Enjoyable, very cosy ”

The hotel is 5 min walk from the Paddington station and it is in the office area with mostly office buildings around. The hotel looks very new and we stayed in the executive room which was very nice. The rate included the buffet breakfast, I guess this is because there are not many restaurants around. There is nothing much to do around Paddington area, but it is just a few stops from the major attractions in London, and there are trains departing from Paddington to other cities/towns e.g. Oxford. There are Heathrow Connect and Heathrow Express which take 35 and 15 minutes respectively from Paddington to Heathrow. I highly recommend this hotel, not only because of its quality but also the easy access to Heathrow. It's a nightmare to travel by tube in London with two 20-kg luggage with a backpack, and staying in Paddington means it is just one train journey from Heathrow to your hotel without the need to change to the tube. You can do the last-minute sightseeing/shopping, then head back to the hotel to get the luggage and walk bacl to the Paddingtion station and take the train to Heathrow.

Pleasant overnight stay”

Stayed overnight in London to catch the heathrow express the day after with elderly parents (sixties). U have to know the nearest exit from paddington underground or else u risk the dragging your luggage on cobblestone "Venetian" walkway along the canal. Perfect if u r traveling light but we were at the end of the trip so it was not fun at all. Front desk staff were helpful and friendly with printing of boarding pass because the guest printer wasn't working. However needed to wait because only 1 staff was at the reception almost anytime. Sheldon square is a nice hang out in summer. There are restaurants and boats for occasions along the canal. There is a sainsbury as well. Location is very good for heathrow express and paddington station. Just 5 min walk on smooth pavement if u know the way (albeit a small portion was uphill and 1 flight of stairs is unavoidable. Breakfast,facility,room: 4 star alright. Pool was indoor,smallish. Room concept probably same across the world (similar to Munich airport Novotel). Lavatory separate from shower which was also separate from the bathtub. The sofa bed was really a bed (can be expanded etc). Not the regular unexpandable bed like material cushion in the shape of a sofa. Can fit two teenage girls or petite adults.

Excellent accomodation for my family on first trip to London.”

We came to London for the first time in our lives. Lots of caution and warnings given by friends etc..about how expensive accomodation and things can be. The Novotel is surprisingly affordable and modest accomodation. Stations are close by walking distance. Bad luck during our stay the strike happened and disrupt the experience. Overall, our stay in Novotel Paddington has been comfortable, peaceful and enjoyable. The hotel breakfast buffet has simple and adequate choice of English breakfast spread. Authentic. As for hotel transportation, perhaps in future there should be airport transfer/ shuttle for guests?

impressive”

I enjoy my stayed at Novotal London Paddington Hotel very much. The room was new and clean. The size of the room is about right and the service was good. The location of the Novotel London Paddington may be a little bit difficult to find. I have to ask several local people in order to get to the hotel. However, the view was great. I love the scenery of the river side.

Our weekend transit at Novotel Paddington, London”

It was an uneventful stay as we were there for only one night before our flight home to Malaysia. This is the first time we stayed at Novotel London. Pleasantly surprised by the welcoming and warm environment, within waking distance to London Paddington train station. Will definitely stay there again if we visit London again.

Nice modern hotel, good quiet location”

stayed here on a short visit to london. the location is great, and is probably second only to staying on top of paddington station. quick 10 minute walk, although not so pleasant if it happens to be raining. the hotel is in a nice quiet location. the rooms are comfortable and furnishings nice. one thing i wasn't too fond of was that our toilet was separate from the bathroom (ie, a separate wc room). also, the hotel is located in the heart of an office block, so don't be surprised to see office workers from your room during the weekday (weekends are correspondingly quiet though). the free wifi is also really slow (limited bandwidth unless you pay), but at least they provided some wifi. it was december, and they served free mulled wine on some of our evenings, which was a really nice touch.

very nice modern hotel, and ideal if coming by train”

this is a very new hotel with good facilities, but be warned if you come by car its not that easy to find reasonable priced parking the area, but then again it is London. its a nice walk from the hotel along the renovated canal if you are heading towards hyde park, and there a good sprinkling of chain eateries in this new area.

Easy access to Paddington ”

Novotel is very comfortable hotel within easy walking distance to Paddington train station. Thriving modern office metropolis around the hotel. Very quiet on weekends. Good family hotel to let the kids air off steam in London.

