Luckily, I just had to stay in this hotel for one night. Breakfast was terrible, beds uncomfortable, and the bathroom smelled so strongly of chemicals it gave me a headache to be in there for more than 2 minutes. There are other many other options near Paddington that are a much better experience for a similar price.

Decided to check this place out as we had been staying in chain hotels and getting ripped off. Here we booked head for one night for less than $140 Canadian, which is so cheap in London. This included a really good breakfast. The room was larger than we have had and the frig in the room was such a bonus.... More

We were pleasantly surprised by the rooms at The Paddington, we hadn't paid much and so our expectations were realistic. Checking in, we were a bit apprehensive, as the reception was makeshift due to a fire, but the duty Manager was very pleasant. Our room was on the 3rd floor, and very large. We had everything we needed, T.V, fridge,... More

We spend three nights here and really enjoyed! Super friendly service! I asked beforehand to get a room from ground floor and we got it. The room was bigger than we had expected and breakfast was good. And location is really good! A bed is a little hard and here are many stairs if you get a room from upper... More

Not much to say. It is a room to stay, quite cold since the Windows are not really as they should be. The fridge is loud during the night, you just have to turn it off. The bathroom is tiny, but for one person it is enough. The staff is absolutely friendly, the breakfast is just something to eat. Cheese,... More

The room was bigger than expected but very basic don't expect to many frills. The bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Location was good with plenty of access to a wide variety of food outlets and supermarkets. Breakfast was ok but did not sample cooked version. English can be difficult for some of the staff but...

We found the location to be very nice. Just a short walk from Paddington Station in a quiet area not far from Hyde Park. The room was pretty dreary, not fantastically clean, but for an overpriced city like London, it's fine for a budget conscious traveler. Many people have commented on the lack of elevator but please do understand that... More
