Abbey Court Hotel - London

7.8

Good hotel, very good location, price OK

4.9

Bathroom was awful,no larger than 2 meters...

7.6

Glourious breakfast!

6.6

When we checked in the staff were very helpful, however our room was like being in a caravan it was so small. We requested a change as we were staying for 7 nights but could not do so for two days. The first room was very noisy. The second room was much better and overlloked the park.My only complaint is about the noise but would definitely return as the location is excellent.

7.0

Below you may find my opinion on hotel, room and the service. My overall impression is positive and the price/quality ratio is adequate. 1) the hotel + close to the tube stations - looks better from outside than from inside 2) the room (no. 423) + was quiet (located on a 2nd floor on the left side of the building) + clean and warm (end of September) + equipped with an electric kettle and some British tea - very, very small 3) service - invoices are printed at 12 o'clock (if you are checking out earlier it is impossible to get one; solutions: check out and the invoice will be mailed to a given destination or take care about that at least one day before check out)

7.3

The location is very convenient but the room is relative small as a family room.

8.5

ideally situated for our visit-last night of the proms. Shame we received a parking fine as we checked in the pensioners,car park was under improvement and unavailable, car parking on site was the main reason for our booking this hotel.Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

3.6

Some employees were very unkindly. My room was very narrow (different from the pictures of the web-site) and the toilet was tiny.

1.9

It was WAY overpriced for what we got. I realise London is expensive but we stayed in Paris, Rome and Dublin for a lot cheaper and much better accomodation. Our room was located above a pub that was open until 12am+ and our windows didnt close properly so didnt get much sleep. This Hotel is close to the City but you dont need to stay right in the centre with the underground in London. I would never stay here again and dont recomend.

2.1

I was misled by the photos of the hotel exterior, foyer and breakfast room - which look quite acceptable - nice even. When we opened the door to the rabbit hole of a room we were very disappointed. The curtains were stained and tattered, the room very shabby and old charity style furniture. People were smoking in adjacent rooms which came under our door, although non smoking signs were everywhere and we were then threatened by the hotel with prosecution for smoking. The location was good because of Paddington station.

5.9

Rooms clean but a little shabby, in need of some renovations, overall not a bad 'value for money' hotel, would probably return. Breakfast could be a little more interesting with some 'fresh' fruit maybe.

6.8

tiny rooms but the hotel is in a good location near the tube and train station ; breakfast is very good to start the london adventure

7.6

bathroom too much poor. Remaing excellent above all the facility point to pick up all means of transport to centre of london.

5.9

Stayed there with our son for a couple of days in London - very good location, but rooms are small, the shower basin had a very ugly, makeshift sealing with some black tape, and our room was right above a busy pub, and was therefore very noisy till long after midnight. On the other hand, it was good value for money by London standards - the room was clean, the staff friendly and it included breakfast, although the breakfast room got very crowded at times. All in all, I might spend a couple of nights there again.

7.4

A 80 metri dalla fermata Tube di Paddington. Essenziali le stanze, al limite i servizi (ovviamente senza il bidè come da tradizione inglese), tutto comunque pulito. Poche alternative per la colazione, ma più che soddisfacente ed abbondante(concedono il bis). Ideale per il mordi e fuggi, e/o per chi si accontenta dell'essenziale e pulito.

7.5

L'hotel è in una buona posizione, a un giro di isolato dalla stazione della metropolitana di Paddington (Circle line), vicinissimo al parco di Kensington, in una zona ben servita di ristoranti, pub, e negozi aperti 24h/24, ma tutto sommato tranquilla. La stanza in cui ho soggiornato era molto piccola (ma più che sufficiente per una persona con capacità di adattamento) e pulita; ho molto apprezzato la possibilità di farmi té o caffé in camera, mentre non ho provato né la colazione continentale né quella inglese. L'unico problema dell'hotel (perlomeno per le mie esigenze) era l'isolamento acustico. Davanti alla mia stanza il pavimento scricchiolava, e si sentiva distintamente la televisione da una stanza all'altra. Poi non è certamente colpa dell'hotel l'inciviltà degli altri ospiti (televisione a massimo volume o corse a rotta di collo in corridoio oltre la mezzanotte). Esperienza tutto sommato positiva, ma per il prossimo soggiorno a Londra prima cercherò altrove.

