The room was dirty, furniture was old and broken, including the bed. The bathroom was smelly and not pleasant. When we got into the room the blind was not on the wall. We asked for a different room and were told that the blind would be fixed. It was but the blind was of no use as the material was so light that you could see the window frame through it even at night. We couldn't wait to get out of there!
The advertised picture is/was a whole lot nicer than the room we stayed in. Also i feel like the room we eventually got was given to us as a punishment due to our 2 different check in like experiences. I had arranged to drop off luggage earlier than check in time and was assured we could check in at any time late in the evening (attended a concert at hyde park). At luggage drop off the first man was lovely, found our booking, knew we were dropping off luggage and got us to us fill in the white form, ready for check in later. He was really nice. At 1130pm when we actually checked in the 2nd man was quite rude, aggressive and argued we had lost our room key card. After much deliberation and explanation he got me to fill in another white form(which i had said was completed before). He then deliberated and gave us a key for LG2 but then suddenly changed his mind and gave us LG1. It was very late and we were too tired to complain but there were cockroaches, and constant pigeon noises from outside. Every thing could also do with a bit of a general deep clean. It wasnt particularly expensive but our room was nothing like the picture
The room is not cleaned and well maintained. The size was not on the standard with we paid. The toilet was dirty and the shower room only fits for the small kid. it's was a very poor and disappointed experience.. hopefully this comments help facilitate improvements.
The property was not all like the photos. I made the mistake of not reading reviews. Vermon ate chocolate i had bought for gifts over night. This must be closed down for health reasons. I woud like my money reimbursed. There is no lift. You have to carry your bags up and down the stairs. I cant believe Exedia are associated wththis accommodation.

Scratch this one off my list.
The room was not serviced during my stay.
There was a roll of toilet paper propping the window open.
The bathroom door had been kicked open at some point and not repaired—the wood was still splintered and the door didn’t latch.
The bathroom curtain was flimsy and filthy
I dont like property,first arrival on room the bed sheet dirty stain,spring roll wrap scattered on bed,need to request another bed sheet..2nd day there is a mouse running around,when i check my chocolate that i buy on duty free,one of chocolate,mouse ate that.very disapointed thats my gift to my friend.the 3rd thing the reception did not help us to get taxi...
I expected this hotel to be accommodations in a convenient location that would perhaps be basic but clean. They were not even remotely clean.
There was a stain on the wall from some kind of liquid (photo) that I hope was not biological. The shower and sink had stains or bacteria growing. They badly needed to be bleached. The sink counter was off its hinges so it was difficult to shut the door. If I had not been about to head off on an international flight I would not have even used the shower, it was so unpleasant. I did not photograph the toilet but it had obviously not been cleaned, which is unhygienic.
The building stairway smelled of sewage, which is concerning.
I normally rely on hotels.com to help me avoid cases like this. It was the dirtiest hotel I have stayed in in the past 15 years. If there were any hotel open nearby I would have left.
This hotel did not match the standards of the website and should not be listed here.
The bathroom was no bigger than a wardrobe. Very difficult to manoeuvre. The bathroom was also dirty and the tiny basin took forever to drain away the water. Shower was good, with plenty of hot water, but I am a larger lady and it was very difficult to get in and out of the shower as it only had 2 tiny panels on the door. The last place I would want to be trapped.
The bedding was clean but the mattress had a slant on it and it was lumpy. Very old inner spring which was horrendous on my back.
Definitely won’t return as there are many better places for less money.
The location was a real plus as it was very close to the station and lots of places to eat nearby.
It also promotes laundry facilities, but it was out of order. Surprise.
The two staff members I dealt with, were very friendly and helpful.
I’ve stayed in many budget hotels around Paddington, I don’t expect 5 star on a budget, but there has to be a line.
* Hotel reception and hallways smell and have attempted to be masked by spray
* dirty windows
* bathroom small with cramped toilet impossible to sit on for anyone taller than 5ft
* crack in glass taped over
* dirty fan
* asked for an extra pillow and told we had 3 already
* tiny, tired bed
* noisy
* good WiFi
* cleanish
* leftover soap dried onto the top of the shower door frame
* 4 gang extension is only power source
* no headboard
* poor decor
* clump of hair fell out of a towel when opened
* rat box in basement garden, complete with rat (at least we saw his tail)
The hotel is generally in poor repair and needs a lot of love, very expensive even for a budget hotel in London
