Mainly Price! Also location short walk to mainline & tube stations. A few local stores & restaurants with a wider selection a 10 minute stroll away.

Hotel waste water system very loud. Street noise, only single glazed windows.

Overall: Excellent value for single night stay. Polite staff & clean but compact room.  (107822758)

centrally located,friendly staff,decent breakfast,all room facilities in working order, reasonably clean, cheap

room very small, wear and tear very apparent, draughty when stood near single glazed patio style window, toilet flush embarrasingly loud.

Overall: Only needed to stay one night and expected something much worse but was pleasently quite surprised. Wife naturally found fault but admitted after leaving it was "okay"!!!  (107876507)

4.1 / 5 4.1 / 5 Michael [Exeter, GB] on 16/11/2008 (Group of work colleagues)

Very convenient to Paddington railway station. The staff are very friendly, efficient and welcoming. Breakfast facilities are excellent and well prepared in a simple but clean dining room in the basement.

The hotel has many floors with narrow stairs which is tricky and hard work if one has heavy luggage. The rooms we have used are cramped but adequate for a short stay.

Overall: A very convenient and comfortable overnight stay hotel with a more than adequate breakfast. It is quite expensive but I assume this could be in line with similar hotels in this popular area. We have used it twice now for a stopping off point to and from Heathrow airport and there are plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby for food.  (97091213)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
