Boadicea i les seves Filles

The hotel staff was very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our bed mattress was one of the BEST we have experienced in quite some time of travel: firm mattress, good pillows. So pleased to have had air conditioning on our July trip - and really good AC, at that. Paddington Station is just a couple of minutes' walk down the street, as are Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's (groceries). We had no trouble finding excellent cafes and pubs in this neighborhood, and we felt safe, early morning to late evening. Hyde Park and all it offers is just a short walk away as well.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel. They have rooms in the basement! For the amount of money they charge a night, it’s completely absurd for them to think people will be ok with a room in the basement. It’s felt so cluster phobic, it was dreary, no windows and it was dark. There was constant noise coming from the ceiling they kept me up at night. I think it was the elevator machinery. I complained to the front desk and asked to be moved. They said they could “possibly” move me but would have to charge me extra! Really? When booking the room, no where did it say room in BASEMENT. Never would I think a hotel will offer basement accommodations. The staff however was super friendly but the room was horrid. If you decide to make reservations at this hotel, ask to NOT be in the basement!

Great location in Central London. Excellent Breakfast buffet. Cabs out front all day so easy to get around town.
