Queensway Hotel - London, United Kingdom 

I paid 69 pounds/night for a 3 day stay in June, via Venere.com. Overall very positive experience, I would stay here again. Pros: - 5 min walk from Paddington station. Very convenient if you're taking the Heathrow express to/from Paddington. - very clean - strong reliable internet (in my room at least) - ensuite bathroom (tiny but functional) - ~5 min access to two tube stations - pleasant staff - a handful of restaurants and small shops nearby (all tourist oriented however). Supermarket nearby. Shops aren't all on the same street however, so you'll need to ask for directions and/or wander around a bit. - walking distance to Hyde Park - elevator to basement, 1, 2, 3 floors Cons: - the elevator doesn't go up to the 4th floor (which is built up in the old attic) and the stairs are fairly steep and narrow, so if you have difficulty carrying your luggage up stairs, you should ask for a room on a lower floor. - this is a budget tourist zone -- so if you want to eat at a nicer restaurant, or a "locals" restaurant, you'll likely need to eat elsewhere (although the Frontlne Club restaurant is nearby and it's great -- you will need reservations for it, unless you're lucky to get a seat at the bar)

Booked two nights for convenience to Paddington and had single room (no 6). There are another 2 single rooms which I would recommend as no 6 is in the basement next to the breakfast room and an enclosed outside area with doors leading to breakfast area - so very noisy. Room clean and compact - please understand compact with capital C! My main complaint is the indifferent staff, moreso at breakfast. We came in and sat down at a table but were told (not asked) to go to small table. The milk jugs from tables recently vacated were poured into the main jug used to fill cereal bowls etc. - perhaps done out of sight might have been better! Hang on to your breakfast as it is cleared up post haste. Please try to sort this out as the milk situ is really not great to look at or hear and friendliness isn't in abundance. However if you need a place to put your head and want convenience miss out room no 6 and this is the place for you!
