Good location”

Location is good and staffs are friendly

Great location, ambiance”

The hotel is situated very near to Paddington Station. The park in front is a good place o unwind after a hectic day of sightseeing. The downside of the hotel is they do not have a lift. I have to leave my luggage at the reception and just bring with me to my room what I only need for the day. Also, if your room is located at the basement, chances are you will here the trains pass through underground.

Great location ”

The only negative about this hotel was the fact there was no elevator as we had 4 suitcases. But we put everything we needed for our short stay in one case and left the rest in storage so it worked out ok. Breakfast was simple but ample. I would definitely stay there again. Next to Paddington tube and train station and minutes from Hyde park.

Great location”

Great location. Everything else is satisfactory but maybe there could be a better communication between staff. Made some requests beforehand and was approved but front desk wasn't aware of it. Caused a bit of distress but eventually it was all sorted out.

Basement Rooms”

Basement Rooms are not good. You can hear the metro going by every 5 min and everything trembles so much it like if you were actually in the station. I could not sleep at all. For the rest it was good, cleanness, facilities, friendliness, etc,,

Great value in Paddington”

A 2 minute walk from Paddington station, we stayed here for 2 nights on our way through London. We walked to Hyde Park and central London. Good breakfast provided. For the price, it was great value and exactly what we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

We didn't get the room we book”

We booked this hotel 3 months before check in, confirmed and paid. When we check in to the hotel, the reception said the hotel is fully booked. No room for us. No notification before we check in. Then they sent us to another hotel.

Location & cleanliness”

It's very near to Paddington train station & metro station, about 4 minutes walk. There are many restaurants & mini mart around hotel. The room is tiny & clean. The breakfast is good with waffles, breads, cereals & eggs.

Good location but that’s all”

The location of the hotel is really good. Right next to Paddington station. Walking to distance to Hyde park and convenient to get to Oxford St. On the down side, the hotel price compared to room size, facilities and breakfast doesn’t make sense. The rooms are very very small. I could stretch my legs open and touch both the walls. The room divider are cardboard so you literally hear them next room and anyone outside. There is no lift, so if you luggage, good luck to you. A the stairs are also very narrow. You can’t carry a luggage next to you, you have to carry it behind you. Breakfast is horrible so don’t bother. Shower won’t fit a person who wear L size clothes. Probably a very thin person can fit in. There is no shampoo or toothpaste provided so pack everything. Better options around Bayswater. Will not return.

Good value for money”

This hotel is convenient to use the public transport. It locates at 5 minutes walking distance from the Paddington station. Its room was clean. All equipment at the room worked well. The breakfast was the american style. it tastes great.

Exceptional”

Good hotel in Paddington Area and close to Hyde Park, buses at every corner, easy to reach central London. We had a triple room, spacious with a garden view and a small balcony. The room was cleaned daily also clean towels were replaced daily. Breakfast was basic, loved the waffles, coffee not the best but ok for some days. Great place if you want to visit London. I would definitely return.

Excellent location”

Rooms are spacious and clean, friendly staffs, reasonable price for staying in the middle of London, very close to Paddington station, only 4 minutes walk from the station with lots of restaurants near the place

Everything at superlative”

The hotel is located in a superb area next to Paddington Station. In front of the hotel there is a wonderful park where you can see numerous pigeons and squirrels. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is varied. It deserves a try.

Good Hotel”

Good Hotel in Central London. I stayed 8 nights here in Single room and find it more convenient to travel from there to any where in London as it is very near to Paddington Station. Room was clean and tidy and they replaced towel every day. Breakfast is superb with enough options in buffet.

Great value for money”

After staying at several hotels in London and Paris on this trip, Shakespeare stands out for its friendly staff, decent sized rooms (not as small as others we were in) and the breakfast. While the spread was simple, there was enough variety to not bore us over three breakfasts. And the fresh waffles were great! If you're not too fussy, want to stay near shops and amenities, especially near the tube station, this place offers more than what you'll pay for it.

Location is what you're paying for ”

We were asked to stay in the Dolphin Hotel, next to Shakespeare. They provide a decent breakfast and the room is warm. Don't worry about the tube noise, it won't bother you. The staff are so friendly!

Good”

Perfect location, you're right near the tube (which is the most important thing to me) There are plenty of resturants nearby incase you're hungry. The area is very pretty. The only problem is that because it's so close to the train, you do end up hearing it sometimes. Not an issue for me, but could be for some. Otherwise great value for your money. Great place for a solo traveler..

Location good but room not good”

We booked 1 single bed and 1 double bed room, but they gave us 1 double bed and 1 sofa bed. Cleanliness was not bad, but the bed was so old that it was too noisy. Also before 12.30 a.m you won’t fall asleep because of the train(or tube) noise. The location was great, but that’s all.

Location, location, location”

Great location, easy acces to underground train and many buses stop. You will find anything you need around the hotel. Just name it, convenient store, restaurant, souvenir shop, barber shop, nail saloon, coffe shop, post office, money changer, ATM, ect, everything walking distance from the hotel.
