Room looks more like a private hostel room. Several of d lights not working. Front desk was not rude but not helpful. Door was locked when we came n no one came to door when we buzzed. We had to go out n ask ppl smoking in d alley who later turned out to be staff n just told us to go around d corner ! This was in the rain! Not very helpful to tourists esp those not from Europe. The area though is nice . Very close to Paddington station, Hyde Park n kensington palace and gardens. Short train rides to all d tourist spots: Trafalgar Square, Buckingham palace, Big Ben , etc
