Great location to Paddington station. The whole area was nice.
If you travel when it's warm there is no ac. Be aware of that. They supply a fan and you can open windows but if you are sensitive to high temps be mindful.

We were excited for some old London charm but were met with a very dated, hot, uncomfortable experience. The rooms are TINY, as in you can’t sit on your bed and have room to walk to the bathroom. The bathroom was also so small you could barely shut the door. The floors are so wonky it’s almost a tripping hazard. And if the temps are warm you’re in trouble because there is no AC, the windows don’t open for ventilation and the tiny, loud fan they offer in the room does very little to cool you down. The front reception are friendly and the location is spot on, but we still checked out after one night for cleaner, more kept accommodations with AC.

The location is perfect for commuting around london and outside of london. Several underground stations within 5 min walk. Breakfast was great and staff was amazing. My only complaints are some updates that would help make the stay more accomodating- iron boards, fridge. Restaurants around the hotel are fabulous too!

Staff are a credit as is Breakfast. Room was awful. Family room - 3 single beds with a little gap between in a small room. Bathroom is dated with old chipped toilet seat, curtains with tears/ holes hung across a small window with elastic cable.
Shower with fixed head low pressure. Sign advising to turn fully the on/off for best results.
Paid £200 per night for 2 nights. Awful. Supposed to be a celebration of my daughter’s Graduation.
Outside is very good. Hallway good! Placed on 4th floor - lift is very slow.
Would definitely not stay here again. Would’ve moved hotels if I’d had the time!
Parking - was told plenty of spaces - There’s only a few! And their policy is to take your car keys!

Mitre House was a lovely little spot for our stay in London. Easy to walk to the train station and Hyde Park, super cute little neighborhood with lots of restaurants and coffee shops, very friendly and helpful staff.
It was also nice to be able to get breakfast on site.
Our only small thing to note was that the walls were pretty thin so we could hear other people’s phones buzzing and lots of doors opening and closing out in the hallway through the night. But for the price and the everything else being great we would definitely recommend to other travelers.

We had a great experience at this hotel. The English breakfast was better than expected, and the service was quick and friendly. It's an older building, so of course rooms are a little small, but totally adequate. It was nice that each room has a small oscillating fan, which we used each night. We stayed in a family room and didn't realize that it would essentially be two rooms somewhat joined. It might be tricky with very small children. You'd want to maybe prop the doors open between the two rooms. It was perfect for us, as we were traveling with our adult son. The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful, and the location couldn't be any better. You're just steps away from a variety of restaurants and such a short walk to Paddington Station.

Stayed at this hotel post transatlantic cruise from NYC. Here is my experience:
1. Hotel is in a central location - Paddington train station is a short walk and getting to London Heathrow is a breeze. Kensington park and the various museums nearby (e.g. Serpentine Gallery) is about a 10-15 minute walk.
2. Rooms are not huge but it is comfortable enough for 2 people, sleeping in 2 separate beds. I was confused with the bathroom shampoo and soap - both were labelled \"shampoo\"?. Luckily, the weather was NOT too hot so the small fan provided was enough to keep the air flowing. Also, our room has 2 big windows on each side so the air flow is good. Not sure why there is no bath mat in the bathroom so we used one of the towels as bath mat. There is no glass either for brushing teeth.
3. There is a lack of outlets to plug laptops or telephones. We were able to borrow one converter so we have to take turn using it.
4. Because of its location, there is plenty of places to eat and buy food. Outside the train station is a big Sainsbury if you want to watch your budget and not pay 5 GBP for soda that you can buy for 2 GBP.
5. My flight was cancelled due to the storm/flooding in NYC and then Trump's attack on Iran (war he won 1 million x over). I stayed for another night and moved to a single room. Room #408 was excellent for me - spacious and well laid out. I will request this same room next time.
6. Reception was very accommodating and there is one lady who was very kind

The Mitre House was a great stay after a long trip, the rooms were nice and cozy and the beds more than comfortable. I wanted to try good local pubs, and find useful amenities around Paddington and they gave me terrific and helpful tips! Being centrally located in Paddington as well, traveling to Heathrow was a breeze with just a short walk behind the hotel.
The complimentary breakfasts were more than filling too, the full English was enough to keep me going on a full day trip to Liverpool! Of all the places to rest in London, I would be more than happy to go back to the Mitre House again.

