The hotel is ideally located, being very near to the company I was visiting and close to the fabulous Little Venice canal and Hyde Park. The rooms are a bit outdated and need modernizing but are still comfortable. The service was excellent, with staff going out of their way to assist. The dining experience, especially breakfast, had room for improvement with a repetitive menu. The location in London is excellent, but intrusive background music affected the dining and bar areas. Facilities were good overall, but being asked to download an App for Wi-Fi was inconvenient.

The dining experience offered a good variety despite some chaotic service. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, but improvements are needed.

The hotel had spacious and lovely rooms with good shower and good storage. Having two fold-down single beds available for children was a great feature. However, the cold air conditioning not working and uncomfortable bed were a drawback. The pool was cold and there was loud, awful music playing in the restaurant, foyer, and mezzanine area.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, right near Paddington Station, making it convenient for transportation, but the rooms were quite small for families and cleaning services were lacking. The service was exceptional, especially during busy times like breakfast. Dining offered a decent selection, but rooms layout felt a bit odd.

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel, the rooms were inviting for a family of four, although cleanliness could be improved. The service varied from satisfactory to needing improvement, especially at the bar in the evening. The location was excellent, offering easy access to Paddington station and nearby dining options. The dining experience, however, did not meet the expectations I had for an upscale hotel. Overall, a decent stay with some areas that could be enhanced.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, while advertised as superior and spacious, felt a bit cramped with two fold-out beds for the children. However, it provided me with the best night's sleep in 8 weeks of traveling. The service was top-notch, with special gestures for my daughter's birthday, but there were issues with room cleanliness. The location was convenient for transportation but somewhat odd for a holiday vibe. The dining experience offered delicious options but lacked variety for some preferences.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were very clean and incredibly quiet; I almost thought I was the only one there. The reception staff spoke excellent English, and Room 908 had an amazing view of Paddington's rail tracks. However, the room was a bit hot and stuffy, making it hard to get a good night's sleep due to the non-functional air conditioning.
