    when I added the Friday night stay after being there a whole week the price was almost as much as the whole week.

    Lovely hotel close to Paddington station and travel routes into city and airports. Spacious double room. Shower had good pressure and shower amenities were lovely.

    Have stayed here before, really like the design and the vibe in this hotel. Super convenient for Paddington and such a relaxing stay. I love the library room and other little thoughtful touches. I find the rooms cosy and comfy. Bathrooms are bijou, but that is London! Free tap and sparkling water in the hallways, always nice.

    We needed a few more electric sockets and a mirror where you would dry your hair would also be good.

    The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. We liked the pine scented toiletries. Great shower! I wish we had had more time to try out the facilities on offer. The location also suited us as it was just a short walk from Paddington station.

    A lovely place but one major issue.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The bed was way too high to even get into ! I'm 5" but elderly. Much good-natured attempts to solve this issue. In the end, a thick secondary pad was removed from the bed, which lowered it by almost 2 inches. Together with a cushion on the floor I was able to crawl aboard ! The problem is, that the rooms are fairly small and the mattresses are on top of wooden platforms with side spaces to put luggage. Good idea for storage but makes for a very high bed. The safe was in a cabinet at floor level which made it impossible to use. The handicap bathroom (I hadn't booked this} was really well designed but there was no shelf for personal items, nor any hooks to hang bathrobes etc. Much as I really loved this hotel, the bed height issue remains a problem, so sadly I would not be able to book here again, but taller, or more agile travelers should definitely consider this hotel.

    Delightful staff, especially at the front desk, with whom I chatted during my 5 night stay. A bright (de luxe double) room on the ground {American 1st} floor with 2 large windows.The tranquility of the hotel. Sofas and relaxation spots. Fresh fruit for the taking. Lovely peaceful library. Such a calm place. Clean and simple "Scandi" design. Outside area with tables, chairs and umbrellas. The restaurant (just breakfast and a simple lunch) design and staff. The location on a wide, tree lined avenue with close proximity to Paddington Station. Great Malaysian restaurant just a block away, Satay House. A pristine laundromat 5 minutes walk away.

    Asked for a low floor which we were given. Unfortunately it was in the basement with a skylight roof, which would have been great if other rooms weren't overlooking it. Skylight is a lovely idea but we had to keep the cover over it for privacy. As it was only a base and we were out all day it was adequate for what we needed.

    Location was great, very close to Hyde Park, excellent public transport links. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The only thing that I didn’t like was that the coffee was terrible. Personally, I feel like it’s a bit unfair to only have filter coffee as a free option for those of us who paid for breakfast. All of the other coffees were an extra charge.

    The room looked excatly like the pictures. The staff was very friendly. We arrived to London a couple of hours before we were supposed to check in and they allowed us to do an early check in which saved us so much time in the end.

    Size of the room. It could be acceptable for singles but when traveling as a couple and having any extra language apart from your backpack you really lack space. However I am positively impressed with the creativity of some features like storages which increased our comfort.

    Modern, nice design of rooms and the whole place. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good location close to Paddington but also walking distance to Hyde park.

    It would have been nice to have had tea and coffee facilities in the room. There was free coffee in the lobby but it was very strong and wasn't freshly made.

    I thought breakfast was expensive so I didn't eat there.

    n/a - nothing comes to mind. It's a few mins walk from Paddington but nothing that was an issue for me. There are some nice spaces on the ground floor to enjoy but I didn't have time to try these out.

    This was my second time staying in this hotel. Staff are great, room was really comfortable with some lovely design touches. I really love the fact that it is B Corp and it's also close to Paddington station. There are in-room tea & coffee facilities as well as a water station on every floor

    The windows are not well isolated and there is a chance that you can hear the noise from outside.

    I totally liked the concept and style of the hotel and also how helpful and friendly everyone was. The location is also a big plus: you can walk to and through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park to the Buckingham Palace - in under an hour. Good is also the distance to Paddington Station, not only when travelling by plane. The rooms are not the biggest, but super comfortable and with intelligent possibilities to store luggage. Also, there are lots of possibilities to charge your devices with both USB and power outlets.

    With our room being compact it did get quite warm & the air conditioning unit was situated directly above the bed. This meant we had to ensure the temperature was right before settling down to sleep for the night.

    The hotel is in a good location, just far away enough from the main roads to be quiet, but close enough for you to have everything in walking distance. The staff were very welcoming & friendly. Rooms were very clean & bijoux.
