get greater value in terms of the hotel room for a location close to Paddington station and my Heathrow Express required the next morning. The directions to the hotel make it easy to find and a nice walk along the canal and options for... More

After traveling half way across the world I wanted a good quality hotel for a few days in London to recover from the jet lag. The Novotel is in a lovely location at Paddington basin with some decent eateries and a sainsbury's local close by. Despite being right next to the flyover, the room was very quiet and comfortable.

This hotel was in an excellent location for the Heathrow Express and any train travel via Paddington Station. The room was spacious and quiet. The breakfast was more than adequate and good value. The staff very friendly and helpful with regard to any queries we had. Would stay here again.

The hotel looks stunning and modern on the outside, even the reception desk and the breakfast bar. But this is the end of the positives for me. The staff was unfriendly and demanded to take a deposit from the credit card even though I did not want to use a mini bar. The room was small, very dark and did... More

If you're only in London for a couple of days and you want to use the Paddington Express to get to and from Heathrrow this hotel works nicely. It's a little tricky to find at first (especially at night) but it's an easyy enough walk to the stationn. It's a very moderrn hotel with zero charm but the rooms are... More

This is a clean modern hotel that is offers unfussy accommodation in a fantastic location. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, and despite overlooking the main line into Paddington the sound proofing is excellent. Food is fairly standard but well prepared. Overall this would be a good choice for a business or leisure stay however the price is high... More
