The location of this hotel is very convenient, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the tube. Breakfast was excellent and there was a lot of items to choose from. There were many very good options for dining close to the hotel, and we were surprised with the diversity of cuisine one could find in the area. I would... More

That's one of those chain hotels locked away in an artificial office area behind Paddington Station. Make sure you leave this area for a bit of London! There is a Pret-a-Manger only a few steps away - and their cappuccino is much better than the hotel coffee, same goes for the sandwiches. There's also a city supermarket close by. The... More

Just spent two days here and was pleasantly surprised. The room I had was a touch small, particularly the closeness of bathroom door and bed, but some real thought has gone into maximizing space efficiency. I had room service which was hot and tasty. A nice touch was getting a call to say my order was on its way. Gym... More

We stayed at this hotel for a total of 5 nights on a recent trip and were happy with our experience. It was close to Paddington station and a short walk to the main strip of shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean, i just wish there was a bit more water pressure in the... More

Stayed at the Novotel in Paddington last Summer for 3 nights. Went on a shopping break with my sister. The hotel is newly built and very modern with a pool onsite also. It was a good location for a shopping weekend, just around the corner, past a little canal was Paddington train + tube station so the city was within... More

This is a good option if you wish to travel to/from Heathrow, though pedestrian access is not as good as it will be once the Crossrail works at Paddington are finished. Meantime you need to negotiate steps and walk quite a long way round. The hotel itself is what you would expect of a modern, recently built Novotel. Not wishing... More

We stayed in this hotel for 4nights and we were very happy with our stay. Sometimes in large cities such as London,Paris or Rome you can pay for four star they look great on the website and when you arrive they turn out to be poor version of a three star hotel.This hotel looked exactly the same as it did...

The hotel is convenient to Paddington station. Its a 10 minute walk along the canel but nothing strenuous. Clearly the place is very new and built to suit the business market of the new offices around it. The rooms are small (as expected in London). I was surprised by the cheap and extremely small shower installation that leaked all over... More
