 I stayed in a standard single room and it was very small I returned to the hotel after a short trip to Europe and booked a double single room which was a bit bigger however it was still really small Funnily enough by the second day it felt very cosy and a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of London There is no bar fridge Although the hotel is located in a very busy area the windows appear soundproofed and the hotel leaves you earplugs on your bedside table I had no trouble sleeping due to noise The rooms were made up everyday refreshed with clean towels and water bottles and amenity bottles The gym is small but has everything you need Only one treadmill for running so you need to time your visit The lift also broke down during my stay which I personally didn t find a problem Staff happily carried down all my luggage on check out day 
 This hotel is located right next to Paddington Station Paddington Underground and London buses So easy to get around London and I love Bus 23 which will take you past Oxford St Regent St Picadilly and down to St Pauls Cathedral The breakfast restaurant Garfunkels is very good for both breakfast and dinner There are plenty of pubs and cafes nearby with Tesco a short walk away The hotel also gives you a free phone which has an internet connection I used it every day to check maps directions and even made international calls All free Very very useful and I was impressed The front reception was friendly and helpful There was security in the front lobby at all times As a solo traveller at the end of my visit I found this very reassuring
