Shakespeare Hotel

The room was very clean but small. No central ac so had to use a small provided tower fan. Breakfast was not included but heard good things. The people in the reception were nice to help us figure out paddington station and optional routes with the strikes. The shower was small but powerful and hot which was good after long days exploring london. One downside was the hotel was noisy, typically when anyone used water in other rooms we could hear it. The biggest downside is I am pretty sure the skinny, shakey staircases are from the time of Shakespeare himself. But for the money and time spent the hotel satisfied our needs.

No air conditioning, only small fans. I visited during a heat wave which was very unpleasant. Shared bathrooms didn't have any way to dry your hands. Outlets had very poor power output. Got catcalled in the small park right outside and there was trash piled up along the other buildings in the area. It is an older building, so very tight spaces and steep stairs.

Property was not at all as expected and is not properly reflected in the photos on Expedia. The hotel is not well maintained. The bathroom smelled of sewer and the hotel stairs were old and unsafe. We were not provided with the accommodation that we booked. We promptly left after checking in and canceled our next night. I requested a refund from the hotel and Expedia May 23rd and have received no credit or follow up.

Room was small, beds were narrow (small single) view was poor...decor is very dated and the pictures in the advert make it look better than it was.....however it was clean and the bathroom was very small but modern and functional.

The hotel location is excellent with clean basic rooms. Breakfast is fairly average, but good to have if you're like me and want to grab a bite before getting on with your day. Unfortunately you could hear the underground from our basement room which was a bit disruptive. It also seemed a shame that the games room required coins to play rather than being freely available to guests. It just seems like a missed opportunity to create more of a social hub.

The location is excellent for transportation, it is a quiet tree lined street with a park out front of the door. A reprieve from the busy streets around Paddington. It is a value hotel being close to the station and Hyde and Kensington Parks. Small rooms, no lifts or air conditioning, just a fan and a window that opens yet not fully. Clean. The bed was soft and a bit lumpy yet we seemed to sleep well on it. Overall we would use this location for a short stay, it is fine for a busy single or couple that just wants to rest their head at the end of the day. The water was hot with reasonable pressure for the shower. We would stay here again yet would likely say it is a pass for a demanding individual that seeks more.

Good hotel for the price in a good location. Amenities were basic which was fine for a London trip. Comfortable bed and a good breakfast.

Stayed over the hottest week ever, just for a night. The room was really well equipped for what we needed. Shower was pretty lame. No water pressure which wasn't ideal. Rooms were crazy hot

Accessible hotel, very close to the train station and very convenient. But it’s quite run down and have no lift, I lived on the fourth floor and had to do the stairs, and the stairs are quite narrow. For older travellers with big luggage it could be a nightmare. Breakfast included did not have many choices. I arrived at 9 (it finished at 9:30) and there was already no forks and they were not trying to refill at all. Also, no body wash or shampoo in the bathroom.

Could hear tubes all night, rooms aren’t very soundproof
