I stayed here for two nights because of its relatively low rates and proximity to Paddington, to get me into Heathrow quickly. I write his review bearing in mind the cost and quality of other hotels in London. Sussex Gardens is located about a 5-minute walk from Paddington Station and is easy to find. The guy at reception was very... more

This is a small hotel in a good location - close to Paddington station and short walk to city centre. Our room was small but very clean and there was adequate storage for a short break. The bathroom was tiny but again, spotlessly clean, and the shower was always hot. Good English breakfast, and friendly, helpful staff. Only criticism is... more

This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed in. I am writing to complain big time about this hotel. We had a terrible experience in this hole of a hotel. The beds were miserably uncomfortable, the pillows were like rocks and when someone came into the neighboring rooms, it sounded like they were entering ours. On top of all... more

Arrived in this quaint hotel June 2006 for 3 day stay. We found the staff most accommodating and friendly. The manager very easy to chat to and get information about London. The Hotel was in a great location for access to the underground and Hyde Park and there are a number of tourist attractions within a reasonable walking distance of... more

I was looking for a hotel for one night close to Paddington so I could get the Heathrow Express early in the morning. It is in Sussex Gardens which is full of such places, but it had the best room rate I could find (£59 inc breakfast). First impressions were a bit iffy - reception is a small basic room... more

My son and I stayed in a twin room for two nights. Although we were quite surprised at the small size of the room, we realise that this is quite common for a city B&B. And although the bathrooms were small 'pods' in the corner of each room, there was everything in it that we needed. The room was clean,... more

Don't even think about booking a room here. I did, arrived to check in with my booking reference number and was told by the totally unapologetic or sympathetic immigrant manning the desk that there was no room booked for me, or one available, i.e. tough[---] Two hours later they sent a cancellation email to my home address (60 miles away!).... more

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel. Overall I'd say the hotel was not worth the money, as you can surely find cheaper and more worthwhile budget accommodation in the same area. On previous occasions I have stayed in nearby hotels that were more pleasing and less expensive. Granted, a budget hotel in central London serves a very specific purpose:... more

We were put on a 1 persons bedroom (each day there was only 1 towel and the maid was surprised there were 2 poeple on the room because it was only used for 1 person)with 2 persons at the front. We requested a room at the back. Breakfast is horrible (for the english one, continental is non existent). All springs... more
