The position was brilliant! Coffee, restaraunts, shops, stations all in close proximity. Staff were friendly and kind. Being so close to Paddington station was invaluable. Although close, it was far enough to be peaceful. Although rooms were small, they were adequate and clean. Worth it for the great location!