This is an older hotel in a perfect location for access to the tube and very close to Hyde Park. Many restaurants very close by. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We stayed in a suite so our room was a good size with a small sitting room and separated bedroom. The bathroom had a tub and shower. The queen bed was comfortable. There is no AC but there is a fan to help cool the room. The place itself could use a refreshment (bedding, drapes, carpet) but overall good value as this is an expensive part of the city. The breakfast was plentiful and good. Breakfast staff were lovely.

A lovely welcome, spotless and well thought out accommodation (including a fan in the room which was very much appreciated). Staff were so kind and helpful, even allowing us to leave our car after checkout until we had attended an appointment.
If there was one improvement I would make, it would be to include a sausage and maybe an extra slice of bacon in the full English breakfast, for which we would happily have paid more. A recent stay in a much more expensive hotel was nowhere near as nice as this. Thank you all

This is a very nice hotel in a great spot so close to Paddington Station. It was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. The rooms were clean. The staff very helpful and nice. Great breakfast. As most European hotels there is no AC and we were there during a heat wave. The rooms all have a portable fan which helps and opening the windows. We had a nice breeze during the night. My husband unfortunately cannot be in the heat and had to move hotels but my daughter and I stayed and had no issues. We both really liked how charming the hotel is and all the restaurants and wonderful coffee shops two minutes away. Highly recommend

Staff was very kind and hospitable, breakfast offered a full English meal. There is a small bar where we were able to catch some World Cup games in.
The rooms are very small , and the water pressure in my room (3rd floor) was not good, though others in my traveling group had no issues on the 1st floor.
Location is very convenient to many restaurants and the paddington station. At night I took strolls around the neighborhood and felt safe.

The staff on reception were pleasant but that's where the enjoyment ended. The lift was very slow and the room was awfully small and didn't feel clean. The beds had blankets and a bedspread instead of a modern quilt. I asked for a walk in shower but the bathroom was again small and not very clean. We stayed for about 30min and left after booking another hotel. I wouldn't give this hotel 1* let alone a 3* as its advertised. Would definitely not recommend

You need to remember, this is an old hotel that looks like remodel was done in the 1960’s! Paint chipping, squeaky floors and very slow elevator, but at least there was an elevator! Our room was clean, but very tiny! There was no Air Conditioning, but a fan was provided. If you will be here in the summer, during a heat wave, ask for a room on the front side of hotel so you won’t have the HOT afternoon sun! Our room never cooled down till early morning with window open & fan!
Breakfast was nice…small menu to order from, not a buffet. Service was fast and food hot!
Just a 5 minute walk from Paddington Station; not far from Hyde Park.

Attending a concert at Hyde park so in the perfect location for this.
Rooms are very tired, small and extremely hot ( it was 27 degrees outside ) we were supplied a fan which was helpful, but couldn’t have the windows open as it’s quite noisy. So not a great sleep.
We had booked two rooms with what is described as a shared bathroom between our rooms. Which it was, however the other room occupants had to come through our room to get to it, or we could have left the other door open to the bathroom but this would have given access to it to other guests. Very strange setup.
We didn’t realise that breakfast finished at 0900 ( it did say in the paperwork so our own fault ) however I’ve never been to a hotel that has breakfast from 0700 to 0900 on a weekend. We didn’t get in until late so this is quite an early start.

Great location for Hyde park but that’s where it stops for us. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again.

First, the property was basically old and in need of being refurbished! The room was extremely small! It was difficult walking around the bed. There was no air-conditioning so we used a fan to blow around hot air. The bathroom was pretty disgraceful. When you walk in, you open the door right onto the sink which is extremely old. The bathtub is a very old old bathtub that you have to lift your leg and climb into. It is not good for someone that has had foot or leg surgery.

