Hotel The Royal Norfolk - London

9.0

Nice little bit older hotel in very good place few steps from Paddington station. We can recommend this hotel to everyone who wants visit London and finds good accomodation in good place for very average price. We will return.

1.3

This was the first time and the last one in this hotel. It is really bad. Good the location but the bathroom was really the worst I have ever seen at a hotel,no room to move inside, the towels really bad,I didnt have a good stay there. I will never stay again at this hotel.

7.5

We were a group of 9 students and I have never stayed in a better hotel in London. It is standard, but clean and it has got a charming old-fashioned style. The hotel is situated only metres away from the tube station, but in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood. Admittedly, the breakfast room is rather small, but early birds will not have to queue.

8.4

This was ideal for a 3 days stay in London. The beds and pillows were the most comfortable of any hotel I have stayed in recent memory. The bathrooms were clean and the bathtubs spacious and inviting. Shower pressure was excellent. The only drawback was the warm weather which made it necessary to keep the window open at night. There was alot of street and pub noise. Overall, I would stay here again.

5.9

El hotel está limpio y bien situado. El desayuno es correcto. Las habitaciones son pequeñas pero completas. El baño muy pequeño. El principal problema del hotel es que el ascensor nunca funciona, aunque siempre prometen que están a punto de arreglarlo.

6.8

Sehr gute Lage! Saubere Zimmer, gutes Frühstück. Preis - Leistung passt.

7.8

Small but comfortable hotel.Bad points: no lift, stairs noisy and intrincated, very small bathroom.Good: excellent breakfast, friendly recepcionist,station just 2 minutes from hotel to reach any place in central London.Good restaurantss and shops (Internet cafe)next to hotel.

7.3

La ubicación del Hotel es buena, a menos de 100 metros de la estación de metro y de Paddington. Los alrededores tranquilos y a poca distancia caminando del Hyde Park. La cama es cómoda, el tamaño de la habitación es tal cual el de las fotos, lo increiblemente pequeño e incómodo es el baño, prácticamente debes ducharte sobre el WC, nunca imaginé que podía existir un baño tan pequeño, como el de un avión pero con ducha. Los pasillos para llegar a la habitación eran laberínticos, con escaleras que subían y bajaban. Por suerte nos tocó una habitación en el primer piso ya que el ascensor no funcionaba. Los empleados eran correctos y amables.

6.8

Could do with a lick of paint, and carpets and curtains would benefit from total replacement. Excellent breakfast. Overall for a short stay (1-2 nights) value for the price paid

6.0

Excellent location, some rooms can be a bit tight, but are clean. Staff ok English breakfast good. Overall could do with an up grade but that said a great place for a weekend break. I for one will be back P.s. Value for money compared with some hotels in London.

6.3

I have been to London 5 times. The price for the bedroom is to high because of the very small room, it was difficult to arrange with luggage and 2 person.

1.4

L'Hotel era in un'ottima posizione (di fronte alla metro paddington e a numerose fermate bus)... questo è l'unico pregio... Camera al 6 piano senza ascenzore, le camere venivano pulite tardi (intorno alle 15.00) e a quell'ora eravamo in stanza a riposare, il bagno era un buco,usciva pochissima acqua dalla doccia e lo scarico era lento. Non c'era una finestra in bagno e la camera era stretta

4.8

Very long way to our room, no lift and no help offered with luggage, otherwise ok. Tiny but cozy rooms, central location and adeguate breakfest with shrunken sausage.

6.9

This hotel is ideal if you need to be in Paddington. It is about 100 yards from the station. It is a bit shabby but clean and the man on reception was very friendly. The lift wasn't working on June 10th. The double room I had was quite big and very clean. It was a bit noisy from the shower/bathroom fan from next door. The breakfast was very fast and OK but not special, however it was free!Overall I would recommend it if you need to stay in Paddington and don't want to pay too much - it was very reasonable.

5.3

The room was small with stagnant air. the bathroom's window was locked and the old sink without mixer.

0.4

Keep well away from this horrid place. You'll be throwing your money down the toilet

6.1

It's almost perfect location to stay in London. You can take Heathrow express directly between the airport to here Paddington station, and also available to take 4 differnt of tube lines in this area such as Circle, District, Bakerloo, and Hammersmith & City. Breackfast was good. Room was clean enough. The only one thing, I should ask that if the room has a bath, not only shower room because it's important for Japanese to have relax while staying there.

