Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel had a beautiful glass canopy offering a view of the sky, but my room hadn't been serviced with no towels, and the bed was unmade, making it feel like a reject room. It was filthy and extremely small, barely allowing any movement around the bed.
Wow! This hotel is a real gem! The rooms are beautifully furnished, but a bit tight on space for your suitcase, and housekeeping was a bit slow to clean up during the day. The service can be hit or miss with some staff absent and even barging in. The location is superb, super close to an underground station and just a quick hop to Paddington. The dining experience was lackluster, with a delayed breakfast that didn't quite hit the mark. Despite some hiccups, this hotel definitely has its strengths and weaknesses.
The hotel is conveniently situated just a stone's throw from Warwick Avenue tube station, making it easy to explore the area. The room I stayed in was disappointing; below ground and smaller than expected, in need of maintenance. The service left much to be desired, with an unhelpful receptionist and a lack of genuine care. The dining experience was subpar; a meager continental breakfast offering with limited choices. Despite its drawbacks, the hotel's proximity to local amenities is a plus.
The hotel had some comfortable and clean rooms, but the overall experience fell short of its 4-star rating. The service was friendly and polite, although there were some minor issues. The location was excellent for exploring nearby attractions, but there were some inconveniences with amenities. The dining options were disappointing and below expectations.
The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from Warwick underground Station in London. While the rooms are in dire need of a remodel, the service left much to be desired. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were subpar overall.
The hotel's location was superb, offering easy access to Little Venice/ Paddington area and the tube station, but the rooms were disappointing with issues like broken fittings and missing amenities. The service was described as friendly, but lacked local knowledge. Despite the drawbacks, the central location was a major plus for exploring London.
The hotel is located right opposite the tube station making it convenient for exploring London, but the rooms need significant improvements with strong odors and lack of basic amenities. The service was friendly but required active requests for assistance. The dining experience was basic, and the breakfast options were limited. The hotel's location was ideal for walking around Little Venice and Paddington area, but the distance from Paddington station was a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The service was amazing with really lovely and helpful staff, but the rooms were dusty, ancient, and not as requested. The location was great for accessing the underground station, but a bit far from Paddington. The dining experience was basic, and there were some issues with billing afterward.
