If you want a place to sleep that's clean and a good value, this is a good choice. Two blocks from Paddington and two blocks fron Lancaster Gate Central Line stop, on a nice street. A no-frills place with no lobby or any other amenities, but very comfortable beds.

Room small no table/chair and no lift in hotel but this is typical of small hotels in Sussex Gardens and more than adequate for a one or two night stay. Good value for money. Comfortable bed. The hotel will allow you to store luggage after check out for the rest of the day which is really helpful for a further days activity before leaving London. Lots of pubs bars and restaurants nearby and very handy for transport links.

We enjoyed our stay at Aaraya Hotel. It was just a short walk from Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Rooms were cute and clean. They were in the middle of renovating the rooms so they had to switch us out of our room that fit our family of 5 part way through our stay, but they gave us two rooms beside each other for no extra cost. They have No eating area at the hotel so you have to plan to eat out. One gem that we found just a couple blocks away was The Stable Hand. Excellent food and service.

This hotel is on a lovely street, very London-tree lined with gorgeous houses most of which are hotels. We paid for parking across the road for the two days across the road which was very convenient. Its close to Paddington station and restaurants and bars. The room was clean, the staff on reception were very helpful. The breakfast is a bag that you take away which had juice, fruit, yogurt, cereal bar and croissant. Would stay here again

They gave me a bag of food as breakfast, but its quality was very low and it shouldn't be called breakfast. I got really disappointed and this hotel is overpriced. The location is very good.

Very average hotel in the Paddington area, but most of them are to be fair. If you’re looking for a decent enough budget place then this place is fine. No elevator, no AC, no iron-ironing board. But the room was quiet enough.

Well located for Paddington train station and the underground. There is no lift in this multi-floor hotel. The only other small issues relate to a dirty tea cup and no teaspoons in the room although reception did sort out the issue when informed.

Stayed for 2 nights single room. I had a double bed in the basement, parts of the wall had been plastered but not painted which wasn't a problem. Room was spacious, I think I was lucky getting this room and can't comment on a single bedroom. I would stay there again but don't think I would be so lucky with the room.

standard small downtown London hotel. No lift. Breakfast was still bagged because of covid. Helpful desk clerks.

The location is excellent. The breakfast was jut a bag of fruits, juice and so on, and the quality was extremely low. It shouldn't be called a breakfast. It is overpriced for this service.

The hotel is very very worn, and lacks traditional amenities such as additional pillows if needed. The staff is lovely, being close to Paddington and Hyde park is great. They provided a bagged breakfast with fruit, granola bars, yogurt and a croissant. It served it's purpose, adjust your expectations.

My chief complaint is that the website needs to be updated. We booked this hotel specifically because it offered breakfast, as shown in the website photo gallery. They do not serve breakfast! The website also shows a different hotel name and decor. Please update. This is extremely misleading. Otherwise, it was a pleasant, affordable place to stay. Quiet street. Close to bars, restaurants and all transportation. Staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean.