9.0

I have stayed previously about 10 years ago and standards have been fully maintained.

8.9

Only stayed one night but it felt like home.

4.4

The toilette was very small and it was inside the cupboard!!

7.2

We got what we expected. Thus no problem. We are happy. At the exception of the man who welcomed us at reception desk (as friendly as a prison gate), everything went well. Just for info, the lift still does not work (no issue for us since we travel pretty lightweight, but for the others .....)

8.6

Superb location.Very nice staff (mainly on our arrival date 13.03.09 afternoon 2.30 pm) Good breakfast. 1st little bit hard to find your room .(good labyrinth game with child). I would go back.

4.9

Lift was not working, and there was no man to help as the recepionisi was a girl. I had to carry my two bags to the third floor alnoe!

6.7

The lift was out of order (again)! We had to move our luggage on our own. However, we stayed again because the English breakfast is GREAT! Moreover, the hotel is located near Paddington Station. It is very convenient for fast runner!

8.2

This hotel was perfect for what we needed- a short stay in London. All amenities were within walking distance. The room was neat, tidy, warm enough and had everything we need. We would definitely stay here again.

8.0

We have been at the Hotel before, but this time We got at better room. The staff but one, were friendly and helpfull. We will come back again, and hope for an even better room! We mimissed the elevator, and hope the Hotel will bay a new one,the stairs are terrible.

2.8

First, let me say that the location is excellent. We are not difficult to please but I specifically booked this hotel because it listed an elevator. When we arrived, we were given a room on the top floor (4 floors up) and told that the elevator was broken. I understand that problems occur, but we booked our room months ahead of time and we were told that the elevator had been broken for a few weeks (not a last minute problem!). Someone should have notified us before our arrival. The bathroom also left a lot to be desired. Although I suppose it was technically clean, it looked horrible and looked very dirty due to very old flooring and old fittings. Finally, we booked a room for two adults and one child. I had specifically requested one large bed and one single bed. Our room had three single beds. Not satisfactory at all!

1.5

This is the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in!!! I will never stay here again and do not recommend it to anyone. The room they initially gave me was HORRIBLE!!! Room 412-avoid it at all costs! It had a strong musty scent, no windows and moldy walls! The heating was up so high I was sweating and carrying a terrible headache! The room was TINY - cld only fit a single bed infact when u opened the door it hit the bed. I couldnt get in with my suitcase at the same time. I mean I couldnt even begin to turn around in this place. The hotel lifts were broken and my room was on the 4th floor - they have very steep spiralling staircases and the place is like a MAZE! To get to my room I had to go up the stairs, down some staris, up again and then outside onto a bridge and then down some stairs...This is ridiculous!The room they initially gave be was HORRIBLE! I asked for a refund and so they offered to find me another room...It was cleaner, not much bigger, heating was still a problem, and when u put the light on in the bathroom it made a v.loud noise for upto an hr after switching off. You could only flash the toilet once and then had to wait a while before flashing again! If ur going to stay here, and i dont recommend it, avoid room 412 - no one in their right mind would want to stay in it. The staff were very friendly, but i'm afraid no amount of friendliness can ever make up for the hotels numerous ills!!!

9.1

Ths relatively small rooms were adequate for our needs. The breakfast was good and efficiently served.In spite of the fact that the rooms showed some wear and tear, they were clean, and the staff pleasant. The hotel is a few steps from Paddington Station, which made it easy to access all locations in London. We were extremely pleased with our visit to the Royal Norfolk.

3.4

We were transiting to Australia and the location for trains to Heathrow is good. The hotel layout resembles a rabbit warren and the lift was not working! As a couple we were allocated a room with a double bed. The room was microscopic in size - there was nowhere to put your baggage. The shower was so small you could not move to wash yourself properly. The licensing authorities should not allow this hotel to rent out rooms like this one as a double. Breakfast was adequate.

3.0

The bathroom was very small, and dirty.The wellcoming was cold. I had to ask to change the room because the window was closed;And the heating didn't work. The breakfast was simple.The lift was very small. The hotel was close to the underground, that the one positive point for me.

