  Don't stay here during a heatwave whatever you do!

  I don't want to be too harsh in reviewing this hotel despite several lousy nights sleep due to faulty air-conditioning because for 98% of the year it would hardly have mattered, but sadly, for me, it was a scorchingly hot week in June. I was doubly unlucky it would seem as friends with rooms on the first floor had no such issues, it seems that in this hotel like no other, heat rises. My room was 402 and it was hotter than the sun. Moving on from this focussed perspective, the hotel is actually not bad at all. Breakfast was very nice, it's located on a quiet road a stone's throw from a great part of Paddington with bars and eateries aplenty. Reception was a bit chaotic what with all the irate 4th floor guests trying to change rooms, but they dealt with it all cheerfully enough it seemed to me. The rooms, aside from being furnace-like, were clean and well appointed with everything you might expect from a modern hotel room except for room to move around, which was sadly lacking, indeed a short walk around the bed from the window to the bathroom involves a couple of crablike sidling manoeuvres to execute fluently, and my morning press-ups were out of the question. I think on the whole it's average, but if you got lucky with a bigger room with a functioning air-con you'd probably have a great stay here.
