Great base for exploring London
Great location near Paddington station with lots of shops and early openings. Room was just manageable for 5. Bunk beds are best for younger kids and need a bit of maintenance. Bathroom was lux! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Easy in. Easy out. If you’re arriving to London at Heathrow Express Paddington and need a place to crash for the night, this is ideal. The staff was friendly and the room clean.

Reasonably priced hotel in excellent location for transportation. The room was clean and bathroom well equipped with heated floor!
