Caring Hotel - London

I thinks this place is nice and with righ proces. I didn't like at hall to sleep in a room (room number 1) at the basemet floor.

We booked one double bed room with shared bathroom but the bed is very small. It's surely not the standard size for two persons. It's just one single bed and they just put two pillows on it. The breakfast is just enough but it would be better if they provide a better quality of food such as bread?? not re-toasted bread! I wouldn't give this hotel for 3 star hotel.

Our stay at Caring hotel was okay. The location is ideal, with access to 4 tube stations and a nice area close by Hyde Park. The rooms were a bit too small for two people to move and the curtains need some washing and fixing. Other than that, the hotel was very clean, staff very friendly and breakfast simple but okay.

We had a nice stay but the bathroom was too small, there was no shampoo nor bubblebath. Apart from that, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was good and there a good choice of food.

Good hotel for the price. I didn't expect the hotel to be particularly good, so it exceeded my expectations

the only problem was that you/they have not changed the towels for every 3 past day in the hotel.The bath in common to the plan it is too much small indeed

They provide everything they say.Rooms clean,private bathroom(complete),wifi OK,but the staff is more than excelent.They do everything to make your stay pleasant.All of them,specially the lady on duty in the morning of Sep.23.She is incredible.

The staff is great and the place is beautiful. The room was clean and everybody was taking care of us. This was the second time i been there and i'll come back if i have to. :)

Second time in this nice hotel. Excellent relationship between price and quality, excellent location and very good breakfast. I'll definately will recommend it to my friends. Alice and Chiara

Excellent location - walkable form Paddington and v. near Hyde Park/Kensington Gdns in a safe, elegant and leafy environment. The hotel is a great base for Central London and would normally be excellent value - we stayed during the Olympics and so the prices were not surprisingly raised quite a bit. Under normal circumstances the hotel is good value. No lift to upper floors so need to be reasonably fit if booked into an upper floor room. Even though WiFi is advertised only for public areas we got good reception in our room and it was free.

We had 3 sleepless nights, because there was party and loud music in the house near the hotel. Please stay not in this hotel, if you will sleep. They told us, they would pay us money back to our creditcard, we never hear anything from caring hotel. NEVER AGAIN

Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location. No lift, so if mobility is an issue, be sure to get a room on a lower floor.

For a 2 stars hotel and in London it is excellent. I had a nice stay and if I go back to London again I will go there.

I spent 2 nights in this hotel, it was perfect, very clean. Nice staff, helpfull.It's close to numbers of little and good restaurants, tube stations, bus stops to the west end, Paddington Station. No lift in the hotel, could be a problem for some people. Nice breakfast.Wifi works till the forth floor !

Reasonable hotel. Large room with bathroom tight. The stairs are horrible to carry the luggage. The breakfast is simple.

I stayed here with my husband and my mom for 2 nights. The hotel was very close to both the Queensway and the Bayswater tube stations and was in a safe neighborhood. It was also a block away from one of the hop on/hop off bus stops. The room we had was for 3 people with a single and a double bed. The room was spacious with a small table and chairs. The only negative issue we had was with the bedspread. The blanket was not clean at all. There was hair all over it. But we just took them off and threw them on the floor and slept in the clean sheets instead. When the maid came the next day she took the blankets from the room but did not bring us new ones.

Suitable for one night at the end of a business trip or if you are passing through, clean and simple without any frills.

very clean, very convenient position (close to Queensway and Bayswater underground station and also to a bus stop leading directly to Victoria St. and Westminster Area), very nice and supportive staff, nice breakfast :). I recommend it!

We had a super week in london with Caring Hotel as our base, nice simple breakfats. They could supply us with all the information we needed and staff was very kind to let us stay on groundfloor because we had a baby with us. Bathroom on room was nice and perfect to have a bathtub.

