Good value for money, loved the Art Deco features
Convenient for the underground and for the theatre we were visiting. We booked well in advance and got a very competitive rate considering its proximity to Covent Garden etc. The foyer and bar area retains many of the original Art Deco features. The rooms we had were small but adequate and the room decor was a little tired, but overall well worth the money and would stay again if in the area. My score of 3* for eco friendliness was a neutral score because we weren’t there long enough to form an accurate opinion.

No frills hotel room in a convenient and quiet location close to paddington airport. Great place to lay your head after a day of exploring. Rooms could use an update as there are very few chargers, none by the actual beds. Soap and shampoo amenities could also be modernized

Decent hotel, rooms were quite basic. There was a lot of noise from the general area, I could hear snoring in the room next door, lots of noise in the corridoor. Hotel is very busy all the time, the walls are quite thin. A 'park view' means a view of the main road outside, so a bit misleading there, noise outside too. The curtains don't black out the light from the outside. Decent price considering the area, very good location. I didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that
