Thanks for the email dated 02.06.2013. We couldn't reply to earlier since after London we went to Zurich and Switzerland and we just came back on 09.06.2013. Our stay at Padington Hotel,was truly memorable and we thoroughly enjoyed the same. The location was superb and hospitality of all the staff, at reception in the breakfast room etc. was very good....

I stayed in this house of horror in march 2013 for 4 days , and it was the worst days of my life. The room was tiny with a very cheap bed mattress , the windows do not close properly and the central heating not working and it was freezing in london in the end of march . The room... More

Bathroom was TINY but apart from that very comfortable and friendly. Was expecting the worst after reading the reviews but it was completely adequate. Close to Paddington tube, restaurants everywhere, and a simple but nice breakfast :) I don't know what people expect for £80 p/n in central London!

A low class hotel with some failures, yes, but considering the location and the price I do not think you should expect more in London. I have been to London about 10 times, and it is hard to find a cheep, central hotel without sharing toilet/bathroom, and also breakfast is not always included. Falures was things as: Tiny space, old... More

Abolutely shocking hotel with terrible customer service! The rooms are grim and the bathrooms are terrible. We paid for an en-suite bathroom only to find in the morning that our shower didn't even work! I know from overhearing other guests outside our room that they also had the same problem. We reported it to reception and asked for a refund... More

Room small, bed could feel every spring in the mattress. Washroom bin still had waste in it, shower no pressure did not feel confident that if shampooed hair would be able to rinse hair enough. Toilet was private but had to cross the hall to get to it, privacy was provided by use of padlock on the door. TV on... More

This is the worst hotel. Indifferent clerks at the reception desk. A filthy room. Housekeeping , if they did "do" our room, didn't clean the bathroom, change our sheets or vacuum. The shower was backwards so when you took a shower water sprayed all over everything. The toilet was placed in a nook and partially under the sink so one... More

At first, I was a bit worried that So Paddington would be very disappointing, due to the bad reviews on Tripadvisor. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel to be quite the opposite. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the location was very central, and the service was excellent.

We stayed for one night and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone, we got offered a basement room as we had to check in late where we could hear everyone moving about upstairs. The room was cold and poorly decorated. There was also a back door leading on to an open court outside which wouldn't lock properly, which wasn't very... More
