A group of five of us stayed in this hotel for a girly break away. We originally booked the family room for four people however when an extra person decided to come with us we phoned the hotel to let them know they advised us to book an extra room as five people in one room would be too cramped....

Reason I stay here is they offer a proper full-breakfast but please check that they still do it before booking. Second reason is it is near Paddington Train Station 3rd Reason can walk to Hyde park from here about 15 mins. 4th can get a British Take-way from the Chippie (Fish and Chip Shop) around the corner : ) 5th...

I've stayed at the Cardiff twice while on business in London. The location can't be beat. You are 50 yards from Paddington Station, with access to the Heathrow Express and the fabulous London Underground. There are plenty of pubs and good restaurants in the neighborhood as well. On the downside, the rooms are very small, cold, and the wifi is... More

My room was very cold, I asked them to move me and they did it, but also the second room they gave me was quite cold, they have an electric radiator in each room, they know it... The room is small and the bathroom is ridicle, really too small,... More

This place reminded me of some of the B&Bs I stayed in while in London during the seventies. If it's luxury you're after, this place isn't for you .... the rooms are a touch old fashioned and very small (we had to close the bathroom door to get into bed) and the stairs to the 3rd floor are a bit...

As per other reviews the rooms are small but for the price and location it is great value. You only need to sleep, have a hot shower and eat breakfast and it has all of that. More
