My stay was quite disappointing. The reception was poorly managed, with no staff present upon arrival. The rooms were filthy and in terrible condition, making it hard to enjoy my time there. Even though the price was low, the overall experience didn't justify it. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for accommodations in London.

I had a really unpleasant experience at this hotel. The rooms were filthy, with a terrible smell and visible stains, and I felt unsafe both due to the noise and the overall environment. While I was desperate for a place to stay, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The only positives were that I managed to get a bed and leave pretty quickly, but that’s not really a good enough reason to stay here.

I had an absolutely nightmarish experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was overwhelmed by the terrible conditions, including dirty rooms and unacceptable hygiene.

My stay at this hotel was a nightmare from start to finish. The rooms were filthy, and I couldn't even hear myself think over the noise from the trains. I checked out after just one night, despite paying for two. Honestly, the only positive was the staff who tried to help, but this place should not be open for business. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, just across from Paddington Station, making it easy to explore the area. However, the room was small and a bit worn down, and I faced some inconveniences like no extra pillows and a shower that didn’t drain well. It’s budget-friendly, but you definitely get what you pay for.

This hotel was a complete nightmare. It had a strong odor, was filthy, and even had bugs. The experience of trying to check in was frustrating, as there was no one at the reception initially. The bed was uncomfortable, and we couldn't even sleep well. It was an expensive mistake, and I would strongly advise against staying here.

My experience at this hotel was less than ideal. While the central location was a significant plus, being right on top of the tube line made for a noisy stay. The room was cramped and poorly maintained, and the overall service felt lacking. Despite having Wi-Fi that worked most of the time, the limited breakfast offerings really didn't help elevate the experience.

This hotel left much to be desired. While I initially hoped for a budget-friendly stay, the reality was disheartening. The rooms were in terrible condition, and cleanliness was clearly not a priority. However, I appreciated the quick access to public transportation, which was a major convenience. Unfortunately, overall, I cannot recommend staying here as it felt unsafe and unwelcoming.

The hotel provides a budget-friendly option just across the street from Paddington Station. While the rooms are clean and functional, they are quite dated and in need of repair. The staff is accommodating, but the amenities and breakfast options leave much to be desired. Overall, if you're looking for a cheap place to stay, this might work, but be prepared for some inconveniences.

My stay at this hotel was a total disaster. Upon arrival, I struggled to find my reservation and was then placed in a dirty single bedroom meant for one person, which was falling apart and extremely uncomfortable. The management seems to have no regard for cleanliness or guest satisfaction, and it made for an incredibly stressful experience. I had to spend extra money for a room upgrade, which did not improve my stay at all. I will not be returning and advise others to avoid this place.
