Thank you ‘Tracey25gould’ for reviewing our newest hotel. Firstly let me apologise for the delay in responding. As we have only just purchased this hotel it takes time for Tripadvisor to register the change of ownership and grant access to the management account. We took over the hotel in 8 weeks ago and I believe you made your reservation with... More

This hotel gave nothing that was promised to us. It wasn't what we expected,and way too overpriced. A lot of things were broken and not repaired at our room. The breakfast was really simple and not a lot of choice. The service wasn't friendly enough.

Thank you ‘IA’ for you review. We have just taken over the hotel when you stayed and we inherited many problems from the previous owners many of which we have addressed. We are planning a full refurbishment of the hotel once the relevant permissions have been granter from the local authority. More

Booked this hotel through a booking website as we thought we would have a weekend in London so just wanted something cheap. It was awful. The room (room 3) was small and i wouldn't say it was very clean. There were wires everywhere and they were all plugged into an extension that was just left on the floor. The bed... More

Booked for an overnight theatre visit. Room tiny, really tiny. Toilet jammed in a small space, shower no use for an adult. Toilet and seat were soiled. No additional pillows available and the overnight porter couldnt be bothered to tell us, just left us waiting after midnight in case he arrived. Very offhand attitude. Breakfast room tiny and cramped. Ran... More

The good – it is in a good location. Several blocks from Paddington station which has access to underground, National rail services and the express train from Heathrow. There are a number of restaurants in the vicinity as well as quickie stores for basics. It is a short walk to Hyde Park. They have reliable Wi-Fi service. This is not... More

The only good thing about this hotel is location - it is only a few minutes walk from a zone 1 tube station and the top of Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. As for the rest of the hotel experience - abysmal. The photos provided to/displayed on the website we booked through (laterooms.com) were a universe away from the reality. Reality =... More

We walked past the hotel first as the entrance is so tiny we didn't notice it. The stairs are narrow and uneven and very steep the door to the room is very narrow, if we were larger people we wouldn't have for through! I knew it was going to be a bad room as my boyfriend opened the door and... More

Stayed one night last week at this hotel. Very reasonably priced in a great location. Room was very compact but sufficient for a single traveller. Free wi-fi was a bonus and should be commended. If I am on a budget (and on my own) would definitely stay again.

I was staying with my family 18-20nov 2011, and we where very disapointed with our stay. Maybe this for people used to stay in a one or two star hotel but this was not according to what I have read on the website. The only good was the quiet road outside and close to underground and Hyde Park. But the... More