Small room, barely enough room for luggage, 2 and1/2 flights of stairs - no elevator. noise from people using stairs and TV in adjacent room. Adequate buffet continental breakfast (down another flight of stairs). Convenient for Queensway underground station and for Paddington rail station,and close to an entrance into Kensington Gardens.Free wifi.Would best suit short stay for fit single traveller with minimum luggage

Wifi free and performant. Very good surroundings

You could feel almost at home at this hospitable B&B hotel. Really great value for money almost in the centre of London! Me and my sister in law stayed there 5 nights and both were very satisfied. After all hassle in the city, it was wonderful to come to the quiet, warm enough and decent hotel in the evenings. There is nothing luxurious, but that we did not expected. The hotel is situated in a very quiet street, no traffic, no people. The service what we got was also excellent. E.g. my friend hurt her knee when falling down on the street, the staff arranged everything for her: the doctor, taxis, they brought even ice into the room for her knee. The breakfast was also very good; there where everything what we wanted: coffee, tea, 4 different juices incl. tomato juice, boiled eggs, bread, toast, cheese, 2 different fruit salad, muesli. The room was cleaned every day, and there were always clean towels. Bayswater is very nice and sophisticated area with lot of beautiful houses and hotels. You could also find lot of restaurants, pubs, shops, supermarkets (e.g. Tesco express opposite of B. tube station, open until midnight) etc. just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Whiteleys shopping centre and Boots are also within 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Notting Hill is also quite near, you can walk there easily. We found out that Bayswater is the best and nearest tube station, so we recommend to use this station. Bayswater and the hotel area are also very secure. Couple of times I walked alone from the tube station to the hotel quite late in the evening and I was not scared at all. Also I visited alone some pubs (my friend could not come because of her knee) in the neighborhood and no problem :) All the people everywhere in London are very friendly and helpful. I really would recommend this hotel for everyone who likes to stay at small and comfortable hotels with reasonable price in London.

Very nicee and efficient staff, super clean, very nice continental breakfast (spoiled for choice)Twin room was very tiny, no lobby or public area other than breakfst area. The room was extremely hot despite the heating being completely off. Had to sleep with the window open, in February. No elevator. Convenient location. All the basics were there, but I felt it was a bit skimpy for almost $100/night.

The hotel is a perfect stay for a London trip, staff is lovely - only the breakfast was a bit poor.

Three nights at Caring hotel, great location, great price, great standard. We be back, Thanks

I think the hotel is a good choice if you are looking for something near the city centre at a reasonable price. The rooms are okay in terms of spaciousness and quite newly done up but what's really small are the bathrooms. And unfortunately ours was not totally clean when we arrived, either. Breakfast is continental only with a rather limited choice. But the staff are nice. The hotel is located in a privileged part of London and access to the city centre is easy by subway. So I still think it's good value for money.

Hotel is excellent value for money and convenient for Paddington station and transport to the centre of London

Nice staff and very helpful! Had some minor problems with the central heating and they offered us another bigger room without any problems! I really recommend it!

Excellent value for money. Will use the same hotel next time in London

Pros: A nice, clean hotel in a quiet area. Spacious room, friendly staff, acceptable breakfast, near (but not very) to tube stations. Cons: No free WiFi, no free luggage storage, no hairdryer in the room. Not all rooms are with a private bathroom.

Toilet too small, noise room,no possibility to open the window wide, lack of hairdrier and bath soap in bathroom. Poor Breakfast.

Excellent value for money and convenient for Paddington (about ten minute walk to station). Lack of lift might be a problem for some but not for us. We travel to London frequently and have never previously found a sub-4 star hotel we actually enjoyed staying in.

Excellent price for the location.

Nice hotel in a nice area. A good ten minute walk from Paddington Station.On arrival at the station with all our luggage we asked a cabbie to take us there but he refused and said it was not far.So if your at Paddington Station and you get fobbed off just demand to be taken and save the hike with your luggage. Room is very small but OK for the price.After all this is London.Staff very courteous and efficient.There is no lift or porters so If you are elderly and not very mobile this hotel is not for you. Breakfast is adequate served in a nice well furnished room by nice ladies.All in all a nice base to see London.

