The apartment is in a good location and the breakfast is acceptable. My roommate who lives with me is very nice. However
The room I actually live in is not consistent with the pictures I saw on the website.
Excellent service and was given dinner as well as breakfast
Could do with soap in toilets
Good room, great location.
The bottom bed sheet kept on coming off when sleeping.
Great location, very friendly staff
Very small shower
Great location and price for a single room in London. Everything was clean, showers hot.
Excellent staff, value for money, breakfast was better than expected, location is great
bed not the comfiest, could hear next door too even though it was private room
Tim on front desk was professional, courteous and welcoming. Room was perfectly clean and comfortable. Great shower and really appreciated ?
Great location, wonderful project for accessible accommodation
I understand keeping the toilets clean is challenging, the rest is great. Breakfast has a few options but sufficient
There were 5single beds and great size wardrobes for each bed, bedside cabinets and a little table & chair per bed. Also 2 very small fridges. The room was bright.. very close to Bayswater & Queensway Tubes.. The shower was clean and the shower head was moveable which is good ?? Breakfast included however l didn’t get to have any … (l’d like to to say thank you to the lovely Irish chap in the kitchen who’d offered me cup of tea, so kind of him )
Breakfast was getting served from 9:15 onwards over the weekend ??which is insanely late for the busy city like London. People are up by 6/7am out & about already by 8am??so it would make sense to have items to grab and go kind of food perhaps people who are early risers or people having to leave early…
The room was spacious, the bed very comfy
The duvet cover had stains on it, whether washable I could not tell. It was clean however there was a butter knife behind the desk and a little dusty. No towels provided, considering this was a single room not that cheap, I expected towels and some toiletries though.
Great welcome and brilliant reception team. Clear and detailed information.Excellent rooms, clean, well equipped and spacious..
Location was ideal for me as I arrived to Paddington Station just before midnight. It's a prime location anyway, just off Bayswater Road
Basement where I stayed was dilapidated and dingy. Toilet floor was filthy, loo roll holder and paper towel dispenser were empty. Fortunately there were a few sheets of toilet paper on the shelf behind me, I used them before 6 am so the next person would have had a real problem!
The room was okay. The location was close to my workplace and breakfast was good.
I can't say at this moment because I only spent about 11hrs in the hotel.
Perfect location and the Amazing staff! Carlota the receptionist went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasant stay. I'm definitely coming back!
The place was very clean. The staff were brilliant and very helpful would not hesitate to come back again. All I can say is very clean, beautiful place beautiful people thank you
The priceLate Check in possibleStaff is helpful
Very noisy,Not clean( dark hair on "fresh" pillow cover)Had to move rooms for some reason
I loved the architectural design of the building, AND the location was absolutely spot on!!!AMAZING mbers of staff - more than 'just a job' - they have GREAT PASSION in what they do.
There was nothing that I didn't like. I was there for one evening - it was PERFECT!!!
Breakfast was basic but coffee good.Good central location.It also has a gym.Which guests can use.
Hearing that done strange woman staying there intimidates guests by insisting the lights are left on all night and has done it to several people several times despite warnings.She should be booted out pronto.
Great location near the tube and Hyde park, safe area. But wouldn’t recommend, wouldn’t go back.
Facilities were poor, if they weren’t broken they were close to breaking and everything was just painted over multiple times even vents in bathrooms… toilets never clean, sinks disgusting. Elevator broken half the stay. Main issue though is that it seems to be a long stay hostel. Normally not a bad thing but when getting questioned by multiple staff who think you’re trespassing or asked to move on by security whilst sitting did not make me feel welcomed what so ever.
