This hotel was booked as a last-minute replacement due to a change of dates and, I have to say I was impressed regardless of the cheaper price we paid. I would describe it as a cheap and cheerful budget option. We booked an overnight stay as a family of 3. The welcome to the hotel was good and check-in was quick and easy complete with Wi-Fi information (a key thing when travelling with a teenager!). First impressions were that the hotel was very clean but with some areas needing some attention. In our room, it was particularly the bathroom. Minor things like the mirror which had age spots on it, cracks in wall tiles, the shower base which had some damage on it, rusting on the shower curtain rail and extra metal fittings on the walls which didn't serve any purpose (see photos). Just addressing these little things would make the stay so much nicer visually for the guest. As a former hotel receptionist myself, I know it can often be the little things that make all the difference. That said, these things did not impede our stay as the shower was not needed, we just needed a place to stay for the night and this hotel certainly fit the bill. The beds were comfortable and the room was at the back of the hotel which ensured a quiet night (bar the noisy downpour of rain we had!). We did have to keep the window open though as the room was very warm and there is no air conditioning. The room came with a TV, a small wardrobe with a few hangers, a small fridge (which came in very handy for keeping drinks cool) and a tea / coffee tray, which could only have been improved by the addition of decaf versions of the drinks on offer. The location of the hotel is good as it is close to Edgware Road with places like McDonalds, Argos, Tesco, Greggs, Tesco and Superdrug all within 10 minutes of walking distance. There are also no end of other independent shops should you need something. It is also close to tube stations and Paddington. Overall, we were more than happy to spend a night at this hotel and would use it again if we needed a place for the night. I do think I would suggest somewhere else for 3 nights + though, as the room is rather small for a family of 3 compared to others we have stayed in.