5.7

Per dormire poche notti può andare bene, i confort di base ci son tutti. Serve un minimo di adattamento perchè le camere ed il bagno sono molto piccole e per niente acusticamente isolate, dalla finestra il panorama è inesistente con odori di cibo non gradevoli. Colazione bene un pò per tutti i gusti seguito da buon personale. Il quartiere è ottimo a pochi passi dalla stazione dell'underground, da vari ristoranti, pub, negozietti e l'ufficio postale.

7.6

I'm back to abbey court for second time, bayswater/paddington is a beatiful area, all the main actraction are quite near by feet and the underground is just behind the hotel, the room are a little bit small but for short stay they are ok....i'll be back.

7.4

The hotel lobby is very nice, but our rooms were super SMALL, but clean. They changed the bedlinen and towels every day. Although they had more spacious rooms too, when I requested them to change our room into a bigger one, they gave another room of the same size on the next floor. The staff was nice, but they don't care about the guests. Breakfast is said to be continental, but it was a great disappointment. It contained only 1 slice of ham, 1 of cheese, butter, jam and cornflakes every day. No fruits , no salads, no yoghurt, no eggs no....... It is nothing like in the pictures.

7.9

E' la seconda volta che alloggio qui, ci tornerò sicuramente ancora se mi capiterà d'andare a Londra.

8.1

En étant situés à côté de l'ascenseur, c'était très bruyant, surtout le matin. En revanche, aucun bruit ne venant de la rue. Les petits déjeuners sont globalement bons. La chambre était petite mais tout à fait acceptable : en revanche, le cabinet de toilettes était très petit, avec un lavabo qui était en fait un lave-mains idéal pour un enfant de 5 ans.

9.5

The hotel is located within a short walking distance from Paddington Station. This made it very easy for us to take the train in from the airport. Breakfast and internet were included. Would recommend and stay in this hotel again.

5.2

La posizione dell'albergo è strategica. Ridicolissimo il lavabo del bagno in camera (tipo camper) Appena sufficiente la prima colazione.

8.8

Cleanliness is my nr. 1 concern, and my room and bathroom were both impecable and pleasantly appointed. They were both very small, but that was not important since I was traveling alone and only needed the room to sleep and shower. The location is wonderful: lovely surroundings and only 2 blocks away from Paddington Station and from Hyde Park: I walked to Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Picadilly Circus, the National Gallery, Westminster Abbey; Kensington Palace is also close by. The London tour bus stopped only 2 blocks away, at the bus stop in front of the post office by Paddington Station, which also has a no-fee ATM and where you can take buses to practically anywere. The room's window gave onto a small inner courtyard in which I could sometimes hear voices from other rooms if I left the window open, but that didn't bother me. The only negative note was that my toilet did not flush and it took them 2 days to fix it. Otherwise, the staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was coffee and toast, with some cheese and ham, and marmalade -plenty for me.

8.6

A clean, well-run hotel convieniently located near Paddington station with a good selection of restaurants nearby. Rooms are on the small size but adequate. Breakfast is a bit meagre, but also adequate. Price is very reasonable. I have stayed here before and will again.

8.1

We were surprised at the size of the room and the overall quality of the hotel. Very convenient location and ideal base for exploring london. If you are travelling with kids paddington station is worth a visit because of its links to paddington bear and there is an excellent range of paddington related souvenirs.

6.4

The room was fine for a tourist class hotel. Room was small but clean. Shower was tiny. Room faced the street and there was a considerable amount of street noise. It was unusually warm for London when I was there and the room was very warm - no AC or cross ventilation.

7.7

As per other reviews, the rooms are not big! However, they are just about adequate. Main areas of concern were very poor quality of waitressing service in breakfast room, the length of time for cooked breakfast to arrive (20 minutes), and the quality of the cooked breakfast (greasy, certainly not worth the wait). The location of the hotel is good (<5 minutes from Paddington station), and overall its price represents reasonable value.