The noise whenever someone in the hotel had a shower or tapped water was annoying. Missed real reading lamps at the beds. Switches for the light were at the door.. The bathroom was very small, but ok. Personnell very kind and good service.

Have stayed here several times in past in very good location to public transport and eating places. Rooms quite small but clean, staff helpfull only negative this time was dirty stained blanket on bed which was changed as soon as we dicussed with front desk staff.Would stay here again in the future.

great hotel in a great position. We were really satisfied with this: the hotel is little but has a lot of comforts and is silent. Our room was nice and big, the staff was friendly and helping. The breakfast was rich as well.

Great hotel, very confortable, clean and tidy. The location couldn't be better, near underground station and several restaurants. The breakfast was very good too. The only real flaw about the hotel is that it has no lifter. As I have a muscular weakness in my leg it became a real problem, which was conpensated by the kindness of the hotel staff. She helped me taking up the heavy luggage.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Caring Hotel. We found the reception stuff to be very friendly and helpful. The location was also very convenient and quiet. We liked being close to Hyde Park and we went there one day for a walk. We usually caught one of frequent buses that ran along park, a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The Paddington Station was a ten-minute walk and has express trains to Heathrow Airport. We did get confused when we first arrived since there are 3 small separate sections of Craven Hill Gardens and we hadn't looked closely at a map. We had one of the 3 person rooms and there were only 2 of us, so it was quite spacious. The beds were decent and clean. The bathrooms were quite nice and looked recently remodeled. We also stayed one night in a much smaller room on the top floor with a shared bathroom. That room was not nearly as nice but it was fine for one night and was quite inexpensive--72 GBP. The stairs are a bit steep with luggage but OK if you're in good shape. The breakfast was substantial, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, rolls, etc. The women working in the kitchen were friendly and brought toast and pitchers of milk to your table very quickly. The coffee was quite good. After 3 days we were a little bored with the breakfast and ready for a change. We also had good WiFi coverage in our room at no extra charge, which was very handy. We liked the friendly staff and the ambiance. We would stay there again.

Employees were excellent. I was surprised to be charged 4 pounds to store my luggage for three hours after check out. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and never had to pay for this. You might reconsider this policy - no reason for your hotel to be so unique in this (negative) way

I found the staff at the Caring to be very nice and helpful in terms of guidance to various places. Due to the way my booking was done, I was forced to change rooms as the room I was in had been previously requested by another customer. Suffering from the flu when I arrived didn't help much and the hotel doesn't have a lift nor was I offered assistance with luggage. I requested a room in the back as they were working on another house in the community and the noise was interfering with my sleep. They accomodated my request when I was required to move (On a positive, the room was ready) Back of house, the TV only received a few channels and WI FI was weak. A continental breakfast was complimentary, typical breads, cereals, fruit, juice and served in the breakfast room in the basement. The Caring Hotel is in a beautiful section of homes and is a 10-15 minute walk to Paddington. The building is lovely and the rooms are spacious, the rooms that I stayed in had full baths. I would definitely stay there again and based on the other people I met while staying there, they were repeat customers. My only issue was that I notified the desk regarding the TV and upon checking out, they acknowledged that there was a problem. They were aware that I was sick for most of my stay and I think they should have offered some form of compensation, or a credit towards a future stay, there wasn't even an apology. Again, I also would have expected them to ask me if I needed help with my luggage when I checked in, but they didn't. I also had to ask for the WI FI password. IMO, this is something that should have been automatic on check in. I think if the Caring did that, Caring would embody in the way they treat their customers as well as the name. While disappointing, it isn't enough to keep me from staying there again. As a notice to potential visitors, there is no lift and I believe the home to be a five story walk up, so if you have luggage or children or have troubl

great location ideal for visiting London near Metro good friendly home address has a great price has recommended

very very small room !

