We stayed at the Paddington Hotel on two different nights a week apart as stopovers. It is very close to Paddington Tube station, a 10 minute walk. The check-in is across the street in another hotel, a little inconvenient given that the front desk wants to hold your room key when you go out for the day. Despite that, reception... more

There are many reviews which I consider unfair regarding The Paddington. Remember this is London and accomodation is expensive, especially when this close to the centre of town. The Paddington is close to the Heathrow Express and London's joys are a relaxing walk through Hyde Park away. I consider it great value and would book again. If you want a... more

I scrutinise reviews before I visit hotels and the ones for Paddington put the fear of God into me. I went expecting rats etc. but I left feeling clean, happy, fed and satisfied with absolute bargain. I understand that other people may have had bad experiences, maybe we just got the best room (number 8) and were prepared for what... more

Hello, The Paddington Hotel is well located in a nice zone with lots of public transportation. The problems were as follows: this Hotel doesn’t have an elevator (some rooms are in the 5th floor), it has carpet all over the floor, they do not gave us enough towels, the reception is across the street and they only gave us one... more

This is a good cheap hotel in central London close to Kensington Gardens and Paddington tube station. Small cheap rooms, good hot showers, refrigerator, and coffee machine in room. We had a tiny room the first night we were there on the top floor, but asked to move to a bigger room that was next door and was much happer... more

We are just back in Dublin after spending 3 nights in the Paddington ( Hotel). It is a dirty, shabby place. No lift so flights of stairs are a must. Old damaged venetian blinds, old wooden windows that rattle loudly in the wind, Tv with only poor reception and a couple of channels, dirty old carpet probably hoovered but awful... more

This is a hotel for "sleep & go" only. Very close of tube, Hyde Park and main train strations. Pls, dont ask for a great breakfast or good english. No cable TV, just air. No great views. Breakfast included: coffe & milk, bread, cheese, marmalade & butter, maybe orange juice. But if you want to stay just for the night,... more

I booked this hotel by internet. Prices were good and the photos I show were nice. I was a bit worried when I read that reception was in another hotel. When we arrived there, we found an old and dirty house (not really an hotel, the hotel was across the street), no elevator, the carpet dirty and worn out, the... more

Booked this hotel from lastminute.com for an overnight stay following on from the Concert for Diana. Stayed in room 10, the room itself was adequate. Did not get a very good reception off the small TV which was placed on top of the fridge. The bathroom was so small could just about get in and out just! The main door... more