7.8

Hotels in London tend to be remarkably expensive. Compared to that this was a good and nice hotel. The location was very good between the Paddington railway station and Hyde park. Both the Paddington and the Lancaster Gate tube stations were very near. Rooms were claimed to be extremely small but we had no problems with that - our double room was big enough for us.

2.8

Chambre très moyenne au regard du prix. En plus, il était en travaux et nous avions une chambre qui donnait sur des murs de béton, donc pas de lumière et aucune vue évidemment.

8.8

Very nice and quiet surroundings. the room was very small, but it was enough to rest if you spent most of your stay visiting the city.

6.8

OK hotel. Very small rooms, but nice staff and convenient to city center. Parking was available though limited. Coy's from New Mexico, USA

6.5

Furnished in avery bad taste. Modest. Rooms very small and any conditioned air. Ammobiliato con vero cattivo gusto. Modesto. Camere piccolissime senza aria condizionata.

7.8

Easy to get to from Heathrow to Paddington via Express (15 min) & then 3 minute taxi ride. Paid £3 extra for English breakfast. Lots of coffee & toast and cornflakes. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

7.7

Good hotel.Good location. We stayed in a family room with our 2 teenage children. The room (407) was on the ground floor and VERY quiet! Big enough for the 4 of us (we spent our days outside of course). Only the bathroom was small but everything was very clean (and we are quite demanding). Breakfast was good too. You could ask for more bread, cheese, coffee. It seemed to us that most employees were young foreigners who were not very good at English but they did their job very well. Good hotel, expensive of course (110pounds a night) but London is London, isn't it?

6.3

extremely small bedroom super small bathroom! very narrow and meander corridors friendly staff very clean

4.7

I would never believe, that double room in hotel could be so small. Our room, Nr. 4 was in the underground, small as our bathroom in Prague. When I wanted to go in the bath room, my husband had to be in the bett - terrible. Bathroom is the smallest in the world I think. The original english breakfest was very poor, the continental brekfeast also. I want to visit London once again, but I will look for another hotel.

7.1

Abby Court is a good value for a place to stay while you are gone all day sight seeing. It is clean and adequate. If you take the train from Heathrow. Make sure you give the Connect a try instead of the Express. It is half the price with the only differences being a few stops, a 10 minute longer trip, and a more limited schedule.

7.9

It was the first time I stayed in London and in Abbey Court Hotel. The hotel is clean and beautiful. The rooms are too tiny but the relationship between price and quality is good. The Tube is 5 minutes from the hotel and near there is Hide Park, surroundings are beautiful.

7.6

Batroom too small !!!

7.6

Bat room too small!

7.6

bat room too small

8.5

Excellent location, the rooms were very clean and the heating was excellentas well, but they were very small. I would definately visit again.

3.7

The location and reception were very good, but the room was very small. We could listen the elevator and traffic in the street, during all night. We were really disappointed!!

4.2

Our room was so small.. We had to walk over the beds to reach the other side of the room... Location is good, close to underground.

8.0

Nice staying and good lacation!

5.1

Was asked to provide credit card copy (by fax) for confirmation of the booking and was told the cost for one night would be deducted but the cost for the whole stay wa charged at once, more than one month in advance. Asked for confirmation of reception of fax but none was sent.

8.1

We were in a family room(4), good size room,very quiet,excelent location,nice staff they speak spanish,they could change to more modern curtains and carpet and my room was underground.i will repeat. Excelente estancia,buen servicio,situado cerca de restaurantes,el bus turistico y metros,amable personal.Pedir habitacion con vistas pues yo estuve en semisotanoVoveré.

6.8

Rooms were extremely small, but after all comfortable.During the first 2 nights of my stay the fire alarm woke up us all...it was defective.Than they repaired it.

3.7

The single room was a "hole".

4.1

It's cheap it's central, it's OK - but there was a strange smell in the only available room.

8.4

Nice place, very friendly. Only Breakfast was nothing special!

