The GOOD: The staff were courteous and friendly. The location is great as it's walking distance to Paddington Station so getting around is easy on the Tube, especially going on the Elizabeth Line to the airport. There are many shops and restaurants around. On our 2nd stay at the hotel, I made a request to stay on the upper level of the building which the friendly staff granted. The BAD: On our first booking, we were placed in a room in the basement. The ceiling light was not working. It was hard to get the right water temperature with the shower as it was either too hot or too cold. The kettle is made of metal so take caution as it may burn your arm. The small table was wobbly. The worst thing about being in the basement room is that every 3 to 5 mins the underground train comes in and it's located under the room which is not only loud but rattles your bed too. You will not be able to sleep if your room is in the basement. The UGLY: The room does not look like anything in the picture. The picture showed 3 or 4 beds, but in actuality it was one bed with bunk beds. It still sleeps 4 though. The basement room is also located next to the hotel's dinning area. There were also boxes placed around the corridor of the basement. In my opinion, the basement room should not be rented out at all. It needs to be a store or a staff room. I would stay here again because of The GOOD reasons given.

We really enjoyed the Shakespeare. Paddington Station is half a block away. In Paddington Station there is a grocery store, pharmacy/drug store, several restaurants, a Burger King and many other shops. It's well lit and upscale. And so, so close to the Shakespeare.

2 minutes walk to the tube and main line station. Lots of places to eat in the neighbourhood with easy access to all the sites and central London. The square has recently been renovated and buildings decorated. The staff at the hotel are super nice and helpful, letting us leave our luggage at hotel before & after check out. The room was clean and bright with a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The on suite was clean with soap & towel’s provided. We were on the 4th floor and no lift but not a problem as we are fit. We look forward to staying again.

This hotel was an exploration of gaslighting. What do I mean by that? Well, our room had a balcony, on which was a table and some chairs. A sign visible from inside the room forbade us from going onto the balcony. So why, then, were there a table and chairs on the balcony, except to make people who were not staying at the hotel think that there was balcony access? Our stay was riddled with contradictions like this. No potable water in the bathrooms, but a glass sitting next to the sink. A game room, but, oh wait, it costs a pound to play per individual game. I got a distinct sense that I had been bamboozled somehow, and now that I was in their care, all they wanted was to extract as much money from me as possible before sending me on my way. Not only is the water not potable in the bathrooms, but our bathroom had the bonus feature of having a strong swampy odor. (We lovingly nicknamed it the "Stink Room.") This odor got a bit better when you propped the door open, but that, of course, allowed the stink into the room proper. The shower in the bathrooms also was unacceptable. I had a broken ankle during my visit, and the bottom of the shower was so slippery, I was scared to bathe because I was afraid that I would fall. This is something that can be remedied with a plastic mat, which is not expensive to fix. We paid extra for breakfast, which was a mistake. The buffet had the same choices every day, everything was lukewarm, and the coffee was shockingly bitter.

Named after the world’s famous Shakespeare. Went to see The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare’s play few days earlier. A fan of Paddington Bear & the train station was named after the lovable bear born in Peru. These were my reasons to sample this hotel. I am a member of London’s Hospitality Institute doing my own research about the quality of UK’s hotels!

Stayed here with my sister for the weekend and it was lovely! Amazing and attentive staff. The hotel is located near various public transportation options which made getting your different parts of the city easy. There’s also a lot of dining options nearby that were delicious! Room was clean and bed was comfortable. I didn’t mind the stairs and loved the aesthetic of the hotel. It does get a bit noisy at night but it is a city after all so it wasn’t a problem for me. Definitely recommend!
