convenient stay near paddington

convenient locationhelpful staffgood breakfastclean room

i found the location very convenient (just a short walk to paddington station!). the staff were friendly and helpful . the continental breakfast was a good start to the day with breads, meat, cheese, cereal, yogurt and croissants available. the room was clean and met my needs after exploring the city each day.

the bathroom was quite small, and it made moving around a bit challenging.
