My husband, 16 yr old daughter and myself stayed at the Westpoint Hotel 3 separate times during our tour of the UK, Ireland and France, June 19 to July 11/06. Each time the staff was very friendly and helpful. Each stay was a different room with only the second booking for one night only verging on unacceptable. The family room in the basement was hot and stuffy and leaving the window open was risky as it practically opened onto the sidewalk. Ask for an upper floor room. The rooms were small but not overly and the bathrooms were quite reasonable and very clean. The continental breakfast was basic, toast and jam, tea or coffee, and a couple slices of ham and cheese. The full English Breakfast was an additional 3 pounds. There were two computers available for free internet access for hotel guests.

The Paddington area has a lot of good features. There is a laundromat around the corner and there are a number of reasonable restaurants and pubs. Also Burger King and Subway for finicky teenagers. The train, underground and bus stops are only a block from the hotel.

The location of this hotel is good. Near Paddington station. There are also few bars and restaurants just around the corner. The arear itself is also nice and quiet.

The staff is very friendly - which is a big bonus to the hotel. And the rooms are spotlessely clean.
Hoewever there are few things that I think let it down.
The lobby is very nice, but when you go into your room, you will be a bit disappointed.
Bathrooms have been made out of a cupboard (no joke). They are tiny, smallest I've ever seen!

Breakfast is really poor. They do not have a buffet table like most of the other hotels. You can help yourself to cornflakes, and then they bring few breadrolls and a half a slice of chees and half slice of ham per person. Surely you could give at least a full slice to each guest..? Basically all you have is bread, butter and jam. Not a 3 star standard.

We stayed at this hotel because it had limited car parking at £10/ night. Next time we will come by train and try somewhere else.

We were 6 persons spending a week end in London; so we slept for 2 nights at this hotel, in 3 double rooms.
It is in a very convenient position, close to the center, a few meters far from the underground station.
Rooms were clean and comfortable, the service quite good; bathrooms really rather small.
I surely will choose it again.

I stayed at the Westpoint for 5 nights and it was reasonably comfortable and well-run. My single room on the fourth floor was small, and had a bit of a cigaretty odor left from a previous visitor, but it was very clean and not cramped, except for the bathroom (my knees hit the sink when I sat on the toilet, and I am not particularly tall). The bed was comfy and there was a hairdryer and electric kettle in the room. The breakfast, consisting of all-you-can eat cornflakes, a half-slice of ham, a slice of cheese, and a few bread rolls, kind of sucked but I'm not a huge breakfast person anyway.

My major problem was that the walls are a bit thin. Most of the time this didn't bother me, but there was an incredibly loud woman who stopped by to chat with the people staying next door to me three nights in a row, and I could hear every word she said. I ran into this woman in the lobby later and she really was a very loud talker (I never heard a peep out of the people actually staying next door) but the wall scarcely seemed to muffle the sound at all!
