fantastic stay near paddington!

outside seatingdrinks stationsmall room

the location was amazing. i loved the outside seating area for a quiet moment, and the in-room fan and hair dryer were super useful. And a drinks station right there was a lifesaver, definitely helped me cool down after a long day!

the room was quite small. there wasn't a dressing table or chair. i found the limited space a little inconvenient for organizing my things, it was a bit tight.