6.9

El hotel me gustó. El personal muy atento y amable. La limpieza era buena. El único pero era el baño pequeño, pero no empaña lo acogedor del hotel. Volvería a contratar de nuevo este hotel, si fuese otra vez a Londres.

7.0

Small double room in the basement, very clean and quiet, at first a strange smell of talcum or so, but we opened the window. I was travelling with my son who is using a wheelchair - staff was very helpful and friendly with him. Location is perfect near Paddington station. Recommendable.

8.7

I stayed here for 2 weeks in September. The room was even tinier than I expected, but it was clean and serviced every day. The staff in the dining room were excellent. They were very friendly and accommodating. The continental breakfast was basic, but there was always plenty of food available. One of the best part of this hotel is its' location. It is just blocks from the train, the tube, and the bus. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and I would recommend it to anyone who asks.

8.3

Very cleam and good location. Only problem is small bath room.

7.2

There are many Brazilians working in the hotel. They were very friendly. It is very useful for Brazilian travelers. The breakfast was very poor.

5.5

As usual near Paddington hotels are quite expensive for it actually is. Breakfast was minimal.

6.4

Tutto sommato credo di poter valutare positivamente la mia permanenza in questo hotel. La locazione è senza dubbio centrale,a due passi dalla metro,ma veramente vicinissima,in una zona tranquilla e graziosa.Si raggiungono senza difficoltà i principali luoghi di attrazzione. L'hotel in se si è rivelato per come me lo aspettalo,pulito,accogliente,personale cortese,bagno miscroscopico senza finestra,niente aria condizionata,tv senza telecomando..ma a dire il vero sono tutte pecche che con facilità si possono superare. La colazione non particolarmente variegata,ma abbondante e sufficiente per saziarti...si poteva benissimo fare il bis. Quindi nel complesso mi sento di consigliarlo,per svariati motivi,ma in particolare per la sua vicinanza dalla metro e per la pulizia e il conford..e perchè londra è sempre e comunque bellissima!

1.2

Room are very small, it is very difficult to share it with another person. Consequently the price quoted is high compared to the room provided! Breakfast is inconsistent, and the service is poor.

8.7

I recommend this hotel: excellent service, excellent sorroundings, good rate quality/price.

7.5

The hotel lobby is very well done but the rooms could be updated. Small bathroom but overall it was a good place to stay, very close to Paddington Station and good access to the tube. Close to Regent and Hyde Park. Would stay here again. A little noisy when we were there do to construction next door. Statue of Peter Pan in Regent Park is about a 5 minute walk.

8.8

Very clean room and the hotel well located!

9.4

Very nice staff - great location for a stay in London. Room was clcean and comfortable. Skip the breakfast.

7.0

The hotel is nice, very clean, good staff. Space of rooms really small. The only thing is: there is not a signage of the Abbey Court Hotel in front of the building. There is another name: Westpoint Hotel in front. Also the number 174 in Sussex Garden does not exist, so real number is 176. Because of that we walk around the street (crowded of hotels) for more than 40 minutes until we could find it.

2.8

They have a lot of basement rooms. They are not warning you about that. It is not possible to have fresh air or sun. Very small bathroom, bath tube had insulation strips on the edges. I do not recommend this hotel for this amount of money even for sleep&go.

7.4

Overall not bad for the price. Staff was very pleasant and welcoming. Rooms are of course small and very slightly run down, but clean. The location was excellent, 2 blocks down from London Paddington Station. Lots of little cafes and restaurants right along the street. Only negative factor was the level of street noises heard in the room.

6.8

The Hotel location is very good, near the tube, the train and bus stops. The accomodation for the first night was at - 1 floor, near the kitchens and the breakfast room, it was very very hot and noisy, we asked to change the room and they gave a new room the day after. The staff was very kind. I reccomand this hotel if you go to London.

8.3

Clean, relatively newly refurbished, quite spacious by London-standards. Nice lobby, good cont breakfast, exellent service.

7.8

i have see cockroach in the breakfast room (only)

6.7

We stayed at Abbey Court on Easter 2007. Good public transportation facilities, near Paddington Station. Rooms clean but very small, toilet less than 3 square metters with no facilities at all. Continental breakfast is included but poor quality, just enough at all. Acceptable choice for short stays and less than 90 GBP. I will return to this hotel.

