I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's location is fantastic, especially if you're traveling through Heathrow airport, and it's central to Paddington station and underground for easy transport links. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, making you feel right at home. The breakfast was a delight, and I can't wait to come back for more. The dining experience had its flaws with some old croissants, but the assorted fruits were a nice touch. Overall, it was a great value for money, and I enjoyed my time here.

The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington tube station, making it easy to access central London. The rooms, though on the small side for a family of four, are clean and offer shared bathroom facilities. The service was friendly overall, despite a slight issue with understanding a gluten-free request. The location is pleasant, with the Diana Memorial statue just a short walk away. The dining experience, featuring scrambled eggs at a higher rate and with loud music, may not suit all tastes. Overall, the value for money is reasonable for the amenities provided.
