Friends had stayed here and they recommended the location. But when we arrived the room was grubby and the staff curt. Strange how this hotel is always offering deals???? because it has to. For the money I would rather have paid another £30 for a comfortable clean night's sleep. More

i have stayed in this hotel twice and was quite pleased with it. it is located in a very good area, very close to an underground station (Paddington), which is one of the most important things for me, when searching for a hotel. i have to be honest and say that i didn't expect a 5 star hotel when paying...

we ended up needing to stay in london for an extra night, and had to make a booking just so we could get 5 more hours sleep. no other hotel could take us, so we walked along paddington until we found the brunel hotel. the woman on reception was so fantastic and welcoming, it was wonderful. the room was very...

The double room was so tiny we had to store one backpack on top of the cupboard in order to be able to move - the other we placed under the desk. The cupboard could only be opened 20 cm. The carpet looked like something from World War II - very dirty. The window could not hold open - we... More

The hotel is a few steps away from Hyde park and from Paddington making it a good location. The hotel is basic. I only stayed there once and had a room in the basement. I could clearly hear the underground passing near by... so avoid the basement ! More

I must say I stayed for one night only. We needed a hotel in Central London, easy to access from Heathrow airport. I agree with all the bad reviews, but don´t forget that you are in London. You are supposed to sleep in a shoebox. We took the Heathrow Express from the airport, and the Paddington station is just 10... More

We were 2 female friends on a weekend break. We had read the negative reports about this hotel but could find nothing else for the two days we wanted and so booked and decided to keep an open mind. The location cannot be faulted and from the outside the hotel looks just fine, but our room was like a shoebox,... More

I didn't expect a lot from a hotel of this price in London, in fact I just wanted soemwhere to sleep, the small rooms didn't bother me. Upon checking in I was asked if I'd like to pay, said I'd rather pay on checkout, no - they wanted the money up-front, this worried me a little as they had my... More
