Selsdon and Ballards Vacations from $699

This property is close to Paddington Station and is how we arrived in London. We arrived early and the staff was willing to hold our luggage for us. Incidentally, Expedia says to call ahead or contact the property. There’s no need for that. The property is prepared for you as long as you book through Expedia. The room was small, directly above the ground floor pub. A couple of nights were noisy for a while, but the pub closes at midnight so it wasn’t really an issue. Our room was small but clean. The restroom was really small but adequate. I couldn’t figure out the thermostat and couldn’t cool the room enough even though it is air conditioned. The bathroom got pretty warm because of poor ventilation. That was the biggest negative. The breakfast provided was what I would classify as light with the only warm option as toast, tea, and coffee. Still, it was fine and it was enough to start the day. The staff was always pleasant and welcoming. There is a bus stop near the hotel. It was convenient and we used that method of transportation often. The Edgeware Street Station is about an 8-minute walk down the road and we used that tube stop quite a bit. The neighborhood is a near a working-class commercial area and safe enough for us—we experienced no issues. This was a good value. It’s not fancy or big but I’d go there again. Not with kids, though. Just me and my wife.

I can not say enough good things about this hotel. From the attentiveness of the staff to the location, everything is always amazing. The Cadogan will always be our home away from home in London!

Spotless courteous staff

The second time I've stayed at this hotel. Rooms are clean and tidy, and only a short walk from Warwick Avenue Underground station and Little Venice. Behind the hotel is a bar/off-licence called 'Real Drinks', lots of different beverages you can drink in or take away, and a superb pub called 'The Prince Alfred'.

The fold out bed was poor as the springs dug into your back. The bathroom was mouldy . I feel that the rooms need some renovations and some thought to go into the bedding situation as not comfortable at all. The area was noisy for the 3 nights we were there as the young people living next door down below were on drugs and screaming all night. Make sure to avoid lower rooms. The only good thing really was the lovely lady who checked us in , she works very hard and was there our entire stay - kind, helpful and made our stay all the better for considering how unhappy we were with the accommodation. We didn’t bother complaining because there wouldn’t have been anything she could do as fully booked.
