The stay was excellent; the location is UNBEATABLE—the subway is nearby, along with parks, buses, restaurants, currency exchange offices, luggage storage, supermarkets—everything is close by, and Paddington Station connects to everything. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. They offer luggage storage and early check-in for GBP 30. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Please note that there are no elevators, only stairs. I am more than satisfied with my stay.
