 I was a little surprised on checking in to find that I needed to have photo ID with me This is the first time that I have been asked for this in a London hotel Maybe it is a new rule It was fine as I did have ID with me but not everyone would and so it s worth being aware of 
 It was very easy to find being right next to Paddington Station you take the Praed Street exit The room was comfortable yes small but this was what I expected and was reflected in the price The staff were pleasant I didn t have breakfast so can t comment
