 I have had better rooms at this hotel This time I had a ground floor double which was very small and the shower room was minute I am 6 2 tall and the only way to use the toilet was side saddle Just about OK for one person for one night If I was staying longer I would have requested a room change 
 Location is brilliant Near Paddington and a choice of tube lines I have stayed here a number of times and do recommend the Shaftesbury despite my negative comments this time
