Excellent place for a no frills, non-luxury stay. I was very comfortable here and, although there was no onsite restaurant or bar, my room was very clean and comfortable. It is located just a short 5-minute walk from Paddington Station, which was very convenient. I

The property is old and needs a facelift. The room was small. That being said, it was comfortable and close to everything we wanted. We were able to walk to Hyde Park, Marble Arch and Oxford St. There were great pubs close by for meals and drinks. If you aren’t looking for 5 star luxury this is a great place to stay
