Adequate place to stay for cheap in a great location to be able to walk around London for a night or two. My husband and I arrived at Paddington station and it was only about a 10 minute walk. Not particularly clean, only a duvet on the bed which was too hot in August, but I wasn’t expecting the place to be very nice given the price. A couple of small bugs in the shower.
Took a star off because the noise level overnight was exceptionally bad— the upstairs neighbor was stomping around and talking at all hours of the night, and a woman came begging for money to the front door at 2am and because the window is just below the door, it was so loud and clear it felt like she was in our room. My husband and I aren’t especially light sleepers, but we had a really hard time sleeping with the continuous noise overnight.
