Royal Eagle Hotel

The area is very OK and very close to paddington station, and lots of food around. Famous landmarks also can be reached on foot. Room was quite small for 3 people but we managed to fit. Hot water was working.

I found this hotel by accident when just arrived at Paddington Station after flying +18 hours from Jakarta to Heathrow. Tired condition of having to push a large 32 kg suitcase made me undo the intention to move to the hostel that had been booked in advance near Victoria Station. The location is very strategic, only about 5 minutes walk from Paddington Station. Room B10 which is located at LG is quite spacious, there are 4 beds, a bath tube and a heating machine which I thought was an AC at first. Since sleeping there on the first night finally decided to extend the stay there for the next 5 days with family who flew after a few days later. BTW, did I tell you that this hotel turned out to be a shooting location for one of my favorite films from the ' 90s era? Trainspotting 1. Please check it out!

On our last night in the UK, we decided to rebook a room at this Trainspotting hotel. Because it is close to Paddington Station and makes it easier for us later to move to Heathrow Airport. Turns out we weren't as lucky this time as a few nights before. We got a room on the second floor with quite difficult conditions. After the lift, it turned out that there were still a few more stairs to our room. If you carry two large suitcases this is certainly very difficult because you have to lift them first through these stairs. And of course, it happened during check in and check out, had to lift two big suitcases over these stairs. Very difficult. When we got to the room, we were quite surprised. The beds were separate, one downstairs with the bathroom and three beds upstairs, like sleeping in the attic. Unlike the previous quadruple room, this room is very narrow and you even have to climb a spiral staircase upstairs to reach the other three beds. For those of us who have two small children, the condition of this room is quite dangerous, if one goes away, something might fall down. We tried to move rooms to the lower ground floor as before but they told me that all rooms were fully occupied. Luckily we only stayed one night in this hotel room, so that's okay lah.
