Ok for 1 night, nothing more!

On arrival I was asked by the foreign receptionist for my passport. I told him I have come from Ipswich so why would I have it on me? He kept asking for it and I kept saying I haven't got it. After a long time he (thankfully) just carried on with checking me in all of ONE night! Breakfast was basic but fine and room was small but ok for one night.

Great hotel near Paddington station

We stayed for a couple of night's and the hotel was excellent. We had a basement twin room, air conditioning. The free breakfast is also really good. The area is really nice close to Paddington Station. Plus Hyde Park is in walking distance.
