So many things not right about this hotel! Firstly we were given the worst room in the hotel despite booking weeks in advance. It shouldn’t even be sold as a room because it had no window!! Just a ‘window’ that faces into the internal atrium area of the building - so no air or privacy or security or peace! On one night we were subjected to very loud clear sex noises, prolonged and echoing and amplified due to the internal ‘courtyard’. I was travelling with my 10 yr old son so it was unacceptable to say the least. Secondly, the room was so box-like that I was feeling claustrophobic and I don’t usually suffer from that! The bed was against the wall and VERY lopsided. We could barely turn around or walk past each other without hitting something and the suitcases had to be on the floor creating even less room! The rest of the hotel was a series of pokey corridors, lots of stairs at every turn and at least 3 narrow doors just to get from A to B. The only nice thing about the hotel was the library/lounge area - stunning comfy layout but unfortunately silence only so not much of a useful gathering open place! The staff were pleasant and helpful with basic things but it took me 2 days to get a part refund with the manager being very timid and reluctant. The other negative is that despite being Hyde Park/Paddington, Edgware Rd is a very culturally distinct Lebanese/Arabic, even the supermarket, so it was impossible to get any other cuisine and it was overbearing. Pretentious hotel!

The property was well located for Hyde park, however, the floors in the room were dirty and the room was hot and noisy. There was no way to open the window and as it was a lower ground floor room, it was stuffy and hot, making it dry through the night. From 8am on the Sunday morning, there was cleaning and furniture being moved around which disturbed us, we werent rested leaving the hotel.

Basement room
We were in the basement with a tiny obscured window, which had no blind/curtain. However, it was really clean with lovely accessories but the bed was not a queen size, more like a standard double and I would not describe the room as deluxe, more like a cosy room.

We were staying in London and wanted to base ourselves in the Paddington area. I came across this hotel on hotels.com. It was conveniently located to the train station which was important to us. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were clean and we would definitely stay her again if in the area.

Do not stay in room 312 - outside of the bedroom door is the lift and all the mechanisms are within a box which is connected to the wall of room 312. It is so so noisy. The rooms are functional but small. The breakfast would have been nice if it was hot

Disaster, but too tired to care.
Just been with the mrs through 40 hours of labour and was at a hospital nearby. I had booked last minute as I wasn't allowed in recovery. Booked a premium double, ended up with a disabled room next to a freezing cold window where the bed was damp all evening. Couldn't get in the shower for a large disabled chair blocking me. Got knocked on and rang out of the shower for setting off the fire alarm then accused of stealing their hair dryer and phone cables! Either I'm the worst hotel guest or they are the worst hotel...I pick the latter.
