Very basic accommodation but cheap for its central location, comfortable bed, and great wifi

7.0

Central location, great speedy wifi, friendly staff, comfortable room. Facilities were very basic but the bed was very comfortable and there was a small portable fan/air conditioner unit to keep things cool.

− The place is a bit run down and could do with some maintenance. Walls and floors are a bit worn, parts of the shower unit were coming loose from the wall. The TV didn’t work and there are electric leads running everywhere across the room. It’s a single-size room with a double bed put into it, so not much room to move, and the room could have done with a table. But it’s a fine basic place to stay close to central London - probably less than half the price of a lot of nearby hotels.

Die Lage - sehr nah an der Paddington Station. Bezahlbar. Auf meine online Anfrage nach einem Zimmer im Erdgeschoss gab es relativ zügig einen Anruf vom Hotel, um das zu klären.

− Kein Aufzug, nur steile Treppe mit wackeligem Geländer (immerhin hat mir jemand vom Hotel den Koffer in den 1. Stock getragen). Boden in den Zimmern (ich musste am 3. Tag umziehen...) waren recht uneben, teilweise mit kleinsten Stufen. Relativ hohe Stolpergefahr. Eingang zwischen 2 Souvenirshops ist leicht zu übersehen.

Velmi dobrá lokalita-velmi dobře dostupné metro i autobus. Pokoje dostačující (my jen přespávali),čisté. Personál milý a ochotný.

− Špatně dolehali okna, hluk z ulice. Ale dalo se vydržet.

Thank you to the managers and staff for helping me up & down the stairs with my heavy bags and temporary leg injury!

8.0

Proximity to Paddington Station was exceptional, excellent eateries & Pubs all around, and very helpful staff.

− Because of its location next to the station, it was a lively sometimes loud area. Nothing that some travel earplugs couldn’t help though! It was a good overall value and I would stay again when traveling from Paddington Station!

Staff was very friendly and helpful.

− The rooms are lacking a bit in TLC.