I enjoyed my 3 nights at the Caring Hotel...the location was great, close to Paddington Station and the trains to Heathrow. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast room was bright and the breakfast was substantial. My only hiccuip was getting my wake up call the day I left 1 hour too early. It may have been a communicaiton issue between me and the hotel clerk. In any case, it's always better to be early!! I would highly recommend the Caring to my friends. Annie

The location was wonderful and the hotel was very well-maintained. The price was great for the location.

Fantastic cost / benefit ratio. Very well located, friendly staff, quite neighborhood, nice breakfast. Strongly recommend!

very good. nice zone, staff very kind. spacious room. recommend.

Very good location. Its rather quiet, price and offered services are allright, staff very friendly. Breakfast rather poor and too early!

Althouth the stairs were terrible, the hotel is excellent for budget holidays.

Location is great near the train station. Rooms are small but clean and functional....Warning for senior citizens or anyone who can't carry luggages up to the 4th floor in a narrow spiral stairs.... there is no elevator and/or lifts going upstairs..this might be a problem to some people.

Very nice little and cheap hotel in the center of London, with an excellent quality-price rate. The room was small but clean and quiet. The breakfast wasn't very varied, but good enough for the price you pay and you can eat all you want. The common bathroom was very little but comfortable and was always very clean. The neighborhood was very quiet, with lots of shops and markets very near. Also there are 3 metro stations at no more than 10 minutes walking, very important in London. The best of the hotel is the location and the quality-price. If I come back to London someday I would probably go to Caring Hotel again. Highly recommended for travelers who want a cheap trip without luxury.

Excellent service of staff! they prepared breakfast before offical time. We forgot our train tickets in hotel room, and they helped us on phone with getting new ones, and sent us original tickets to germany for free! That's really nice! Some rooms are very small, but everything is clean and it's absolut enough for sleep at night!

It a very friendly hotel, but try to avoid the top floors because it does not have a lift.

The hotel was quite adequate for 4 days for myself and my daughter. Just found it odd that, in the bathroom, there were no hooks for the towels and no toilet-roll holder - both of which would have been possible. Situated in a quiet area, 10 mins. walk from Paddington, with plenty of eating possibilities in between. Staff vaired a lot but were all very friendly and helpful.

Just as the name suggests, the atmosphere is 'caring' and the hotel is excellent value for money. Great location, very clean and a safe option.

It was quite a long walk from the subway and the hotel was difficult to find.

Very nice hotel and staff. I highly recommend it.

Cute hotel located in a cosy and quiet area. Near buses and metro. Small rooms - but ok. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff. We had a very pleasant stay at hotel Caring!

Wonderful location, easily reachable, with mostly nice stuff (the brown receptionist girl was not the very kind type). The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. We didn't mind the small room, but the paper-thick walls made us some nights with not too much sleep because of our neighbour, and the door-shuts are really annoying in the middle of the night. Breakfast is good enough! And the weight measurer is a good idea, we liked it very much! I would really recommend this place, it's a good choice if you are in London. Don't hesitate to choose this when trying to find accommodation!

Lovely Hotel, not too far away from all visitor attractions. The staff, mainly Russian and Ukrainian, really could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The lady on reception on our arrivel even took time to teach 8 year old Joshua alittle Russian! Thank you all so much for a very comfortable stay with you, we'll certainly be back at a later date.

caring hotel is a very warm and welcoming hotel i was a woman travelling alone and felt very safe in the hotel my room was a small room with a double room with en-esuite with a flat screen tv for 104 pounds for 2 nights with breakfast the breakfast was good with a nice choice. the area was very nice and only a 3 min walk from queensway tube 4 mins from bayswater tube plenty of shops and restuarants on the same street of the tubes.

Great location near to Padington Station with many nearby restaurants and transportation opions. The area is safe and nice, the hotel staff was helpful and professional and friendly The place seemd to be recently renovated.

The room was really microscopic (around 6 sq meters) and the bathroom was designed for a caravan, but otherwise the hotel is clean, quiet, conveniently located 10 minutes walk from the Heathrow Express at Paddignton, and reasonably priced. I would only alert large people and/or travelers with lots of suitcases that there is really not much space.

