easy location friendly welcome early check-in scuffed headboard dusty room limited breakfast
the hotel was easy to locate. i was greeted with a friendly welcome upon my arrival. i could check into my room slightly early. the room was compact but clean.
the headboard was very scuffed , and some of the stuffing poked through. the room felt dusty. the breakfast lacked pastries , and it leaned heavily toward meat.

Acceptable Location , Audible Trains
train noise no elevator
The location was indeed close to the station , and that was convenient.
I was on a high floor , and the lack of an elevator became a daily annoyance with luggage. The constant noise of the trains running below really affected sleep quality , especially at night.

The location is AMAZING!!! It's super close to Paddington Station. Staff helped us with luggage storage before check-in. I found MANY restaurants and a supermarket nearby which was really convenient. The room was clean and quiet too.
