My 16 year old son & I stayed for three nights & we’re very happy with our choice. This small hotel is in a very nice area close to Paddington tube & rail services, and Hyde Park. Our room was small but very clean with a nice bathroom (good shower). Beds were comfortable with cosy duvets. With a fan going (found in cupboard), the room was a good temperature even during a heart wave. We would stay again.

It was a clean but small room. We were a family of four and it was on the smaller side but typical for a room in London. Very convenient to transport as Paddington Station is a 5 minute walk away.
