Room was quite functional but if you’re looking for pristine living conditions, you will be disappointed The hostel was very close to the transportation lines and the sightseeing busses, the check in was quite easy and our luggage was transported from the check in place to our hostel. It was great. We weren’t sure what we would be getting when we booked a hostel, not a hotel. The location was near small shops and food vendors. Lots of pleasant surprises I would book there again

The property is for families wanting to really see London. It’s
Not a cozy place to hangout. It’s exactly what it states, the customer service is good, if you need anything they will adress it and assist you. Just note the guest desk isn’t at same location. Luckily the housekeeping staff was kind to show us the way. Other than that! For the price, location it’s near Paddington square to catch train and very nearby most of the sights just note it’s a lot of walking so the train is a great asset. Everyone is pleasant and very nice! For our family of 6 it was a great place for us. Please note the space is limited but that’s only because our original room was being renovated. Which is out of our control and the property. But truly worked out for us. If handicap, or traveling with an elderly parent etc. ask for a room on 1st floor or main building. Peaceful and worked for our needs.

Decent value compared to other nearby hotels, as the location is great (other than the 5min walk to reception) though the room wasn't very good. The shower had varied pressure that just stopped once mid-use and there was a strong smell from the bathroom. It didn't seem like anything was leaking directly into the bathroom but still was unpleasant.

Easy Check-in. Helpful staff, always there for you to help. Many restaurants nearby and many transport links are available. Right across Hyde Park, some minutes away from Oxford Street and less than about two minutes away from the Paddington station where my train got me and took me back to the airport. The location is very convenient and the kind owner is always there to offer sightseeing advice as well as a hot cup of tea. As for the rooms, they were clean and quiet. The only bad part was that a small park/garden which is exactly in front of the place was closed for gardening so I couldn't have a break there but other than that, because of their down to earth attitude whenever I will be back I will be choosing them and If they are fully booked I'll still be paying a visit to Mrs Litsa, the lovely owner.

As a woman alone on my own and as I arrived at the hotel where the check ins are being made, I've met a very nice woman named Litza the owner who offered me a nice cup of coffee and offered me some traditional sweets she had from her country, baklava. Then I went to my room which everything was perfect and clean. All the staff was very helpful. During my stay I had an issue one night, I had severe headache and I was out of paracetamol amd every pharmacy and shop was closed at that time nearby, even if I didn't want to bother it was very painful so i went to the reception I called Litsa who helped my by providing me with some paracetamol and she sat with me there offering tea until I was better and went to sleep.
I had an excellent time and of course, I will be back in the future. The owner was, above all a human!

No frills place to stay for a night or two.

Great location, a few minutes from Paddington Station. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but good, clean and safe place to spend the night when visiting London. There was a mix-up with our reservation and we spent our first night in the \"penthouse\" (up 82 steps with suitcases!). The second night they moved us to a much nicer room. Bathrooms are tiny, but clean. Staff was very friendly. Check your email for instructions to check in, it's at a location around the corner, not at the hotel. But only a 3 min walk.

I needed a room for 1 night before my Heathrow flight and this hotel provided a very good affordable option. It's in a perfect location with a short walk to Hyde Park and to the Elizabeth Line (at Paddington station) which takes you straight to Heathrow Airport. Check in is actually around the corner at another little hotel but it was very easy and Litsa was great, she emailed me with check-in instructions and then offered me coffee and biscuits when I arrived. The room was very basic but the bathroom looked fairly new and while I only had a bunk bed the room was warm and I slept very well so I have no complaints. Just be aware there is no lift so I had to take my luggage up to the 3rd floor so this will obviously not appeal to everyone.

Excellent location, stayed at Beverley House Hotel

When we arrived at Atlas Studios, we were informed that there was an issue with our room but they have arranged for us to stay at Beverley House Hotel, which was about a block away. The location is excellent. The train and bus are only a few minutes walk away and we felt safe walking in the area late at night.

The following is for Beverley House Hotel - The room was very small, no room to really open our suitcases. We had a full or queen bed and a bunk bed. The space between top and bottom bunk beds are minimal, cannot sit straight up on the bottom bunk. Cleanliness was ok. Breakfast was basic but ok - toasts, egg, cereal, yogurt, coffee, orange juice. On the day of checkout, they were able to hold our luggage in the morning while we went to explore a little more.

We came little early before check-in(I wrote an email what we will be early). Our room was ready and we get in without any delay. Litsa are a hostess in this hostel. She make a tea with coockies for us :-) It was very helpfull after a long flight.
We took a room 8 for two peoples with one double bed.
What we have: affable hostess, keys from room and enterence door, FreeWiFi, shower and toilet in the room, table, stool, little wardrobe, two power socket(even with universal power adapter), hairdryer, five free towels, a lot of toilet paper, TV and FreeWiFi. Room was clean, warm and cozy. And we have even an balcony in this room and 4 pillows! Litsa say us about what we can meet nearby.
During a week when we meets with Lista she asks us \"It's all Ok? May be you need something else?\". And she offered us coffy and tea for us :-)
At morning we make an check-out and leave a luggage at a hostel till evening.

