I’m not sure what bedbugs look like, but I think they have an infestation.

It was ok for the price paid. The room was basic, but was fine for sleeping, as expected with a hotel like this you hear plenty of noise from above and the landings.

A little tatty but perfectly adequate for a weekend break. A bit of noise in the ground floor room but I still slept well on the comfortable bed

10/10

Another quick visit to London and The Shakespeare. It's ideal for its convenient location, which is close to Paddington Rail & Tube, with nearby choice of food and drink establishments. The room is small but perfectly suitable for a solo one-night stay, with a good shower and comfortable bed, along with helpful staff.

Surprisingly spacious room for the price in central London. Good bars and restaurants in the area but a little spoiled by the rubbish bags and homeless people in the vicinity. Nonetheless I would definitely book again as this isn't the hotels fault.

We had a lovely time. We went to London to see The cirque du soleil.The hotel is very central and very clean, ideal if you want to stay central with eatery around and a underground a few steps away.We definitely come back. Lovely staff as well.

Good location just around the corner from Paddington station. It’s not the ritz but great for a one night stay after a night out. Yes you do hear the underground sometimes but it’s fine.

The Shakespeare was ideal for my one night stay in London, being conveniently close to Paddington Station. The staff were helpful and the room was clean with comfortable bed and good shower.

6/10

Every few mins. a train passes under or near the building and it rumbles like the building is falling apart. And a sign in the room advises you to not drink the water. Never have I booked a room with non-potable water.

8/10

Only spent a night, but it was a comfy stay. I'll have no issue returning. Good value for money given the prices in London.
1-night trip

10/10

The hotel is an excellent place to use as a base for London as very close to Paddington station and allows for luggage to be stored before check in and after check out. The staff were very helpful, the room was very clean and extremely comfortable. We did not eat at this hotel so cannot comment on food.
