The Good: Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable bed, great shower, very close to Paddington, so getting there from Heathrow on the Elizabeth Line is super easy and quick. The Not So Good: No safe room to hold luggage, just a space under the stairs with a 'leave at your own risk' sign. I got in way before 2pm check in time, and didn't feel safe leaving my case, so had to drag it around London with me for 4 hours. Room 3 had no window, like a little cell, and was really hot. The AC didn't work the first night so sleep wasn't great, but Danny(?) on reception was very friendly and helped fix it ASAP in the morning. Take earplugs, the building is quite creaky and you can easily hear other guests stomping about. All in all, not bad. Just be aware you're paying for location, not amenities. I'd stay again if I got a good deal on a rate.

Room was in basement. We reserved a triple room with 3 twin beds. There was about 9 inches between the beds and the wall. Between the last two beds there is a tiny TV on the wall that sticks off the wall about 6 inches making it very difficult to even get to the third bed in the room. The air conditioning in the room was not working, but the air conditioner was dripping water all over the floor making a puddle which was a hazard when trying to squeeze past the beds to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The air conditioning being broken made the room terribly hot and difficult to sleep. The hallway was about 20 degrees cooler, but the window to the hallway was sealed shut. The beds were all on wheels on a laminate floor, so they would move easily when you leaned on them. The bathroom shower was small and did not drain. So the shower overflowed onto the bathroom floor while showering. We were given one small towel each and no hand towels or wash cloths. It was a pretty miserable night after a long day of travel. However, the location was easily accessible from Paddington Station and the Elizabeth line or Heathrow Express from the airport.

Royal Cambridge Hotel
When we arrived we were greeted by Denny, very polite young man. The room was very clean and ample for 4 people. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We are all tea drinkers so whenever we went and asked for extra tea bags or milk we were given big handfuls which was excellent. Checkout was very easy and quick. There was someone at the front desk 24/7 which was a big plus. We would definitely use the Royal Cambridge Hotel again whenever we go to London.

Very nice staff who kindly allowed early check-in. The mattress was terrible and made our bodies hurt in the morning. Thank goodness for the great shower pressure and hot water to relieve the sore muscles. I wasn’t expecting the best mattress ever, but something slightly better would make a difference. It would be better to have wash cloths available for washing in the shower.

The property was very clean and well maintained. The only issue we experienced was with the wifi. It could only be reached when we were by the door. We were on the second floor. This was mentioned to the front desk and said they would look into an extender.

Property was okay, the main factilies in the room were clean (beds/sink/shower etc) the bathroom skirting needed a good clean. It was a good place for us to sleep for 1 night. The room we stayed in heard every noise from the room above which was annoying at first and did cause you to wake on occasion.

I was dreading this stay after seeing the reviews. However room was clean. Small but clean. For a 1 night stay it is fine. Very close to Paddington station and lots of restaurants etc. we stayed here when we watched Taylor swift and for the amount of time your actually in the room this place was perfect.

Pleasantly Surprised
I was a little bit apprehensive about stopping at this hotel after reading some of the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. We thought it was very good value for money. The staff were nice and helpful and the rooms of a decent size for London. The hotel communal areas had just been decorated. We both said we would say here again.
