The Admiral is a budget hotel within easy access of the tube at Paddington for all the popular London sights. The staff are very friendly, polite and helpful, though we did feel the lady serving breakfast could have done with a helper, as the breakfast room was full each morning. The food was nicely cooked and plentiful. The room was clean, but because the decor is old, it has a shabby, well-used look, with scuff marks on the walls. The room is very small, such that we had to walk sideways around the foot of the bed to access the other side by the window, whilst also being careful not to bump into the corner of the dressing table, nor bang your head on the hairdryer and tv both fixed to the wall.The bathroom is extremely small, to the point where even with us being only 5'6" tall, we had to be very careful not to bump into the corners of the sink, when manouvering around. If you are looking for a budget hotel, with breakfast in a great location and lovely staff, then The Admiral is fine, as you are only there for breakfast and sleeping, but it is compact.