2.4

This is the perfect example of a misleading advert. The Hotel's reception lobby (definitely not all the public areas) has been refurbished nicely but the rest of the building is extremely poor quality, with minuscule rooms, narrow corridors, etc. Emergency signing not clear either. Lift (the only one we saw) takes ages. Breakfast very poor too. In summary, a wrong choice for any traveller -even considering how close it is to Paddington station.

9.1

Pleasant stay. If I had to point out something I didn't fully like was the shower which was a bit tiny, but everything else was as expected or better, thus I would recommend this hotel.

6.3

It's ok if you have to use the hotel just to sleep a have breakfast as I did caus' the room are very small. Execelent the position near tube and bus station and not far from a lot of intresting areas

7.1

I can recommend to avoid our room (no. 26), because we were disturbed by some noise coming from the people of the upstairs room. Probably other rooms are better from this point of view. This is just to explain my rate about the quitness.

6.1

Rooms are very small, but are very clean.

6.0

I was expecting small rooms, but I didn't know rooms could even be THIS small. There was a very samll double bed with about a half a meter on each side and a meter at the foot of the bed. The service was good though and the location was great.

8.8

Excellent location, a very short walk to Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Lots of restaurants in the area. Rooms are a bit small, but for the price it was fine for a short stay. The staff where friendly and helpful.We would certainly return there on our next visit to London

8.0

I was in London for the New Years Eve. The hotel is very well located, just 5 min walking distance to Padington Station. My room was very very small but I was visiting London, I didn't want to stay in the hotel!

7.8

Lobby is spacious but room is small, shower area is only about 28 inches x 28 inches. Only can fit a small to regular size person. Location is excellent, close to everything. Breakfast is only continental, not full English breakfast.

5.5

Le stanze sono capsule: è come soggiornare in una cabina dell'orient express (per dimensioni, non sicuramente per lusso). Il bagno è minuscolo ma ci si può fare una doccia, espletare funzioni fisiologiche e lavarsi i denti contemporaneamente... non male! Livello di pulizia buono. Colazione accettabile per chi non è abituato ad abbuffarsi al mattino: caffè, pane tostato con marmellate, succhi e yogurt. That's all. Ottima posizione per la metro (Paddington a 1 minuto a piedi) Complessivamente accettabile nel confronto prezzo qualità

8.2

The hotel is very close to Paddington station (and so well linked to everywhere) and it is placed in a quiete raod. The staff was polite and always available. Our room (double) was small but always clean and well heated as well as the bathroom (the bath towels were changed everyday!). The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Surely we will come back there.

8.1

The room was small (though ok for budget London hotel), still there was enough space for me and suitcase. Continental breakfast is included in price and it's quite good. Sound isolation is not particularly well: if you are not lucky with neighbours, then you'll hear everything, including snoring. The other problem was that lift was out of order and taking suitcase down the narrow steps was not convenient. Location is superb: very close to Paddington tube station, busses and there are a lot of restaurants near by. I will return to this hotel when I need a simple and clean place to stay with good links to Heathrow (though for two people it's cheaper to take a taxi to the airport then Heathrow express).

8.7

HOTEL IDEAL PARA UNA ESTANCIA CORTA,LAVABO MUY PEQUEÑO PERO TODO MUY LIMPIO,LOCALIZADO MUY BIEN AL LADO DE ESTACION: METRO/TREN PADDINGTON,SERVICIO DESAYUNO CONTINENTAL MUY BUENO.VOLVERIAMOS. AN IDEAL HOTEL TO STAY NOT A LOT OF TIME, BATHROOM VERY SMALL BUT EVERYTHING VERY CLEAN, A GOOD LOCALITATION NEXT TO THE UNDERGROUND AND TRAIN STATION (PADDINGTON).WE WOULD RETURN

7.3

hotel molto carino.bagno non enorme ma pulito.stanza carina e pulita.personale molto gentile.ottima posizione.a 2 minuti da 2 fermate della metro(paddington e lancaster gate). il prezzo (per essere a Londra) è molto buono. ci ritornerei.

