How they even call this a hotel? It's the worst place I've ever stayed. They put me on the top floor and there is no elevator. I wonder if my room was ever cleaned. Please don't stay here as there are lots of options near Paddington train/tube station. More

I'm American and had a six hour flight in order to get to the UK, but when I saw this hotel I wanted to turn right back around and see if I could get a flight back that night. I feel skeezy just looking at the bed, the desk wobbles. Free WiFi is a joke because I MAYBE can load... More

This was probably a bit of a last resort, as the Swiss were in town for the football. Was given a room on the top floor and as usual looked for fire exits, but the exit was the same main staircase we had just come up. The fire cupboard contained a ladder for climbing out through a skylight on to... More

Hilton was resolute on £150 a room (used the hotel at a friend's expense ... and lovely if you check in early enough to use the... More

Please avoid this hotel. Extremely untidy, old furniture, dust and dirt everywhere! Furniture is possibly picked up in a dump. Breakfast was terrible. When a cup dropped on the floor the hotel staff just picked it up and put back on table... Very noisy. More

The entrance, staircase and bedroom carpets were threadbare and had not seen a hoover this year, the walls in the same areas needed a coat of paint. The room description said there were tea and coffee facilities in the room (not in our room or any of our friends), the curtains just about reached each side of the window. Toilet... More
