Be aware: there is building work underway on the outside of the hotel which means scaffolding and workmen outside windows, and drilling noise from 9am until 5pm. We did not find this out until we checked in! The official Accor website only shows this if you open the "Hotel Information" box, and states this will be the case from January until November 2024. It is NOT MENTIONED in the Expedia details, only in the customer reviews (which we unfortunately did not read before making a last-minute booking!). Having said that, the staff were extremely friendly, patient and helpful, and the noise did not affect us as we were out all day. The location in Paddington Central is ideal for accessing the tube, with all central tourist attractions within a few stops. There is an excellent selection of bars, coffee shops and restaurants around the picturesque canal setting. The bathroom faciltiies in our room were a bit dated and could do with modernising. However when we reported in the morning that our shower door was leaking it had been dealt with by the time we returned for dinner.

This property was in a great location; very walkable to Paddington Station from where you can get anywhere in London. The staff were superb, the hotel was clean and very modern and the rooms quite spacious and comfortable. The area around the hotel was very quiet but within a short distance there were lots of lively dining spots. The breakfast had lots of wonderful choices for all tastes. We would definitely return to this hotel for future stays in London.

Slightly out of the way for our itinerary but that was our choice. Room was for 2 adults 1 child and room was only made up for 2 (happens in a lot of places and was quickly rectified). However, building work going on at the hotel, scaffolding up and some noise. When we got to the room, could not see out of windows due to scaffolding and covering. This was not explained on Expedia site or communicated by the reception staff at check in. We were glad we arrived on a Friday, as not sure who would be outside your window waking up on a working day!

Our second stay here. Would have greatly appreciated being told there was extensive renovations being carried out to the hotel exterior. Our view from our room (previously fabulous) was of scaffolding and tarp and tools. Nothing else at all. Very very disappointing. It was a special birthday surprise trip for my husband.

The hotel is currently under construction- they start drilling and banging very early. They don’t verbally mention this upon check-in. It is a small blurb on their welcome letter. You have to book a time to use the pool and it closes very early ( not convenient or spontaneous). Not good value for the money because of the above reasons. Otherwise, it is a good location and clean room.

There were several problems with the hotel. First, when booking with Expedia we were not told that the hotel was under construction. Our room was not very clean. The bathroom sink took about 20 minutes to drain after each use. There were only 2 usable electric outlets which does not work well for family with many devices to charge. I would not stay again.

The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars for Property Conditions & Facilities is because the outside of the hotel was under construction. And that’s only because I think I should have been notified prior to my stay. Otherwise, everything else was lovely. Constantly clean and easy to navigate layout. And though I had limited interaction with staff, any time I did speak to anyone, they were all great!

This property bis easy for access to Underground and Railways with a short walk of 10mins. The surroundings are attractive with the grand Union Canal. The staff there are helpful and the breakfast included is a very good quality English breakfast. The Ac worked very well and quiet. Our room was not cleaned daily during our 9 days stay. But once we asked the reception, it was cleaned. We killed a crawling bug - about 3cm on our room carpet. So we requested the room to be cleaned that day!
