“I liked the location and rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

We were shifted from another hotel hence had an upgrade to club rooms. Our room was in basement and went through narrow corridors. The windows were facing the staircase outside to ground floor. But room interior did look very nice with mahogany colored wood, flat tv, tea coffee machine etc. bed was comfortable. Close to small grocery and other shops and paddington station, wld recommend this place

Room Tip: If possible get a room in ground or above floors

“DO NOT STAY HERE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

I looked at the pictures of the hotel and also read the reviews. Many complained about small rooms but the pictures on the website looked fine to me. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. The room allocated to me was 6ft x 8ft. It is the smallest hotel room I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. The pictures of the hotel totally misrepresent the rooms. To cap it all, the TV did not work. The room was so small that I had to step out of the room while the TV engineer went in to try to fix the TV. You have been warned!

Room Tip: Book another hotel !

Dear Guest,

Thank you for choosing to stay at the Best Western Shaftesbury Paddington Court London.

Unfortunately our standard rooms can sometimes seem small due to the nature of the hotel and it’s design, however we do have larger doubles and studio suites available that I’m certain you would find much more comfortable.

Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience caused to you and we hope to have a welcoming back to you to our property in near future.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on 02077451200.

“A little gem at a good price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I was shown to a room in the hotel (same company) just around the corner which was apparently an upgrade, which of course I was pleased about. I'd heard that the rooms can be small in the 'main hotel' (through Tripadvisor). It was great! Really well designed and good use of space. It wasn't small and was very comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I shall always stay here when I'm up in town for the evening.

Room Tip: Get upgraded to the hotel around the corner!

“Tiny rooms, staff could definitely be friendlier”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

After being moved here from the Shaftesbury Hyde Park Intnl becuase this was full (I called to day before arrival to double check the booking being told everything was ok) we were "welcomed" by two less than friendly receptionists. They managed to check us in though, and after finding our way through a maze (what will happen if there's a fire is beyond me) we found our TINY rooms. The standard is ok though with basically everything you need in a room. Problem is it's so small and the only place big enough to open your suitcase is if you lay it on the bed. All in all, I would not recommend this hotel or the Shaftesbury chain (based on two hotels/overall service).