We left something at the previous hotel and I asked the woman with the gray hair to please call that hotel to see if they had it. She said we cannot make local calls. We are from the United States and our cell phones could not make those calls. Finally, I was able to get her to make the phone call for us. What happened to Customer Service?

What I returned to that hotel? Absolutely not. There was nothing comfortable about that place. Although, the location was not that bad.

My daughter and I were in town to see a concert. We stayed for 6 night but unfortunately during a heat wave. Our room was very small with only a small fan so that part wasn’t very comfortable but that’s not the hotels fault. The beds were comfortable and cleaning was excellent. The hotel was dated but charming and that’s what we were going for. The best thing about it was the location. I’d stay in Paddington again due to its proximity to the trains and local amenities. The hotel offered a hot breakfast which was limited but good. There was also a bar in the lobby. Overall it was a good stay and the staff were lovely.

This hotel has a great location - it is whitin walking distance of Paddington train station. It is a very old hotel. No air conditioning - no fans provided. The breakfast is not recommended, we had to eat elsewhere. The rooms were dusty. We were assigned a room in the basement with a bathroom that stayed wet and musty. The staff however was very friendly and super courteous and welcoming. This place needs a total renovation.

The Hotel location is fantastic, for us at an event at Hyde Park. Underground nearby also. The staff were very helpful and polite. The room itself was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was very basic but nice enough. The only negative is that the hotel looks like it has not been decorated for a few decades. It gives pff very 1980s seaside vibes. Overall a decent stay in a great location for Hyde Park. A good 3* hotel. With some upgraded modern decor it could be a 4* hotel.

Hotel in a great location near Paddington Tube station with friendly front desk staff and a good breakfast, but it is in need of updates. Our initial room for 3 people was small; no place but beds to open suitcases. Looking at the posted fire escape plan, appeared to be one of the smallest on the floor. Carpets were old, drapes were dusty, you could see dust flying off when they moved. My daughter and I have bad dust allergies; symptoms (itchy eyes, sore throat, poor sleep,...) started immediately and only cleared when we left the building.
The front desk had cobwebs cleaned off the ceiling, they did provide freshly laundered blankets at my request, but couldn't address the drapes. We were moved to a slightly larger room on day 3, but it had the same tired carpet, and the toilet didn't flush properly (though they did repair it). The hotel has no AC, and while windows originally only opened 8 inches due to limiters, staff entirely removed them during a heatwave.
Due to severe allergic discomfort, requested early checkout and refund for our remaining prepaid days - hotel refused. Management was unavailable and never returned Hotels.com's calls. Buyer beware.
We just spent a week in an older Paris hotel, so we understand European room sizes, but this room was extremely disappointing for an 8-day stay booked several months in advance and 1st time in London. A check of the local area found better options nearby. This hotel not recommended particularly if you have allergies.

Very dated hotel with incredibly small room. Unfortunately we arrived during a very warm spell of weather but in a hotel with no air con just made it unbearable. When we got into our room it actually felt like the heating was on. There is a fan in the room but that just blew the roasting hot air around. Breakfast was only served between 7-9am so a lie in out of the question. We weren’t impressed with the food either but it was fine. When I was booking this it said it was 3.5 star online but it only has 2 star on the door, but I’m not even sure it’s worth that either. Good luck to anyone booking this place. I just know we won’t be back.

Let’s start with the good things. The location of the property is amazing, it’s a very safe neighborhood and close to the underground station making it easy to go anywhere. Breakfast is included but there’s not a lot of options and you have 2 hours to have it, so if you are planning to wake up late this place is definitely not for you. But the staff from breakfast is very helpful and friendly, I would say they are the highlight of the property.
Unfortunately my experience with the cleanliness was very poor. My room had so much dust that it was hard to breathe. So if you have any allergies like me, I would not recommend this place to you. I understand that it’s an old city, buildings are old, but this is not an excuse for the inside rooms being like that.
I really needed to share this experience because I regretted so badly choosing this place that I was looking new hotels to stay in the area.
