Pavilion Hotel 34-36 Sussex Gardens, London W2 1UL

"£140 for a one night stay in a small, dark, smelly room with an awful, damp mattress, no amenities apart from a bar of soap, a sink in the room but not in the bathroom. Blankets smelled like they're not washed, bathroom wall had stains. Friendly receptionist but refused to accept contactless pay and wanted me to enter chip and pin, which I did but do feel uncomfortable about. Can't leave the hotel with room key, and need to ring to enter the building at night which is odd. Convenient location but you can find a LOT better for that price."

"The room had quirky deco, although it was tiny with a small double bed. The taps barely gave much water which did mean that using the bath or shower was almost impossible. The staff were very friendly though and the hotel in general was quite quiet."

"Lets say this is probably one of the more interesting rooms I've stayed in. Staff were friendly, the place was clean. It's not a premier Inn.... shower room was functional, we were in the attic which was a tad warm in the summer. No bar, no breakfast but plenty of that to choose from on the doorstep. Great location for Paddington and the tube. I'd recommend it. I need to go back, even if only to experience one of the other rooms on offer..."

"Outstanding hospitality shown by the host, Harry. Well done for dealing with all those customers coming at you together! The hotel is quirky and full of character. A delightful alternative to boring magnolia chain hotels. I loved the room and the nice art touches were incredible. We would come back for another stay. Easy to find and a short walk from Paddington station. Good value and safe feeling. However, stairs are very steep so no good for anyone with mobility issues if located on the top floor."

"Very good price for the quality and location! Room is as you need it, quite clean and very tidy. The location of the hotel is excellent. You won't be able to find another hotel in such close proximity to central London that is as decent as this and so affordable. Breakfast is included which is really nice. I can't believe some people complained about a complimentary breakfast! Some pastries, cereal bars, orange juice etc. Owner is a very nice and friendly chap. Great stay!"
