Very helpful staff, comfortable bed (although pillows weren't great — I'd take my own next time because I'm very fussy), fantastic shower. The air conditioning was a Godsend — London's far too noisy to want a window open! Really nice touch allowing us to leave luggage when we checked in at 1030 although room wasn't yet ready — thank you.
We reserved this hotel because of the close proximity to Paddington Station and the price was mid-range. When we arrived, they apologized and told us that the air conditioner was not working in our room and that the room we were assigned was very small, so they made arrangements for us to stay at another hotel close by (Hotel Indigo) in an upgraded room. We were fine with that since the heatwave in London made it necessary to have air conditioning.
The proximity to Paddington station is why we booked this hotel. We we're pleased with the upper class styling and feel of the room. Other hotels could have been better value if it's just a place to crash, but splitting with friends is certainly a good way to reduce costs and guarantee a nice place to stay and not worry about broken AC, toilet, or shower.
