Close to 2 Bayswater and Queensway tubes. Paddington station about 20 minute walk (or 1 station away on tube), so a good option for the Elizabeth Line to or from the airport. Great proximity to Kensington Gardens, Notting Hill, Holland Park, Little Venice. Friendly staff. Quiet. Walkable to many shops and restaurants. Small kitchen. Overall a good budget stay. I think the hotel's 3-star rating is bang on. This isn't 4 or 5 star, but neither is the price. Would stay again. No elevator if you have any difficulty with stairs.

The rooms are very small, the beds are slanted so bad you fall out. (not joking). Lots of very narrow stairs to get to the room. No AC, it's on a very noisy street and you have to have the windows open. We asked after the first night if we could change rooms or cancel our reservation. They simply said no and wouldn't entertain it at all. I don't leave bad reviews often, however, I felt I had to with this one.

We arrived to a very warm welcome by the man at the desk. We had booked a basic twin room. We were given what I assume was a family suite. It was in the basement, very steep stairs down, and a little dark and musty. However, it was huge. Full kitchen, dining table for 6, double bed in the main room, plus a bedroom with twin beds. It was quite noisy as we could hear street conversations and loud bangs from the hotel front door closing. I debated complaining but decided the space was worth staying. Lovely little garden out back. Great area. Would stay again but only on an upper floor.

Excellent value for money

Well kept, small hotel about 20 minutes by foot from Paddington Station. Clean and generally well kept. On a relatively quiet street. As others have noted, upper floor rooms are a bit of a climb and would be very difficult with large luggage. Nonetheless, excellent value for money. I would stay again.

This was an excellent choice for our recent stay in London for a week. Very convenient to the tube for getting around the city. Staff were very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. It was exactly what we expected for a boutique hotel in a beautiful old building. We were on the second floor in a Balcony Room. It was comfortable with Queen bed (UK refers it as a King), kitchenette & table, and an updated, small bathroom. If we return to London we would definitely consider returning to this hotel. Loved the neighbourhood.

We stayed for 2 nights in early May. We arrived early and were offered an “upgraded” room from our twin beds. The room had a queen bed and a pull out sofa. In hind sight, I should have gone with my intuition and declined a sofa bed option. But we were assured the bed was equally as comfortable as the regular bed. This was not the case. It was uneven, very squeaky, and the coils in the mattress dug into my ribs. My nights sleep was very poor because of this. This pull out was not even close to the quality of the actual bed in the room. The hotel is older and that is what gives it the charm. But the window's in the room have not been upgraded. Therefore we could hear the noise from the street clearly. There isn’t any air conditioning in the room. Which we didn’t think would be an issue in May. But the temperature was 22 degrees and the room was quite warm. Keep this in mind for temperatures above this. Sleep will be uncomfortable. One last thing that I found unsettling. The hotel still uses keys for room entry. It is the policy of the hotel that when you leave for the day you must leave your key with reception. In 2024 you would think a hotel would have switched to a more secure option like a key card. Giving my key to reception and having the key hung on a board seems like an opportunity for less scrupulous employees. I am not saying they are, but what if…. Perhaps it’s time to invest in better room security. The back garden was lovely.

The room, bed and the shower were really small spaced. Liked the location. The experience could had been better except the poor quality service provided by one of the employee which resulted in a really embarrassing situation for us. The room service entered our room without knocking or acknowledging while we were changing. Apparently the front desk employee missed updating the system or manager that we extended the stay. Not impressed at all how this situation was handled.

Super Comfy for solo female traveller

Hotel is in safe area with lots of restaurants and shops. Close to 2 tube stations and walking to Notting Hill and Portobello Market. Saw a few shows so had to come later at night and felt very safe. Staff and super friendly and helpful. The Italian staff caught a spider in my room, bless him. Room is small but has everything you need. Would definitely stay again.

Great location; handy to tube and bus system. Close to Hyde park for nice strolls. Two single bed rooms are smallish but this is to be expected. Mattresses too soft and one need to be replaced. Had kitchenette but not well stocked. Shower area was very cramped but good water pressure and water temperature. Liked courtyard area for sitting and decompressing after a day of sight seeing. Good value overall.
