basic but adequate stay

small roomold mattress
The room was small. Suitcase space was nonexistent. i also noticed a strange smell coming from the bathroom, almost like sewage, unpleasant. the mattress felt quite old with springs poking through, this made sleeping difficult.

just okay, some issues with room size and breakfast

good locationsmall roomwatery eggs
the location was good, very close to paddington station and bus routes.
The room was small, really too small for comfort. breakfast was also a letdown. The english breakfast offered very limited options. it included watery eggs and a single sausage, missing bacon and other traditional items. the lack of variety was disappointing, and i expected better for the price.

The location is great! It is very close to the train station and buses are just down the street, I found getting around very easy. The man on the front desk was very nice every time I saw him. I was even allowed to leave my bags after check out, so convenient!
The twin room was too small! There was no table between the beds. The bathroom was also too small and not enough light in there. It felt too dark, I think!
