adequate stay, but issues noted

cramped space poor sound insulation
My room felt quite cramped. the space around the bed was minimal. i also found the noise levels to be excessive. Sounds from the hallway and adjacent rooms easily penetrated the walls. this made it difficult to relax or get a good night's sleep. i expected better sound insulation, especially given the price.

Good Location, Simple Basics

convenient location useful fridge clean towel coffee facilities
I appreciated its close location. Paddington Station was a short walk away. My room had a mini fridge. This proved helpful for keeping drinks cold. The staff provided clean towels to our room daily. We also got tea and coffee making facilities.
My room was on the top floor, four flights up, and there was no elevator. This made it a little difficult with luggage.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to transport hubs as Paddington Station is just a 5 minute walk away. There are also various restaurants and shops nearby, providing easy access to dining and basic needs.
