London hotels near Paddington Station

Pros: I find the facilities & staff are most welcoming, friendly & always available. I have been using this London Hotel for many years, in fact when it was called The Royal Lancaster Hotel. I do hope it will revert to that title in the future. Thank you to all for making me feel " @ home" while enjoying my stay.

Pros: Staff very good. Felt like a top hotel.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location was convenient and staff were really nice.

Cons: Free Wi-Fi was really non-existent; at least in our room. Also, TV had only three channels, which we were not informed of on check-in. However the staff was apologetic and offered complimentary full breakfast for the inconvenience.

Pros: Location was perfect for us. The onsight eating facilties were very good. All the staff members were courteous and helpful. The rooms were gery comfortable and well tended to.

Cons: Just like most of the rest of the world, there's too much fast moving traffic everywhere.

Pros: Location to nearest tube station. breakfast menu with views over hyde park. locality to my destination at the park Would defo return again.

Cons: The tv was difficult to use remote. Maybe a simpler version. Room was supposed to be a superior one. I saw no evidence of this. not enough toiletries. Beatutifully decorated in public areas, and toilets by meeting rooms were well furnished with soap & cream etc

Pros: Being right above a tube stop and short walk to Hyde park, shops; staff incredibly helpful; room very clean, large, comfortable

Pros: Excellent location--right near Paddington and the Central Line tube. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel restaurant was surprisingly good.

Cons: Outdated facilities, comfort of bed and room so-so (room smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking floor).

Pros: Location across from Hyde park and walking distance to museums

Cons: Room temperature too hot Room small

Pros: Location was great. Lobby of the hotel was very impressive. Nice touch with the piano player.

Cons: Really small single beds. Room was small also . The view from the window was appalling industrial bins and rubbish everywhere only looked out once and then closed the curtains.

Pros: Great location, very convenient to get to the Underground. Room was clean, and there was central air with a thermostat in the room. Staff was helpful. Hyde park is right across the street. Neighborhood is nice, pretty easy to get around.

Cons: Room with double bed was very small. Not much room to walk around in. Fine if you're only using the room for sleeping. Complimentary Wi-fi is slow, have to keep logging in every time you return to the hotel.

Pros: Location was nice

Cons: Could have a nicer bar area. Piano playing annoying after awhile.

Pros: The room isn’t bad, it’s a renovation of an older spot , it’s just a bit shoebox like. The bathrooms are not only the size of a closet, but have an open shower, so bring some dip flips if you plan to stay more than one night.

Pros: Great location, close to underground. Quiet. Very helpful staff. We would stay again.

Pros: The hotel was nice and tidy, the most important features. The breakfast was excellent.

Cons: Our matters was a bit defective and my room window don't close tight 100% sometime you feel the cold wind from the window. My room was 317. We had another couple with us who's room was much better then us.

Pros: The staff was outstanding! Allways willing to go above and beyond in order to help out. Very impressive indeed!

Pros: The hotel itself is quite nice. Good location and the staff are quite pleasent. But we had a room at the back of the hotel where all during the night, people were walking past our room laughing loudly. Now normally this wouldn't have bothered me but we had a window that wouldn't close properly so was quite noisy. Also a lot of doors bangin on our floor most of the night so a very noisy night indeed. It's a shame because we stayed at this hotel before and we had a fantastic room but this time wasn't the best.

Pros: Staff are friendly & the breakfast is gorgeous

Cons: The bedroom was very small & you had to stand on a slant to have a shower

Cons: I went through the trouble of pre-authorizing a credit card so that the guest wouldn't have to pay onsite, and they charged the guest anyway. This is not the first time that their reservations department and front desk have totally failed me.

Pros: Proximity to the Tube is very good. Check in and out is quick. That's all the positives that come to mind.

Cons: Dirty room. Needs paint inside and out. Wifi very slow. No energy from staff. Drink at the bar was in a dirty glass. I will not stay here again.

Pros: Loved the location, attentiveness of staff, cleanliness of room and lobby, etc. Rooms small but comfortable

Cons: TV Signal was not good, practically couldn't watch tv.

Pros: The service and cleanliness were all fantastic - gracious and helpful. Location is also excellent - quiet but close to underground, Hyde Park and lots of restaurants.

Cons: Smallest room I've ever stayed in and I definitely didn't expect that from the photos. In the end the room had everything I needed but was really small.

Pros: Staff was friendly Door men were helpful Receptionist guy was polite

Cons: They were under renovation,

Pros: Staff were polite and tried to be helpful

Cons: The smallest room I have ever had anywhere -- even in Japan. Many guests were complaining about the size of the rooms. the safe did not work and was not replaced. The breakfast was mediocre at best.

Pros: Overall, as a 20-something, using this as a cheap place to sleep for the night while seeing London this worked for me and allowed me to spend my travel money on the things I wanted to do. The hostel does provide breakfast, and a 10% off discount for anything you order at the bar (burger and a beer is normally 15 pounds, so you get that for 13.50). The staff was friendly, and the bedding was clean in the hostel. The showers had warm water and seemed to be cleaned on a somewhat regular basis. The bar area is open to you 24 hours a day, though the kitchen closes at 10 and the bar closes to the public at midnight. Beyond that, you can't beat the location in terms of it being a launching point for getting around the city. You are on several bus lines and three different tube lines. You are also only a mile's walk from Hyde park on a main road that is well lit, even at night.

Cons: First off, if you are a light sleeper, don't choose this hostel. It is on a highly-used road and the windows will be open in the room. If you wake up at every horn or siren, you will not have a good time sleeping here. In addition to that, the larger rooms have 24 people, so you can expect them to be coming and going at all hours, some quietly, some not (which also means your experience is not 100% on the hostel staff). Bar noise was non-existent, so don't worry about that. The breakfast was a bit of a zoo, and a bit of a disappointment. They had loaves of bread with a toaster (butter and jam), some cereal and milk. There was also tea and coffee. It was pretty well picked over by 8:15, and the staff was too busy cleaning the bar to replace anything. To that end, the staff in the hostel always seemed to be stretched too thin. People are working the hostel front desk and the bar at the same time. They are not mean about it, but if you catch it wrong, you can end up waiting a bit to be helped. There were also a few people who were sleeping in the hallway at times, though I was not sure if they were just too drunk to remember their passcodes or had snuck in. Also, I never saw any semblance of a manager for either the bar or the hostel (not that I ever needed one). The cleanliness of the rooms and the bathrooms left something to be desired, the rooms especially. Though I didn't spend much time in them, there was usually some crumbs / scraps of wrappers on the floor, which did not feel clean even when those larger pieces of rubbish were not there. This comes back to you experience being tied to the people you are in the room with however. In particular, there was one person who's luggage smelled like a college student's laundry bin that had been left to sit during the winter break, in-short, really bad. My final warning would be that there are not a lot of power outlets in the rooms, and there are only two bathrooms to accommodate 50+ people, as opposed to 4 showers.

Cons: Single bed in very small room. Itchy blanket. Dirty en-suite.

Pros: All I was looking for was a basic room for 1 night near Paddington Station. That's what I got. Room and shower. Small but adequate.

Cons: WiFi was only available in public areas on the first floor. No WiFi in room. Building is old and it shows. Breakfast didn't open until 8am on Friday, too late for me.
