4Spent just one night here. Booked a standard double but were upgraded to a business room on arrival. Not a huge room, but very comfortable with Wifi, bathrobe and slippers, tea & coffee, iron and trouser press and big TV. Bed was comfortable (certainly given the price we paid; have stayed in more expensive places and had a horrible bed) . In the bathroom there was a small bath and good shower with a fixed head and also a hand shower. Water pressure was good. There is a notice to say they set the water temperature to a certain level for safety. I found the water was fine in the evening but not very hot the next morning, but that would be my only complaint.
We did not have breakfast as we felt we could get it cheaper somewhere else and did not want 'The Full English'.
The location is very good and close to Lancaster Gate, as other reviewers have said, but I found it is not 9 mins walk from Paddington as they say on the website. It took me at least 15 and I walk quickly!
The colour scheme is certainly bright and may not be to everyone's taste, but it was all clean. The staff were helpful and friendly and we will happily stay here again.