9.4

Great value for money. Rooms aren't too big but it's normal ion London. Very clean rooms, nice breakafst and friendly staff.

7.4

The location is excellent and works well for a visit to all of London (convenient to the underground and airport connections at Paddington). Overall, the hotel is charming and has the feel of older London. One suggestion is to update the carpeting - while clean, it detracts from the ambiance. Breakfast is included and good. Will stay there again.

7.3

We stay in this hotel whenever we visit London because it is close to Paddington Station. The transport is so conveient.

4.8

This hotel is very convenient to Paddington Station. But don't plan to stay in it for more than one night. It's very noisy and the rooms are quite small. In addition, there's a lot of stair climbing to do, even if you use the lift. An Internet cafe is just across the street, so don't pay for hotel WiFi.

6.7

Very convenient to Paddington station. Rooms small but ok. Good breakfast. Lift was not convenient to use for our room

5.5

Very convenient location for Paddington Station. Our twin room was very small but fine for a 1 night stay. Shower in bathroom worse than useless. Good breakfast.

1.5

I stayed in London for 3 nights. The room i booked was a double bed as a single is just too small. The staff are unhelpful. The room was so small. Everytime i showered i flooded the bathroom as the shower stall must have been made for vertically and horizontally challenged people. The rating was a 3 star. I would give it a 1. At least in Canada, a 3 star enables you to sit on the toilet and be able to close the door.

9.1

WE will come back to the hotel during this summer.

7.9

Had twin beds, picture showed queen bed. shower hard to get into. Room was small with no chair.

5.0

Toilet and shower room very, very small which lowers my opinion of the hotel. Breakfast was said to be buffe style, but for that it was very poor. The hotel could be recommended to young and small people

9.5

I was really impressed with the accomodation, the rooms are very clean, neat and quite comfortable. Their winning english breakfast was delicious. The location is central to most london attractions and of cause the london shopping district (oxfort street). I must say it was worth the price, I actually wished I could stay a little longer.

5.0

Well, I need to say employees were all nice, kind and very helping. I have to thank all of them one by one. The rooms are quite small but absolutely clean. Well, it's noisy because of all restaurants around, tourists coming and going all the time... but I've slept very well all nights.:) The breakfast in my view was good. I still think the price was a bit high, but anyway, this is London and the service was good. You have access to metro, buses and Taxis very easily. An internet cafe is just on the other side of the street, and all kinds of restaurants are around. Bank and post office are also near. Overall, in comparison to the price you pay, this is a good hotel, yes, I'll come back there.

8.2

very clean rooms, 30 second walk to paddington station which is within a 10 minute ride to most major locations in London. Noise from the station was never an issue, beds were clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful with providing tickets to the wax museum and were on time with the wake up calls. Only issue was the tiny rooms and tiny bathroom, but thats typical of London hotels.

3.0

Have stayed at this Hotel before and had a much more spacious room. Was disappointed with the value for money this time. The location is ideal but noisey.

8.0

Good straightforward hotel offering no more and no less than it promises. Price is reasonable and it is conveniently located for Padddington Station. I have stayed before and will likely stay again.

0.5

My room was extremely tiny! I've never seen such a small room ! The bathroom was extremely tiny. I was not able to have a shower because of missing of space! Moreover, the room was very noisy because of cars and people shouting all the time. The only positive thing was the position, close to Padding Station but that is not a problem in London. In conclusion, I don't recommend this hotel for your staying in London. Too expensive for what you get!

2.4

The room was facing the garbage dump of the Burger King with all sorts of fumes coming through. Close to Paddington station so one can feel the rattling of the trains going by from 5am until 2am. The toilet facility in the room was makeshift with a molded garbage can and even when I informed them to remove it, it was still there. Let's just say this is a hostel, good for hitch hikers travelling around who need a room for one night.

9.9

Perfectly located only 100m away from paddington station,welcoming and well informed reception staff,rooms are clean and cosy,good value for the money.will come back again

6.7

Personnel doesn't smile, except nice lady working at reception desk, the night clerk and boy at breakfast. Rooms are small and old, but very clean ( most important thing ), the hotel is so close to tube station and bus stops. By the way I would come back to this Hotel.

