Large Room, No Lift

I booked the Paddington Hotel through Londonnights.com which is a pretty good hotel booking service, by the way. The hotel is very convenient for transportation and is located on Gloucester Terrace, only a block from the Lancaster Gate tube and a couple of blocks from Paddington Station. Hyde Park is only a block away and there are busses that run along Bayswater road. You check in at the Royal Court Apartments across the street and are given a key. There is no lift in the Paddington Court so keep that in mind if you don't climb stairs very well. The breakfast is included though continental only. You can get a cooked breakfast if you pay extra. Cereal, toast, tea/coffee, it's enough to get you started.
Our room was a double bedded one and was very large. There was a small fridge as well which was convenient for keeping fresh milk for our coffee and tea. The bathroom wasn't big and the shower stall had no shelf for holding the soap or shampoo so that was a bit inconvenient. There was a dvd player in the room as well. We booked for 65 pounds a night for very off season but it might be a bit more than that now.

This is a older hotel. But it was very charming. They are remodeling the rooms. The staff was very friendly & very accomodating to all of our needs. The room we had booked was smaller than we needed, they put us into a studio apt at no extra charge. Also found a room for my son that joined us later in the trip. I would recommend this hotel as it was quiet & convenient to everything in the Paddington area.
You can do better

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful when possible. The hotel has a good location but leaves a lot to be desired. Fresh paint and new carpet would go along way in this old building converted to a hotel. If staying in London for more than a day or two I would recommend another hotel.
good location but not much else

Good location but very rough around the edges....there are many hotels in this area and I bet there is one nicer than this for the $$$

If you can get a good deal on this hotel, it is a great place to stay. Great location, helpful staff, clean, and comfortable. It even has a fridge. I was also able to check in to my room at 9:30 am - a great plus after a seven hour flight. If you are looking for luxury, looks elswhere. Given the prices for London, this place is a bargain.
