Last minute but fine
It was a last minute booking. It was fine. Breakfast was good and a sensible price. Hotel is a little tired but adequate and friendly. I'll consider it in future.

1 night is more than enough
Reception staff where very friendly, we arrived at our room after walking 3 flights of stairs (NO LIFT). The room was tired and very much in need of a revamp flooring all smashed up, holes. The bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed ive ever experienced, The bath room was basically a cupboard with a shower and toilet in it very very small no where to put your toiletries ect. We went out that evening and unfortunately i lost the room card key - we arrived back about 11.45pm to find the night watchman not having a clue how to get another card, he had to call another person and oh of course theres a £2 charge 🙂 (most hotels will give you one free.) The breakfast in the morning (continental) Was the saddest offer ive ever seen. The lady running the dining room was very plesent , the young lady cooking the waffles was the most miserable person ever. The best part of this trip was the hotel offered free (cant believe it was free) they look after your bags when you check out and you can collect later in the day. Location of hotle is fabulously close to Paddington. Would i stay here a again - no

Good short stay.
The Shakespeare was ideal for my one night stay in London, being conveniently close to Paddington Station. The staff were helpful and the room was clean with comfortable bed and good shower.

Great location and room, although small was clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated and there only appears to be a small staircase but not a problem for me. I would stay here again.

Reasonably priced but rather tiny
The room was very clean & tidy although very small. The bathroom had a 'damp' smell that was quite overpowering if the door was left open. We had a room on the third flood which meant 62 steps to our floor. Reasonably priced for our 1 night stay and excellently placed for the train station.

Closet for a room
Staff was friendly but a “deluxe twin” was literally like a closet with a tiny bathroom attached. We tried to stay out of the room as much as possible because it was so tiny. Breakfast wasn’t bad though

2/10 Poor

This is a Dirty and old Hostel, not a Hotel, I just slept 1 night, for the other nights I had to make a reservation in other hotel and spend more money. The pictures that show the hostel seems that the hostel is in good shape, but the reality is totally different.
