The property was well located for Hyde park, however, the floors in the room were dirty and the room was hot and noisy. There was no way to open the window and as it was a lower ground floor room, it was stuffy and hot, making it dry through the night. From 8am on the Sunday morning, there was cleaning and furniture being moved around which disturbed us, we werent rested leaving the hotel.

Basement room
We were in the basement with a tiny obscured window, which had no blind/curtain. However, it was really clean with lovely accessories but the bed was not a queen size, more like a standard double and I would not describe the room as deluxe, more like a cosy room.

Little Gem
We were staying in London and wanted to base ourselves in the Paddington area. I came across this hotel on hotels.com. It was conveniently located to the train station which was important to us. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were clean and we would definitely stay her again if in the area.

Room had no windows and shower was so small I couldn’t move…… Nice design aesthetic and extras like filtered water and chargers in the room but be wary of being put in the basement!

Do not stay in room 312 - outside of the bedroom door is the lift and all the mechanisms are within a box which is connected to the wall of room 312. It is so so noisy. The rooms are functional but small. The breakfast would have been nice if it was hot

Great eco-friendly hotel
Not stayed here before, but was very impressed. Loved the eco-friendly touches, and the shower was amazing, whereas other London hotels’ showers are a pathetic dribble usually!

Disaster, but too tired to care.
Just been with the mrs through 40 hours of labour and was at a hospital nearby. I had booked last minute as I wasn't allowed in recovery. Booked a premium double, ended up with a disabled room next to a freezing cold window where the bed was damp all evening. Couldn't get in the shower for a large disabled chair blocking me. Got knocked on and rang out of the shower for setting off the fire alarm then accused of stealing their hair dryer and phone cables! Either I'm the worst hotel guest or they are the worst hotel...I pick the latter.

Nice finish but a bit cramped and noisy
I specifically requested a room on upper floors to avoid basement caves which have bad reviews. I got room 310 (top floor) so appreciate they took the request into consideration. Pros: - Nice decoration, fixtures - finished to a high standard - Good eco credentials. Cool wooden keycards and no stupid single-used plastic bottles. - Decent location - Good service Cons: - Soundproofing of rooms, doors and external windows is pretty poor. Thankfully other guests were quite respectful but even then I was woken by movements in other rooms/doors being opened etc. Original sash windows are thin, noise and condensate showing poor insulation. - Room quite small compared to the likes of the Metropole. Common for Paddington though. Feels cramped to sit on the toilet or shower. - Clothes hangers obscure the TV if they are actually used which is an annoying design. - Hot water takes a long time to adjust in the shower. Turn it up or down a bit then wait 1-2mins for it to actually change temperature.

One to avoid
Staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful, from the moment I arrived untill I left, it was clearly an inconvenience that I was staying at the hotel. Asking questions or inquiring about facilities was clearly an offensive topic to those that worked there. After having to find things myself, to view the gym/sauna that I was told were fully booked, to see if the facilities were of a good quality for potential next stay, I found the facilities in the dark and not a single person using them. When the staff were confronted about their lies they were completely indifferent. There are enough over priced hotels in London to stay at without staying at one with this sort of staff.