We had a triple room with bathroom. The room was very clean and spacious. Continental (not English) breakfast included at the price. Luggage room for 2 pound/luggage. Good value for money.

Look no further! Caring by name, caring by nature. Absolutely perfect - Pro's: beside Hyde park and near tube, breakfast included, spacious triple bedroom, cheap prices, clean room and cleaned each day, quiet location, friendly staff. Con's : really none - if I have to pick one, it would be that there was no shower soap provided in the bathroom. But that is really not an issue and quite minor. Definitely recommend this to a friend!

I had expected the worst. Such a central hotel to that price? Something must be wrong. But no - the room was small - but clean, and had everything I needed, I have never seen such a small bathroom before, but it had bathtube,toilet and sink - so what more could I need? The surroundings were excellent. Many good restaurants, shops etc. and it was close to both underground, bus, and it takes about 30 minuttes to walk to Oxford Circus. If you want a cheap accomondation in a central place, you can not have anything better.

the first room was very small, we changed to another room which was bigger, but unfortunately located in the cellar. I can still recommmend the hotel, as location is good and price/value for london quite okay.

Nice Hotel well situated with nice staff

a parte il fatto che non ci fosse l'ascensore (ma non era un problema per noi poichè eravamo al primo piano) tutto come descritto sul sito. Personale cordiale, camere ampie, il bagno un pò ristretto ma pulitissimo, cambio biancheria giornaliero, a 2 minuti a piedi dalla fermata di Queensway (central line) e oltretutto zona molto vivace ricca di negozi, pub e locali. Quando ritornerò a Londra tornerò sicuramente al Caring Hotel

Situated not too far from Paddington station, I found the location to be very convenient. The room was a bit small, but for the price very acceptable. The breakfast provided was quite tasty, and the only little discomfort was due to a man playing tuba somewhere in the same building, still, it was at daytime and I believe it has little to do with the hotel managers. I would recommend the hotel as a good place to stay if a location close to Paddington is desirable.

A basic hotel, but clean, and service was very willing and welcoming. Extremely well situated for Paddington/Heathrow Express and tube services, in pleasant area of London. I was staying for one night, on business, and it was adequate for my purposes and good value for money

Good position, pretty quarter, small simple but clean room with flat tv, ordinary continental but good and plentiful breakfast, gentle staff, lack of inside internet point, excellent price-quality rate.

excellent place to stay

very nice! It was the second time...40 years ago!

We enjoyed our stay very very much! We stayed in London 5 days, had a great time, and hope to come back soon! We will pick Caring Hotel again, of course, becouse we were very satisfied with your offer. Thank you very much! Hope to see you soon!

The breakfast is poor!

The carpet condition and bedding let the hotel down. Dirty marks on the very worn carpet, sheets that didn't fit the bed and had holes in them and old towels was disappointing. We had an ensuite, but the shared bathroom was next door and was very noisey when being used, particularly late at night.

excellent hotel

We liked the surroundings very much, the Tube is near, the hotel is clean, the bathroom not very huge but clean and recently renewed.

We (couple in the 40s) stayed at the Caring for 5 nights in September 2010 an can recommend it. It is perfectly situated, 2 Underground lines, buses to Piccadilly Circus nearby. Clean and friendly. Breakfast ok, though not worth a recommendation. We had a double room w private bath, space was ok for a London hotel. Excellent price/quality ratio, a good value for an accomodation in London. We would come back on another trip to London.

Good value for money, clean and comfortable. Like an improved version of the old-style Paddington B&Bs where I used to stay happily years ago. No lift, but that's not a problem for fit travelers. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would certainly stay there again--and plan to if/when I return to London next year.

nice staff, clean and nice rooms, english breakfast a little meager

Caring is fantastic. Great location (5 minute walk to Bayswater tube station), facilities are new, spacious and clean, staff is very kind and helpful, we will definitely go back in our next time in London.

