Fantastic location
The hotel is really lovely.
The rooms beds bathrooms are all very nicely set out.
Very nice restaurant and bar if you want to stay in the hotel but there is an abundance of eateries all around the hotel.
There’s a gym and swimming pool but we didn’t use them.
Situated just next door to Paddington station so you can literally get to anywhere from there.
Beautiful walk along the canal and there are eateries on the barges too.
Can’t find a single fault.

Good location to a few bars/coffee/shops. Short walking distance to Paddington so great connections for a Greater London trip.
Room was spacious even for 3 guests.
Before check in had a drink at the restaurant which was nice as well.

The hotel is very conveniently located and is only a few minutes from London Paddington Station by walking. The Sheridan Square area has several very good restaurants and a supermarket. The staff of the hotel is very helpful too.

Really enjoyed our stay. Parshad was extremely helpful on the front desk and helped arrange a room near the lift for my elderly mother. He is a real asset to the hotel. Dinner was very nice and service excellent.

Amazing hotel!
Charles was extremely helpful with our check-in! He gave us much needed information on the area as well as tips for traveling to the airport by train. He also gave us information about a restaurant we had heard about in the area. Ironically, we went to the restaurant for lunch, but ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner and we LOVED it! Great food - the chef obviously knows what he's doing! We'd eat there even if it was located in our home town. Added bonus - they even had a workbook titled "Sleep" to help travelers with issues affecting their sleep hygiene. This is a workbook that I would pay for, no doubt! We wish there was a Novotel everywhere we travel!

Good hotel, rooms starting to be a bit dated
The hotel is in a great spot, near Paddington station and by the canal. It was clean and we had good service. The restaurant area was modern, but the rooms are getting a bit dated. It was nice to pop to the pool and sauna but it is small, so difficult to use for much more than a dip once anyone else was there.

Excellent location - quiet and safe - with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants close by. I would stay again. Check-in was not until 3pm, but the hotel can store your luggage. Next time I will pack my own towels and buy a nice pillow.

Not sure why I was put in an accessible room. The bedroom & bathroom were both very dated & in need of modernisation to match the impressive communal areas. The artwork in the bedroom was inappropriate.

Just OK
My biggest issue with this hotel is the lack of air conditioning. I don't understand how an 11 story building doesn't have air conditioning. There are windows but being so close to the Paddington station there are trains going in and out all night and there was construction in the area 24/7. And even with the window open, there just isn't any cross ventilation.
