Short walk to Paddington Station, the connection to Heathrow Airport via the Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express. Able to walk all through historic London and back again. Included a full breakfast. Kept our luggage until ready to check in. Only issue was the rumbling of the Metro line felt like a small earthquake every 5 minutes or so. Stopped overnight so didn't interfere with sleep. Able to get used to it.

Found it VERY unusual that the water was not potable. Required purchasing bottled water. On my first stay, I was given a room requiring me to climb 60 steps. The higher I went, the narrower the steps became. There was not an adequate handrail at the top of the last stairs. I had to carry my suitcase up. It was difficult. When I left the first time, I requested a room on a lower floor for my two more stays. I was placed in quiet rooms on the main/registration floor and was OK with that.

Like all the hotels in this area it's converted houses with lots of stairs and rooms on several floors. My room was small but as described. The hotel generally seems clean and well maintained. Breakfast was better than I expcted. Overall the hotel was good value for London

Staff was friendly but a “deluxe twin” was literally like a closet with a tiny bathroom attached. We tried to stay out of the room as much as possible because it was so tiny. Breakfast wasn’t bad though

The room was super tiny. I knew it was going to be small I didn’t realize how small. There was a bad smell that came from the bathroom but closing the door stopped the smell from getting into the already tiny room. The staff was amazing. And the location to everything was great as well. I don’t know if I would stay there again or not. No elevator and we were put on the 3rd floor.

This is a Dirty and old Hostel, not a Hotel, I just slept 1 night, for the other nights I had to make a reservation in other hotel and spend more money. The pictures that show the hostel seems that the hostel is in good shape, but the reality is totally different.
