"Stayed here many times now and it never fails to impress me. We had a lovely room on the first floor with a Thames and Tower Bridge view. Breakfast was excellent as normal. First time we had used the self check in which is very efficient but I have to say I much prefer the interaction we always had previously with the check in staff. Happy guests and we will return x"

"3rd time staying at this hotel, and as usual it didn’t disappoint. The minute you walk in the door you are met by welcoming staff. Our room type wasn’t correct upon check in, had requested a twin but were allocated a king however this was quickly rectified. Room and facilities perfect. We dined in the Primo Bar on our first night. Menu and food choices were great. All in all I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, as it’s so convenient for discovering central Westminster area on foot or by bus. Would highly recommend 10/10!"

Atrium Hotel Heathrow

10/10 Excellent
"Atrium is a GREAT location. Across the street from Hatton Station to take the tube or catch a bus. From any terminal in Heathrow, there is no need to get a taxi or Uber. Get on the tube from any of the Heathrow terminals and the first stop is Hatton. Get off at Hatton, walk upstairs, Atrium Hotel is across the street. You can get on the tube at Hatton and go straight into London for dinner, drinks and entertainment. Amazingly quiet, even with planes taking off and landing near the hotel. What I did not like, there are no hooks or towel racks in the bathroom or in the rooms. Lighting at bathroom mirror is terrible for shaving and face care. The hotel does not have any vending machines for snacks/sodas or a mini store to buy snacks or sodas."

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I've been here two times now and every time it has been very good. convenient location only a few blocks from Paddington station and the main stretch to Hyde park. The rooms are very clean and tidy but the best thing about the rooms and I can't state this enough is the good air ventilation, no warm stuffy rooms, we even got a balcony the first round. Breakfast is probably most people's favourite, they have a clean dining area which was good for talking to other people, plus when you order the staff bring food to you not even 3 minutes later. How good is that! The staff are some the kindest you'll ever meet, if you have the chance have a nice chat with them. Now for the cons these are mostly nitpicking. the amenities weren't the best having no tv, hair-dryer and kettle set is unfortunate but I think if you're in your room watching tv are you really having a holiday? Also I don't really count the kettle as if you ask for one they are nice enough to provide one. I think for this price and everything that is provided. breakfast, Nice clean room and this excellent location this is a steal."