7.7

Room itself was not too bad, but the bathroom was really very very small. We have stayed in many hotels over the years, but this one is the smallest we have seen (like being in a caravan). For breakfast you could choose between a continental or English breakfast. Both ok. Underground Station Paddington is only a minute away and there are enough restaurants around the hotel for dinner.

8.4

excellent relationship between price/quality, large twin room, clean, but cheap breakfast

9.8

Didn't actually stay at Royal Norfolk. Due to a 'computer error' my party was moved to another hotel. This was the Athena Hotel, which was not far away in Sussex Gardens, but still a slight inconvenience.

7.8

Hotel located at corner of a pleasant tree lined square only 2 mins from Paddington Station. Clean ensuite rooms with Satellite TV and coffee making facilities. Good breakfast served in a spacious breakfast room

8.3

The hotel is conveniently located just around the corner from Paddington Train and Underground station. Staff really makes an effort and is really friendly.

4.4

Hotel was as we expected, not great but ok. Very small room, some noise could be heard from Paddington Station. Breakfast was ok, you could choose between English or Continental Breakfast.

4.2

Das Zimmer war sehr klein, die Tapeten flüchteten bereits von der Wand. Im schimmeligen Bad war ein schimmliger Duschvorhang, der einem am Bein klebte, wenn man auf der Toilette saß. Der Teppich war dreckig. Wir hatten allerdings ein recht ruhiges Zimmer nach hinten raus. Ansonsten war das Hotel ordentlich, das Personal freundlich und das Frühstück recht lecker.

6.2

Está situado e un costado del metro de Paddinton, lo que representa ruido de noche, pero en realidad lo más grave es el baño. Es una minúscula caseta telefónica convertida en ducha, realmente es un logro bañarse, preferiría pagar más dinero por un espacio respetable. Es una lástima porque por fuera y en la recepción el hotel parecería de mayor calidad. No lo recomiendo para quien espera descansar bien después de un día de caminar por Londres. Los alrededores son buenos porque se está muy cerca de la zona residencial de Hayde Park.

6.1

camere pulite. colazione abbondante. noi eravamo al quarto piano e sentivamo il rumore della caldaia soprastante....diciamo un po' rumorosetta.tanti ristoranti intorno all'hotel. comunque buon rapporto qualità/prezzo

7.1

Great base to see london,easy to find good transport links,down side front rooms can be noisy with road traffic etc...

7.8

Excellent location for travelers; very close walk to Paddington station/Heathrow Express. The twin room we stayed in was small with a tiny shower room, but very clean. Breakfast area is charming, but the included breakfast is not great. Desk staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

6.1

Tiny hotel but comfortable. Breakfast not abundant (no buffet) but you can choose between English or continental breakfast. Cleanliness regular with change of bed sheets and towels. Its very quick and near to Paddington Rail Station and tube station, a lot of fast foods and steak houses near the hotel.

6.0

It is very near the Paddington Station. So it is good for a short stay in London.

8.8

Very reasonably priced for triplet room during peak season and staff were very accomodating. Breakfast is included in the price and is served at your table. Reception is manned 24 hours a day so there is no problem with coming back late after gigs, shows etc.

8.1

La qualità dell'hotel è molto buona, la stanza accogliente ed adeguata per un soggiorno breve a Londra. Il personale è competente e molto gentile. La zona in cui si trova questo hotel è servita da ben 4 linee della metro quindi spostarsi per qualsiasi parte della città è veramente facile. Consiglio questo hotel.

8.2

We had a good time! Nice spacious room, good beds and a nice bathroom. We were not bothered by noice from the train station even though we had the windows open at night. Nice breakfast room and friendly staff. Only comment: We were asked to pay for the entire stay when checking in, which was not mentioned anywhere when we booked the room. However, as there were no problems during the stay we didn't pursue the matter. Nice hotel, would come again :-)

7.1

Ridiculously small room (and even more ridiculously small "bathroom") - but it was what I expected for the price.

7.3

The bathroom is more than tiny!

7.7

Very nice hotel. Good price, excellent location. Clean rooms, good services, possibility of making coffee and tee in the room. Good breakfast.

2.9

Room was semi dirty and smelled strongly of smoke from prev guests. Bathroom TINY, hot water took a while to come. Good location though close to Paddington station. Breakfast decent. Ok for overnight stay but no more than that.

