Stüdyo Paddington by Bridgestreet

This is a perfect hotel for business travel and/or one night lay over etc. as it is literally around the corner from Paddington. Great eats close by, too. My room was very small but that's exactly what I expected and the descriptions are accurate - I was very comfortable and the front of house went out of their way to accommodate me with an earlier check-in.

Great location as it's just 4-5 minute walk from the Paddington Station so if you're taking Heathrow Express, it'll make it easy to travel to/from Heathrow. There are also plenty of restaurants, pubs, stores, etc. near by. The only fault I'd find is the lack of available outlets in my room. Had to unplug a desk lamp so that I can charge my laptop.

Great value for price and location. Manager was very helpful. Common area well stocked and clean. The bed sagged and there seemed to be something broken underneath that sounded like a loose board hitting the wall. The blanket was too small for the bed; it covered the bed but not 2 people. Fortunately the heated towel rack kept the room very warm.. The fire door hinge was very loud when it closed and it was impossible to go in or out quietly. It is still a great value and we would stay there again.

Lugging a bag up two floors wasn’t fun Clean and basic- was fine for a short stay

Not for the elderly because of very steep steps and no lift
