convenient location clean room nice breakfast narrow stairs slow hot water small glasses
the location proved very convenient (it really is close to everything). i liked the cleanliness of the room. the pub downstairs served a really nice breakfast, and it was a nice way to start the day.
the stairs to the upper floors are quite narrow. i also noticed the hot water took a little while to come through in the mornings. the glasses provided in the room were a bit small for water, a minor thing really.

awful noise slow sink
The location was decent. The paddington station was close.
The noise level from the street was awful. I had trouble sleeping. the room was also quite small, and there wasn't enough space to properly store my luggage. the bathroom sink drained very slowly, frustrating.