The hotel is satisfactory in general. The location is good, about 5min walk to Queens Way Metro station and surroundings are perfect. The drawback might be its lack of elevator and the breakfast is poor. Free Wireless Internet is only available in the lobby and breakfast room, but speed is quite fast. Room is small but clean and tidy.

We (my sister and I) had a room with own bathroom and it was small but very clean. We heard some voices from next room trough walls, but weren't bothered by it too much. Room was cleaned while we were at town. Breakfast was included in price and it was nice (cereals, toast, jam, eggs, some fruit, tea, juice). Hotel is situated in safe area with beautiful old houses. There were some nice shops near at Queensway. And only about 600m to nearest tube stop. Staff was really friendly and helpfull - ready to advice about shopping places or anything we asked about and to order a cab when needed. All in all we had a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

The hotel was nice I guess for the service supplied, location and price. But: very small rooms, very narrow stairs, very poor breakfast.

The room size is 2 meters by 4 meters one could hardly move with 2 single beds a wardrobe and washbasin and small desk in it. The room size is acceptable for single bed definetly not double.We had one single bed in the one corner the other in the other corner. Emails and faxes send to the hotel has not been forwarded to us. We stayed in the 4th floor with no lift. We found better and cheaper hotels and much closer to the Metro.

Walking distance of many underground stations, Quality as can be expected for this rate, maybe even better. Nothing fancy, just a good hotel to stay for your visit to London

Renovated hotel with clean rooms and correct services. Well located, close to Underground station. Very good relationship between price and quality

Easy location for using the underground system. Excelent place.

Basic facilities but quite good value for the price paid. Stayed in a double room with bathroom on the 3rd floor. Breakfast quite good as well: cereals, 2 types of bread + toasts + croissants, different types of juice, coffee and tea. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

If you are a budget traveller this is a very good choice! I traveled with my 14 year old daughter and we had a twin room with shared bath. Our room was small - but clean! As was the shared beathroom. The hotel has an excellent location in a quiret square with trees, yet close to Paddington. We warmly recomend Hotel Caring!

Well-located about ten minutes walk from Paddington & the Heathrow Express. Staff are friendly & helpful;the breakfast unexciting but adequate. My single room was small but not unreasonably so for central London. The room was very quiet and I'd stay there again. The hotel does not have an elevator (lift).

Overnight stay in London with my daughter (aged 3 1/2). Knew from reading reviews that the room (standard twin) would be relatively small, and bathroom across landing very small. However this was just fine for us at the quoted price, and all areas were very clean and well-kept. Perhaps the toilet roll could have been on a holder rather than just on top of the tank, and if everyone in the 3 rooms on the landing needed a shower within a short time it would have been steamy and uncomfortable very quickly, but for our stay no problem. Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was like our normal fare so good for daughter, and plentiful. Location was brilliant for travelling (Queensway is the easiest tube), relaxing (Diana memorial playground 10 mins gentle walk), and early evening meals. No problems with road/other nightime noise even with window wide open. Left bag for the day with no worries. Can heartily recommend this hotel.

Hotel Caring was a short walk (6 blocks or so) from Paddington Station. It's toward the east bit of central London but still inside Zone 1. A very short walk to Kensington Gardens, and from there you can get all the way to Buckingham Palace never leaving the Parks system. The Hotel didn't have a lot of ambiance, but was nice, clean and well worth the price.

English Breakfast would be nice.

We stayed one night before returning to Canada from Turkey. Very good budget hotel in a great location.

Great quality for the price. Stayed in the double with ensuite bathroom and the room was quite spacious and the bathroom immaculately clean. Not super close to the sights but easily accessible by both tube and bus. Would definitely return to this location. The staff was very friendly and very helpful; able to answer all of my questions about getting around and where to go.

We stayed at a double-room with a shared bath room, however never thought that it was going to be in a separate bed. But in overall our stay here was very enjoyable. The room and hotel were very clean. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Definitely highly recommended.
