Host is very clear on what you can expect from this room and it's in a terrific location, just a 5-10 minute walk to Paddington station and right next to Hyde Park. The noise from the water pump wasn't too bad for me. However there were some days where there was very little hot water and weak cold showers were all I could get. The room got very very hot. I stayed in this room in the midst of summer and with no fan, it got unbearable some nights. I suggest bringing your own small fan and to the host - investing in a fan for the room would be great for future guests during summer. The locks were also pretty dodgy. The door does not close in the shower room. Having to keep it shut by using a fire extinguisher is not ideal. And be careful with the locks in the bathrooms as they are quite rusty and get stuck. I nearly got trapped in the bathroom once and never locked again because of this. Overall I got decent value, however some small maintenance things that can be quite easily fixed by the host would've made this stay more comfortable.
