Biblioteca Central de Reading

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.

Super location right next to Victoria station. Large clean room on 10th floor with views. Breakfast was where we were slightly disappointed - good choice but mass production for huge hotel meant it was all self service and cooked food sitting in large batches. We were at breakfast early so no problem getting a table but signs indicated could be waiting times later.

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