We were in apt downstairs which was difficult to manage with heavy luggage. When we arrived the person at the reception kindly took our cases down for us. We were also able to visit with friends in the dining area. The hotel is close to Paddington and to various small shops and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.

The lack of proper reception ( limited hours ) is not great for a London hotel. Plus key fob was hit and miss ; plus electrics look dodgy ; kettle did not work ; Would not go back as not cheap - and really poor value for money

This is the perfect location place to start getting acquainted with London. Staff and proprietor are wonderful, caring, and helpful. Clean as a whistle. If you have any mobility issues, you should call ahead and ask for a ground floor room. (No lift/elevator). Great proximity to public transit (Paddington Express to Heathrow, bus lines, Elizabeth line, underground). Note: no icebox or microwave if you need such things. But given the proximity of excellent food and sights not a big deal at all.

Would stay again.
The staff were lovely. The room was very adequate. It was on the smaller size, but perfectly normal for the UK. It was nice and quiet. Very convenient for the Metro and bus stops. Lots of restaurants. Negative would be the bed pillows, ours were very hard, and no hand soap in the bathroom. Maybe we could of asked for some, but didnt, just bought some to use. Overall, not bad and would stay again.

Thank you so much. I would advise you exactly the same. However you can not find any better value in Paddington than Falcon Hotel, if yes I am sure you would have booked it.

Good hotel to stay in for a weekend trip. The location of the hotel was convenient to get around the city due to it being to close Paddington Station. The front desk lady was helpful and friendly and let us know if we needed anything. Keep in mind the size of the rooms and bring your own bathing items. Overall, a good hotel to stay in to explore London.

Thank you so much for your review. One sentence attracted my attention "bring your own bathing items", we provide One Towel per person on daily bases, shampoo, body wash, toilet paper and hair dryer. We would like to know what other items you would have liked to be provided.

Thank you. We only have two rooms in whole building with Private toilet outside. We have clearly explain that in the room's description that. They are our cheapest Double rooms. If our guests DO NOT read that and go for the cheapest Double room and hope to change it to fully en-suite at the same rate on arrival in this case, would it be our fault and our poor services. GBP 99.00 in Central of London, what did they expect.

Great location and friendly, welcoming staff. However the property needs a significant amount of maintenance - very dated and damaged. The shower in my room did not work as the water just leaked out the wall fitting rather than the shower head. The bedrooms having lino flooring meant you could hear everything going on above you and around you. I think a few repairs and upgrades could really improve this hotel.

Woman who owns property is the nicest person I have ever dealt with. If you've never been to Europe, I would say this is quintessentially European. Everything is small - small room, small bath, small shower, but everything was clean and tidy. If you need to shop at the Big and Tall store, these showers might be too small for you. Otherwise, the location was unbeatable, the staff was great, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. This is a great option for travelers on a budget as European hotels are very pricey, and I would stay there again without a doubt.

Staff was so nice and very helpful. We felt safe and the property and area was very nice. But for being over 70, there were a lot of narrow stairs to climb and the room was very small. I recommend this hotel for the younger more agile 🙂.

Thank you so much for your kind feed back. We do say in our webpage , that Compact Rooms are small by definition and located on top floors, access by stairs as there is no lift in the building just like 99% of the Hotels in Norfolk Square. For these reason Compact rooms are cheaper than normal Double.That applies to our Single rooms as well; small and located on the top floors access by stairs only.

Guest arrived, even though we do describe the Single Rooms are, Small, Located on the Top floors, access by Steps only, she complained about the steps. The comfort and happiness of guests are paramount to us, more than the money they pay. Hence we cancel her booking and issued full refund.. Still she managed to leave an ill review for us in between the time we were speaking to Expedia to say we wave the cancellation charges. Some guests honestly !!!!!!!, never travelled to London or read what they book, non experienced, pay the lowest price, for their room , for a budget accommodation with much higher standard than any other similar place at least 30% cheaper in Paddington, Central London, except 5 Star quality. When Expedia relocated her to another place, outside London, she regret and asked us " weather she can stay". Obviously the answer was NO.

Great location! Will book again!
Had a great 5-night stay at Falcon Hotel. Good location less than 5 minutes from Paddington station and countless restaurants, very lovely ladies working the front desk. Currently not offering any breakfast options but with the pandemic, hardly surprising. Room and washroom were clean as well. We also accidentally left a journal and some letters that they offered to send to us. Thank you so much and would love to stay here again!