9.5

Recomiendo este hotel.El personal es amable y te ayuda.Es un hotel bien situado a un paso del metro y bus.Las habitaciones limpias con un detalle estupendo,hay enchufes europeos.El cuarto de baño es un poco pequeño pero el agua caliente funciona bien.Realmente me ha sorprendido este hotel y sera nuestro hotel en Londres los viajes próximos. El desayuno continental es abundante. En resumen un hallazgo muy interesante

9.4

El personal fue muy amable, esta muy bien comunicado, habitaciones limpias pero con un baño un poco pequeño. Funciona bien la calefacción y agua caliente. Desayuno abundante con unas carpas enormes en un acuario de fondo He estado varias veces en Londres y este ha sido el mejor de los hoteles en que he estado.

6.5

The hotel is very well located (near from paddington station) The room are quite small but correct. The only problem is the noise because the room is not well soundproofed.

8.9

I really enjoyed my brief stay at the Abbey Court Hotel. My room was plain but comfortable with a bed and a small shower room. The public areas on the other hand are wildly camp with lashings of pink marble and faux Greek statues. I ate breakfast mesmerised by the fish in the wall length fish tank.

8.1

El hotel está bien situado tanto para moverte andando como en metro. Las habitaciones están bien, los baños son pequeños pero están limpios y están dentro de la habitación. Los empleados son muy agradables. Si volviéramos a Londres alguna vez repetiría el hotel.

9.9

We were very pleased with our stay. The online price was L10 cheaper than their listed rate. The continental breakfast was more than adequate. The room was larger than expected. The convenience to Paddington Station was just what we wanted. Lastly, all the staff we dealt with were MOST helpful, answering all our questions. For a fun evening meal or refreshment go to the Pride of Paddington Pub which was recommended by the staff.

7.7

Bon hôtel, à recommander pour un week end court : des prix convenables et un emplacement approprié à une visite de la ville (facilement accessible en transport).

2.4

La cosa che rende questo albergo davvero interessante è la location, ma non vale più di € 100 per la camera a notte. Per il resto l'hotel è scadente. La prima colazione è pessima e povera (c'è un extra da pagare per avere quella all'inglese). Le camere sono davvero piccole, ma il bagno ancora di più (si fa fatica a fare la doccia senza sbattere contro il muro). E poi su 4 notti di soggiorno non hanno mai cambiato le lezuola, quindi pulizia insufficiente.

6.0

Rooms are very small. We can hardly fit in the shower. But this is not complaint. Just facts.

7.3

salle de bains trop petite et vétuste

8.8

Staff was very helpful and competent. Room was very small as well as bathroom in room, and clean. However it was great for the few days there. Breakfast was good. Close to Paddington Station to catch trains to other sites. Located just around the corner from where the Original Bus Tour picks up. Resturants and shopping close by or just hop on a train.

7.4

Bathroom very small. Room big and nice. Breakfast basic. We were charged additional 100 GBP from our credit card due to authorization of the card before we arrived. Refund has been made with delay.

4.5

Ottima la locazione dell'hotel - vicina con la metropolitana e zona ricca di ristoranti di ogni tipo e negozi vari - pessima la colazione e la disponibilità delle cameriere - mentre molto gentili gli addetti al ricevimento - camere e bagno striminziti!

8.5

we enjoyed our stay very much. staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, even at 3am!location was fantastic, great pubs nearby, one actually next door. great atmosphere in the pride of paddington. we went down for the rugby league challenge cup final and the weekend turned out just great. have already booked ourselves rooms for the same weekend next year, august bank holiday. have seen some reviews where people said the rooms were too small and also the showers were tiny, but you are not in the rooms that long so it should not matter. as long as you have a nice clean bed and a nice hot shower when you need it( it was all the time) that is all that matters.our party of six included two women and like us they enjoyed their stay at the hotel. that is why we booked straight away to return there next year as well.

7.3

Location couldn't be better. On the Bakerloo, next door to Paddington for day trips out to Oxford etc. Would (and have) stayed there again.
