“Skip it.”

Room was extra small and in the basement with a tiny window at street level which I could barely reach by standing on the bed. Every 30 seconds or so an underground train rumbled by my head. There was no refrigerator in the room. Staff had three opportunities to inform me that breakfast was not included, yet they did not. Written info in room was inconclusive. Bathroom & sheets were clean.

“Good for the price and location”

Overall, the Brunel was very clean and pleasant. The staff was friendly, the room was decorated simply but nicely, and the price of the room was very agreeable, especially considering how close the hotel is to Hyde Park and to Paddington Station. The hotel seemed to be on the tail-end of some renovations (our room's bathroom didn't have a lock, and it looked like they might be painting a different area of the hotel), but we didn't mind it. Given the low price of the rooms, you should know that the price only covers the basics. Breakfast and internet use are an extra charge but not too expensive, and you can always opt to eat somewhere else or use one of the internet cafes nearby. I would definitely stay there again.

“I would have no problem using this hotel again.”

The Brunel was fine for what I needed, which was a clean place to take a shower and sleep. There is no lux. however and the room was very small, but for a place to shower and sleep it served very well.

Traveler's tip
Close to Underground and Hyde Park and area is quiet.

“Shoebox sized room- unhelpful staff”

I stayed at the Brunel house for luckily only one night. When I arrived there were other people asking for their money back... that should have been a warning sign. The room smelled like sewage and there was only about 1 foot of walking space around the bed on two sides. There wasn't even enough space to pull the chair away from the desk. Internet didn't work in the rooms. Location is decent, but not worth the money.
