“basic but EXCELLENT value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

very basic but clean and fabulous value! got a room in london for around £30. right near paddington tube. would stay again for the value of the place. room was tiny and so was bathroom but bed was comfy and it is cheaper but much nicer than a hostel. good for when we have something on in london and dont want to get the last train home. bit of noise from other rooms but for the price we wouldnt complain. we paid for a room with a window which was abit of a waste as it was frosted and didnt open. there is good a/c in the rooms!

Dear Guest,

Thank you for a writing a sweet review!!

Well observed – ‘Basic but Excellent Value’. The hotel is no-frill but we’d like the service and guest experience to be perfect. I’m glad to know you had a good experience overall. Just give the reception a call for anything you may need next time.

So will we have another chance to serve you in future? Looking forward to that..
Warm regards,
Abida.

“On a budget? Good place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

I want to caveat that my review is based on a combination of price and hotel quality. What I mean by that is that the easyHotel is not a Ritz Carlton - so don't come to this hotel thinking it is a steal of a price with Ritz type of service. But, if you are traveling with friends or family, here are some key things you will want to know about this hotel:

1. The location is very good. You are just a block from Paddington station - but the block is nice, clean and safe. There are pubs and restaurants all around the hotel - but not right under or immediately next to it. This means you won't have drunken people wandering around and making noise outside the hotel at all hours.

2. The rooms are clean.

3. The price is great given it's location.

4. There is a 24 hour desk attendant. So you feel safe knowing someone is always on duty or can answer any of your questions.

There are some things you need to accept in the hotel given the price you are paying. I found them not to be an issue - but others could:

A. You get a bathroom with a shower, beds, and an optional TV. No dresser. No night stand. No big sink to lay out all of your toiletries. For me, I want to go and see London and just have a place to come back and sleep. If you are the type of traveler who likes to lounge in the hotel room for a while, just keep in mind the easyHotel is a "bare minimum" room.

B. The door to the hallway seems a bit thin. So you can hear people who come and go in the hallway. However, keep in mind that the hallway doesn't have dozens of rooms in it. Probably at most you share a hallway with 6 other rooms. So I only heard one or two people come and go during the night and it wasn't an issue for me.

C. You pay for anything that isn't a bed or bathroom. Want a television? Costs extra. Want fresh towels every day? That costs more too. This didn't bother me at all either since I was only there for 3 nights. But other guests may be put off by it.

I had a room on the top floor in the back which was extremely quiet (not next to a street and you just overlooked rooftops of buildings).

So, I will definitely stay at the easyHotel again given the price and location. If you are on a budget - staying a few days - and want something more than a Hostel but don't need all the frills of a fancy hotel - you should consider staying here as well.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for a detailed review on your recent stay with us.

I totally agree with you, ‘you get what you pay for’ that’s what our website says too. Easy Hotel Paddington is a no-frill hotel. But there are many other plus points to it – one of them is the location. As you noticed we are located in the heart of London near all the tourist attraction and business venues. It’s convenient for guests visiting London for leisure or business purposes. Second plus point is that we're connected to all the important transport links. One can travel in and around London very easily - less time & less cost. These are few points which make Easy Hotel Paddington unique than any other no-frill hotel in Central London.

We have taken note of all your suggestions and observations mentioned in the review. Once again, we thank you for your contribution. Hope to see you soon!!
Abida.

“cheap but quality was disapointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

I stayed here for a night whilst i was at an awards ceremony, and it was very convenient and cheap.

The large amount of Orange is a little offputting especially waking up after a late night.

It really is very basic and seems a little tired and as if all they have done is paint it with a fresh coat of Orange.

compared to Tune Hotels which are in the same price category, this does not come close.

The bed was also a little lumpy and cheap quality.

The shower was also very low.

Room Tip: I was with a room with no windows so was in the basement.... ceiling was low - thus so was shower.

“Shocker”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

I stayed here in November and can advise that this place is a shocker. The hotel itself is fine and clean though I think 'hotel' is pushing the description, I would more look at it as a glorified backpackers with tiny private rooms. Very meagre offerings although that is made clear on the website (where you pay extra for a window for example!)

The worst thing about this place is the service. You have to pay for everything which is fine but in the case like mine where the remote I paid for didnt work, they accused me of lying rather than investigate the problem. The tv turned out to be broken which is why the remote wouldnt work but had the comment "well noone else has complained" said to me twice. So apparently people if you want to be taken seriously with a complaint or comment at this hotel.. get someone else to say it too!

Very rude and completely uncaring toward their guests, heard the reception being rude to several people and so all up the cheaper price doesnt outweigh the experience.

Never ever again and cannot recommend this 'hotel'

Dear Lee,

Thank you for reviewing us on TripAdvisor.

As you’ve mentioned in the review that the website describes the hotel as it is to avoid high or low expectations. We’re sorry to hear your experience with the reception staff. That was indeed wrong and not the kind of customer service Easy Hotel Paddington promotes on a daily basis. It’s clear; we were not at our best. We appreciate your highlighting the gray areas. Kindly accept our apology for the inconvenience caused during your stay.

Kind regards,
Abida.

“It's OK if you know what you are booking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Been here for 3 nights in last September. The hotel (as everybody must know) is very small, rooms are tiny, with no furniture at all, only a hook to hang your clothes. AC and TV worked well. I got a twin room, even though I was alone, and suggest this to everyone staying at this hotel.
