Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Pride Of Paddington enjoys a superb location right by Paddington Station, with easy access to various Underground lines and national rail services. Guests often compliment the recently decorated rooms with comfortable beds, and the presence of amenities like mini-fridges and kettles. Many appreciate the convenience of having a pub downstairs, frequently enjoying meals there; though a few have mentioned that noise from the pub can be noticeable at times. Some apartments are located on the upper floors which may be challenging to access due to the absence of an elevator.

super clean room amazing shower great location chaotic check-in rushed welcome warm water
The room was super clean. the shower was amazing. the location is great. The tube and train are right across the road.
check-in was chaotic. they don't use the check-in desk, so you're standing at a bar with your luggage next to people ordering drinks waiting for your turn. the welcome is a bit rushed. there was no complimentary water, and the water from the bathroom tap was too warm.

Really good Stay NEAR Paddington!

excellent location spacious room delicious breakfast helpful staff
The location IS unbeatable, right across from Paddington Station (access to Heathrow express!). My room had a tv, table, fridge, and luggage space. The bathroom included complimentary toiletries. Breakfast served downstairs WAS a traditional full English, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. IT was so delicious!
The stairwell DID have a slight musty smell.

Adequate stay near the station

excellent location english breakfast vegetarian option first floor late noise morning noise
The location is very convenient. Paddington Station is very close, including the Elizabeth line. The pub serves a full English breakfast. I tried both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and found them delicious.
My room was on the first floor. The noise from the pub was noticeable until late. Starting at 6 AM the staff also made noise. I needed earplugs to sleep well.