Pampered and comfortable”

I stayed for a total of 2 nights at the executive room. The room was well equipped, clean, spacious and tidy, which exceeded my expectations for a hotel in London. There was free usage of internet as well as a coffee machine in the room (for those who like nespresso coffee this is a bonus). Tiny glitch: the kettle had rusting metal, but was changed readily upon request. Decent indoor pool and gym. Location wise it is ok. Not as near to Paddington station (and eventually the tube itself as the station is huge) as I had wished but it was manageable. From hotel to the tube platform was about 15-20min brisk walk. All in all, I would say I had an enjoyable time at Novotel. Very trustworthy.

High quality in every respect”

My wife and I booked in three nights early because of a change of plans. Front desk originally said that they were full for at least one of the additional nights, but... between their desire to accommodate us and the privileges of my Club L'Accor platinum card they found room by bumping us up with an upgrade. Five minute walk from Paddington station so in town Transport was a breeze. Room, staff, food and everything were very good for a clearly business focused hotel. Will gladly go back next time I am in London.

Great location”

After traveling half way across the world I wanted a good quality hotel for a few days in London to recover from the jet lag. The Novotel is in a lovely location at Paddington basin with some decent eateries and a sainsbury's local close by. Despite being right next to the flyover, the room was very quiet and comfortable. We arrived around 10pm and had a good pizza in the bar before heading to bed. Our view was directly into an office block, so generally kept the curtains closed. I expected a bath in the room, but only had a shower, it was a very good shower though. Unfortunately I didn't get time to try the pool and facilities. Great complimentary WIFI.

Very convenient location and comfortable room”

Staffs were so helpful, and the room was a lot bigger than we expected of London. It's very close to the Paddington station and bus stops. I prefer Novotel to other hotels close by:)

Convenient location”

Very new hotel and in clean condition. Bed was comfortable enough. Sheets were crisp with a fluffy duvet. Windows opened. Enough living space. The bathroom is a little small but certainly big enough. The hotel is a five minute walk from Paddington. Would stay here again as is extremely convenient. They have a good breakfast buffet, with a little something to keep everyone happy. My room overlooked Paddington Station but I didn't find the noise bothered me. Front desk staff were very friendly.

Modern comfortable Hotel, Fantastic staff”

Novotel Paddington is short walk to Heathrow express or Padding underground, making it very convenient when flying in. The modern rooms offer very comfortable beds, fast wifi and breakfast. Staff here are the best we have experienced offering us a very early checkin, so we were able to catch up on jetlag. Checkout had one of the staff offering to help with bags to station! Outstanding service!

Wonderfully satisfied”

The stay at Novotel London Paddington Hotel was indeed a wonderful one. Staff are so helpful in providing directions/advice; the room was neatly cleaned up on a daily basis even without us reminding! The hotel is conveniently located, just minutes' walk to the Paddington train station.

Great Location for traveling around London”

I always use the hotel for traveling to London for easy access to everywhere. It's in a nice quiet place very close to Paddington. Great for those who prefer clean and quiet with quick access to other nearby locations. It's a little far if you walk with heavy suitcases but easy access for those who take taxis.

Business hotel”

For a business hotel, this is what you want. Efficient check-in and check-out, clean and spacious air-conditioned room protected from traffic noise, spotless wifi which let you work uninterrupted, and last but not least close to Paddington station which has an express train straight to Heathrow airport. The only negative: the first receptionist would have me pay full price for 24-hour Internet access even though I stayed for a week, but the manager was more generous and offered me a kind discount.

Excellent hotel with very helpful staff”

We travelled with our 6th grader and a one year old baby and we must say that the room (a large bed with a sofa bed) is just about the right size. The hotel feels new and the room is quite clean and comfortable. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Paddington underground station is just a short 10-minute walk. We will definitely stay here again.

nice hotel, will come again”

very good experience, 5 mins walk from Paddington station. But note that the closest exit is the exit near Paddington train station, we went out from the exit at Praed Street on arrival and spent more than 15 mins to walk to the hotel with all our luggage which was terrible. The location was good, with sainsbury, pret a manjer, starbucks nearby, there were a few restaurants nearby too. The hotel serves dinner even as late at 10 pm, which was thoughtful and wonderful.

Fantastic location ”

Located next to Paddington station and a step away from Little Venice, the Novotel is an ideal stay for travellers to London. The buffet breakfast is very good and the welcome drink for Accor members was very welcome indeed. Hôtel also has a decent gym and swimming pool .
