6/10 Good

Good location but toilet and washbasin to improve

A very small room but centrally located in Paddington which is a very big advantage and a few minutes walk from the Underground station at Paddington and also Direct connection to the London Heathrow. The toilet as well as wash basin are made where it’s both very difficult to use.

p

the overall experience was poor the room definitely needs a re paint as it is runned down. The bed is uncomfortable the walls are grubby and the bathroom was ridiculously tiny you didn’t even have space to sit on the toilet as the sink was practically on top of you- aswell no hot water from the shower just pure coldness! It was very noisy at night time too, the service wasn’t very good either we had to wait a couple hours for some extra pillows. if your looking for a cheap place to stay then stay here lol!

2/10 Poor

Not very good. Booked a deluxe double and sorry to say it was disgusting. Nothing deluxe about it. Dirty, tired and tiny. No tea coffee facilities. Moved to another room and no hot water. Moved again which was a lot better but the hotel is not clean or hygienic. For the price you pay it’s just not worth it. I come a lot on business here but will try and avoid this hotel
Harish, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

Great staff, downhill after check in… sorry 😕

I hate being negative about places but I was asked to leave a review and I’m not going to BS. The staff member I met was very nice and helpful I have nothing bad to say about him. The room cost me £50 so I wasn’t expecting the Plaza standard!

Weekend break. Would have liked to have a kettle in room. It was advertised on the website.
Jaimes, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here

Paid for 3 nights and stayed for one. The pictures are incredibly deceptive. The room wreaked of rubbing alcohol and mold which caused headaches and nausea. We kept the window open and it still didn’t help. The shower didn’t drain, the walls had smashed bugs on it, it was so small we couldn’t walk around our bed, there was a hole in the wall that was covered by the headboard. The small tv that was the size of a laptop screen didn’t work. Also didn’t come with any amenities. Staff was rude to incoming guests. Do not stay here. The only positive to this place is location. We ended up going to another hotel further away. Save yourself time and money and book a different hotel

Don’t waste your money!!!

I got there early and told to come back at three, came back and had to wait over 15 minutes for someone to come and check me in. The room was small and the shower was even worse because you had to manoeuvre yourself to get in. The mattress was terrible, could not get comfortable and had hardly any sleep, I will never go there again and would not recommend it to anybody!!

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

Not good experience

Polite reception. Clean beds. But broken toilet seat, dirty toilet bowl, strong smell of cigarettes in the room.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was good and reception also great. Unfortunately the room was having some heating issues so I had to sleep with the window open. Luckily I always travel with earplugs otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep for long time due to the noise on the street. I stayed for one night so was still good for what I needed and the price paid.
Michele, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The outside of the hotel building seems to be ok but everything inside the hotel is too old and filthy. The mattress was very old and covered in stains; so were the carpets of the room and the entire floor, actually. The floors are too old and squeaky, and so are the doors of the rooms. It is impossible to get a sleep because of the all the noises you hear from the hallway or the other rooms. Total disaster and not worth the money you pay for your stay…

Clean room, good location.

It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.

Andrea, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible stay.

Terrible stay. The room was very dirty. It smelled like cigarette smoke and cat urine. The bed sheets had a bad odor and were wrinkled, as if they had already been used. The toilet was filthy, and the sink was clogged—it would fill up while brushing my teeth. The entire bathroom had a terrible smell. The carpet was also extremely dirty.

8/10 Very good

The server on the front desk was brilliant, I had a last minute late night booking and nothing was too much trouble. The room had a blocked toilet and a lot of peeling paint!
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No blind or curtains

Was provided a room with no blinds or curtain. In summer this means being woken up by sunlight by 5:00, never mind not having privacy.
Shane, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not good

I now London budget hotels are usually compact and in the smaller side, but this places rooms are ridiculously small. The bathrooms are so small when you sit on the toilet your head goes in the sink. Plus dont stay in this place in summer. It will be a sun trap and ridiculously hot coffin for you.

Me marche al segundo día.

Tuve que marcharme al segundo dia porque estaba sucio, había que pagar aparte para que limpiaran tu habitación, el lavabo era un asco y no cabía una persona sentada en el WC ni en la ducha!
