Very easy to check-in and found the property okay. I booked with a private bathroom which was on the top floor which had steep stairs. The room I was in smelt too much of bleach but as I only slept there it was bearable. Would book again for the price!

Breakfast is quite good. One has to be pretty agile to climb up and down the narrow stairs as the building has no elevator. There is poor sound insulation. The hotel is in a very convenient location fir tourists and visitors to London.

Close to Paddington station, nice clean rooms and general area. Beds a bit dated and bathrooms are really tight still very clean. Plenty of choices healthy and favorites at breakfast. Water in the bathroom not being potable freaked my daughter out but there is a water filing station on the first floor. We were on 3rd floor, last set of stairs had an attic like feel. All in all enjoyed our short stay and breakfast.

Great location. Cramped rooms and outdated bathroom. No elevators or working fans in rooms (not even in bathroom). Anticipated small room size and walk up due to price, but the lack of ventilation was tough.

Room tiny and up several flights of stairs but functional, clean and warm. Shower worked well and TV and WiFi good. Bed fine. Small fridge in room. No air con but fan for hot weather. Lots of shops nearby.
