Room small but expected for London. Good breakfast included. Overall, good value for money. Only disappointment was credit card surcharge - not mentioned anywhere on web site.

7.3

We are a family of 4. We expect smaller rooms when traveling abroad. Picked the Falcon because of its proximity to the transportation (tube/rail), price, breakfast included, and reviews of prior stays. We were not disappointed as the hotel turned out exactly as we anticipated. Hotel staff was very helpful. Breakfast was above average. The price of the hotel is not a five star price so one should not expect a five star stay. As we read in a prior review, upon arrival we were given our choice of the "room in the basement" or for $15 more per night we could have the first floor family suite. We opted to pay the extra money as we agreed with the earlier review that the basement room seemed smaller, musty, and not as desireable.

8.4

Wonderful, friendly, and helpful service! The location of the hotel is perfect (great scenery, near restaurants, and near train station). The employees were very kind and even helped us find something amusing to do on our first day. They provided a map and excellent directions for us, too.

Très bien situé. Toilettes très éloignées pour les chambres sans. Breakfast moyen.

At our arrival at the premesis we were told that as a house rule everyone hade to pay for the whole stay in advance. This was before we had seen our room. It was situated in the cellar where we could hear everyone flush their toilets. The window could be opened so that we could climb into the neighbour room and vice versa. Between the two rooms was a dirty extremely narrow shaft full of old paint, cigarettes and other rubbish. The ciagarette smoke from the unhygenic breakfast room was unbearable, that fresh air in the cellar was inaccessible because of the narrow space between our room and our neighbour room goes without saying. It soon became clear that the room wasn't cleaned. The bathroom had a grey towel, we found someone elses hairs on our pillows and the reception was closed. Even the tea cups were dirty. (We made a video/pictures if anyone is interested.) After a sleepless night, no shower in the dirty bathroom and a full blown asthma attac we decided to find somwhere else to stay. There were a lot of vacancies at the Falcon as well as in the neighbourhood. We found a cheaper, cleaner and better hotel at dawn, not willing to risk a breakfast in the smokey unclean breakfastroom in the cellar. Coming back for our luggage we told the receptionist, now at last at duty, that this was us leaving, not us asking for a better room. He told us we could not get all our money back, but maybe some of it, if we met the manager the following day - and we had to pay for two nights instead of one! Talking to the manager her story changed several times during a short conversation. To us it was obvious that she was trying to cover her back and had difficulties with the difference between reality and truth. She even claimed that she had sent us an e-mail in advance offering a better room from our second day, and insisted on giving us a short peek into it with the lights out and curtains drawn. (It was at the recetion.) Wanting to get on with what we were planning to do in London

I have to start by saying that the staff was great! What the room lacked in spaciousness, the staff made up for it with their hospitality. The room was clean and the breakfasts were good. Located on a great little park just steps away from Paddington Station. Great neighborhood for food and drink. We had a triple room at the back away from the street. One odd feature was the closet where our toilet was located. It was tiny. I found it difficult to use gracefully without leaving the door open.

4.4

Pluspunkt ist die ruhige Lage. Zimmer und Bad sehr eng. Qualität des Frühstücks schlecht, Bedienung unfreundlich.

7.9

The hotel is a two minute walk from Paddington tube and situated in a pleasant sqaure. This is a budget B&B, but the accommodation is adequate for those simply wanting a clean room to stay in at night. The room was small for a double but still managed to include a shower and very large tv! The owner is a very welcoming and helpful lady. We will probably stay again next time we visit London.

6.6

It was rather OK compared to the price. Rather poor and dull breakfast thou.

7.8

Good prices, good location. The quality is not so high, but enough.

Merci, je suis partie avec ma soeur à londres et nous avons passé un délicieux week end, les hôteliers sont trés agréables,l'hôtel est extrêment silencieux, et le B&B est un moment sympa. L'an dernier, j'étais partie avec vos services à Venise et j'en étais ravie.

For me it would have been nice if it was mentionned when viewing the rooms on which floor the room is situated. I found it was a nice place but maybee would have tried to get a room on a lower level. Beside this it was to my expectations.
