Stayed here for two nights in a king room. Great location with proximity to Paddington station (800 m), and right across the road from Hyde Park. On arrival we were able to check in early. Front desk staff were very courteous and approachable. Room was very clean and fairly spacious for London standards, and we looked out towards the park. Very walkable area, with excellent access to both bus and tube access. We ate in the restaurant one night, comfy seating & atmosphere and food was quite good and comparably priced to other restaurants in London. Would stay here again.