No staircase

This guesthouse/hostel is located near to the Paddington Station (~ 3 mins walk) and is convenient for those who needs to catch the Heathrow Express to the airport or to Kensington Palace, Natural History Museum, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly, Tower Bridge etc.
However, there is no staircase and you need to drag your luggage along the narrow stairs (~3 feet wide) all the way up to the 3rd/4th floor. We stayed for 3 nights in the double room, but the owner moved us to another guesthouse at the corner on our last night due to overbooking. We are pretty upset (but did not complaint to the owner) about it as we need to need to pack/unpack and again went up the narrow stairs up to the top floor with our luggages. During check out at the other guesthouse, we are asked to pay for the 1 night stay as there seems to be no communication between the guesthouse staff, but it was sorted out promptly.

I booked this hotel needing somewhere cheap and clean to sleep before flying back to Australia. The cheap bit was a success, clean? unfortunately not. The staff were lovely but I was a bit alarmed when the owner made me stand outside the room before entering so she could check the cleanliness. She was quite pleased that it was 'clean' but unfortunately it did need to be revacuumes and dirty cups in the sink don't mean clean to me. Cheap and easy place to stay but don't come looking for a place you'd want to walk around in bare feet. Lovely staff though.

Basic, Quiet, Great Location

Room for a couple is basic, cramped, not cute, no view, but safe, quiet, and comfortable. Great location close to Paddington for Circle Line underground and express train to/from Heathrow. Closer station is Lancaster Gate, across the street from huge Hyde Park, with bicycle-hire fleet and Central-Line underground direct to St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower area, connections to everywhere else. For first-time visitors, Hop-on-Hop-off bus stops a block away. Wonderful Victoria Pub is just a two block walk. Lots of snack shops around the corner. Beautiful little pocket-park across the quiet street. Owners are attentive, sensitive to guest needs, but this is owner-operated, not full-time desk staff. Entrance/registration not easy, as this is un-marked hostel, except for message at the doorbell, so remember the address and you will find it easily.

Location was brilliant close to Paddington Station Edgeware Road & Hyde Park all a stone throw away. The hotel was clean and even with the window open was away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with birds singing at 5am.

The staff were very friendly and approachable, Litsa and David were friendly and helpful.

The bathroom was cleaned twice daily and had bathroom cleaner also if our OCD like me you can know it's definitely clean.

Value for money as the location is so close to stations and shops.

Hostal in Paddington London

A bit noisy & smelly but bearable our hostal room ...We were not offered lockers for our valuables & with people coming in out of the room at night, there was always a risk of theft. We did ask for a locker but for some unknown reason we did get one.

Owner's are nice people. Hostal is in a good location with shops & tube station close by.

Home away from home

Located in a very quiet cul-de-sac one block from the Paddington Station, the hostel is also walking distance from Hyde Park. This is not a place if you want an anonymous hotel. This is a home away from home. We arrived 3 hours before check-in time (we called ahead to make sure it was OK) and were greeted by Litsa and her husband who offered us tea and candies/cookies for my 8 y.o. The room was clean. Very basic and a bit small but perfect for our needs. We even had a small balcony. We had access to a kitchen, again perfect to make some tea or prepare snacks before heading out. Litsa even invited us to share a traditional dish from Cyprus that she had cooked the day after Christmas! I really felt more like in a friend's house than in an hotel.

the reality of Atlas Hostel

The place is not so clean. I would recommend this hostel JUST if you are looking to travel on a budget and if you are willing to handle a NOT CLEAN TOILET. For me and my sister was good because of the price. But I don't recommend it if u r so \"picky\". The room is small and is shared with more people and mixed genders. Also if you choose to stay here take a lock with you because they don't provide lockers. Also is good to know that NOT ALL the people that stay in the hostel is staying for few days, there are some guests that live there for long term.

A clean, comfortable hostel

Much better than you normally expect for a ten-bed room. Cleaned almost obsessively, and although there were works going on it was all in very good order. Very welcoming and helpful.

Nice cheap place

The couple owning the place was really friendly and would help you with tips for places to eat etc.. the room itself was small but good for the price. Very clean even though they we're going through remodeling at my stay. If you need a place to sleep just for a night or two and you're not that fuzzy about it, it's a great place.

Highly recommended

The staffs were very friendly and helpful, even my roommates were pleasant to stay with. Everyone was really nice and we enjoyed our stay. This hostel is high recommended and you will get your money's worth. The rooms are a little small so avoid bringing big luggages. Overall, I had a pleasant stay.
