I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had some drawbacks with old sash windows but were generally comfortable and equipped with essential amenities. However, the breakfast was below average in terms of variety and size. The service was mostly good but was marred by one rude receptionist. The location was excellent for accessing Paddington and nearby attractions, although it was a bit misleading in relation to a specific event. The dining experience was passable but lacked variety at times.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, just a few minutes' walk from Paddington station and surrounded by great spots in London. The rooms were bright, clean, and had a lovely setting. The staff were helpful and really made my stay enjoyable, though there were some improvements needed. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, but overall, a great value for the price.

The hotel's location was fantastic, being quiet yet central with great access to Hyde Park and Oxford Street. The rooms were as expected for an old Victorian building, a bit small for three people but exceptionally large for the area, though a different bed arrangement would have been better. The service was friendly overall; however, there were slight delays at times. The dining options were basic and limited, not offering much variety. The sub-sidewalk level apartment location had its advantages and disadvantages.

The hotel is in a great location, close to Hyde Park, with lots of Arabic restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms were spotlessly clean, had controlled AC & heater, and the breakfast was good. However, it could get too warm at times which was a downside.
