My stay at the hotel had its highlights and drawbacks. The location was excellent, being close to Paddington Station and the London Underground, but there were plenty of other hotels in the area. The rooms fell short of my expectations as they were not as booked, lacking a bath and a double bed, and the radiator was stuck on. On the bright side, the service was pleasant overall, despite one incident of staff entering my room without permission. Dining had its ups and downs, with breakfast being adequate but served with a less than welcoming attitude if arriving slightly late. The facilities were satisfactory, offering what was needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is conveniently close to Hyde Park and other London attractions, but I felt uneasy with some odd characters around. The rooms were freezing cold and the shower curtain rail was broken, yet clean with a decent decor and size for one person. The service was a mix of helpfulness and odd encounters, with a good price for a two-night stay but strange claims about leaving trays outside causing issues. The location was central, near an underground station and restaurants, and a short distance to Hyde Park and Oxford Circus. I found the dining experience simple yet pleasant, especially with quick service and friendly staff. Price reasonable for the simple 3-star accommodation. The facilities were basic but served the purpose. Free Wi-Fi would have been a nice addition.

The hotel is centrally located in London, ideal for easy access to train and tube stations, with good eateries and public transport nearby. The rooms were okay but lacked some expected inclusions like a bath mat and tea/coffee provisions. The service was indifferent overall and there were concerns about leaving service trays outside rooms. The dining experience was good with friendly staff, although the breakfast portions were not very generous.

The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington, making it easy to access the bus and tube stations. It's a short walk to winter wonderland in Hyde Park, which is perfect for catching up with friends. The room was on the top floor without an elevator, which was a bit of a challenge. The breakfast service was helpful and the breakfast itself was plentiful and hot, but there was a slight incident with the staff asleep on the couch during check-out.

The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station, making it a great spot for exploring London. The rooms were spacious enough for a group of four adults, although being in the basement next to the breakfast room made them a bit dark and warm. The service was mixed, with some friendly interactions but also instances of unresponsiveness and lack of helpfulness. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the breakfast offered was decent. Overall, a decent choice for those looking for a budget-friendly stay with a central location.