2.9

The smallest and most terrible bathroom I have ever seen. You actually cannot call that a bathroom, it was smaller than the closet and water was also coming up, toilet not working well. At first the light was not working in the bathroom also and telepnone not working the whole time. TV very poor quality and without remote control. And the worst thing - the room was smelling after some chemicals which made us dizzy and noone paid any attention to this - seemed that some chemicas were spayed against the insects outside our window.

5.4

the location is splendid

6.8

This hotel was okay for a short stay of 1-2 nights, but would not be okay for a longer stay. The location was very convenient, being close to Paddington station. The room was small and the bathroom was very, very, very small! And it was up a step or two which made it potentially dangerous.

6.6

The location is great and the breakfast very good but our room was small and noisy as the train tracks from Paddington were nearby. I could only open my suitcase if it was on the bed. I had requested a double room but got a twin. However, for London on a budget it is probably the best around. I just made another reservation for this years trip

8.7

The hotel is very well located within walking didtance of Paddington with luggage..East access to underground and buses Extremely friendly and helpful receptionist The breakfast is very good The room on the small side but has everything you need and for the price is good....Shower in bath without a curtain .... We feel that it is good value for money in London and will stay again..This was our second visit

7.7

L'unica vera pecca di questo albergo sono i bagni davvero minuscoli (a livello di camper). Per il resto è adeguato al prezzo, e la colazione è inclusa. Quello che ci fa consigliare questo albergo è la posizione. Per la metropolitana basta attraversare la strada. Proprio fuori l'albergo c'è la fermata del bus turistico. Inoltre è attaccato a vari pub e da non trascurare la vicinanza di Burger King/Mc Donald e KFC (per spuntini veloci ed economici) oltre una serie di ristorantini etnici nei dintorni. Se siete una coppia giovane in vacanza che, come noi, non va in vacanza per l'albergo ma lo usa solo per dormire, allora è adeguato. Dimenticavo, in camera c'è anche lo stereo e vi consigliamo vivamente di mettere la radio su 105.4 (magic) che è solo musica revival, senza speaker...

5.2

The Royal Nofolk could work on their hospitality towards their customers. It sometimes felt like we bothered them by asking for the key! Otherwise, the location was perfect and the room was ok. It was my first stay at the RN.

1.1

I have nothing good to say about this hotel. From the moment I arrived the assistant made me feel unwelcome, I had heavy luggage which there was no one offering to help me with. To get to my room I had to travel to the 4th floor in a carpeted box which felt terribly un safe only to find I had to climb across the roof of the building to reach my own personal hell hole. The room(?) was litterally a bed and a wardrobe with about 2feet of space to manouvre in. It smelt like what I can only describe as an old man that had wet himself before dying in front of a fire. It was fly infested and provided no heating or hot water. Bathroom facilities provided dirty cracked tiles, mould in the grouting and towels that were 60 years old. The entire premises looked to have had no evidence of any maintanance carried out since the 1900's. I felt thoroughly unsafe throughout the night in this rikerty old building and did not sleep a wink for shivering. I arrived very late and very tired to this hotel/squat and was unable to find any other accomodation at this time, otherwise I would have fled. Never would I wish this experiece upon anyone. The pictures shown on the website are cleverly presented to disguse the hotels appauling state. I advise you to stay away.

1.7

Hotel staff can't find my booking when I checkin. Finally they gave me the room without window and it was a smoking room which was so disgussing! The set-up of the hotel is poor as too many different sections and narrow stairs which not convenient to carry large luggage to the room. Overall experience was very poor and would not recommend others to stay.

1.6

I have stayed in dozens of hotels in London over the years, usually depending on the areas in London I am primarily interested in, whether it be sightseeing, shopping, visiting friends, etc. I have never had a worse experience than at the Royal Norfolk. The elevator wasn't working (I don't think it had worked for years). I had recently had knee surgery and decided not to let that postpone my vacation. I chose the hotel because of its location and because it had an elevator. My single room was tiny, which isn't a big problem. The carpeting was extremely dirty and stained. My bed had only the bottom sheet and a stained comforter. I asked for an additional bed sheet and slept without the comforter. The bathroom was one corner of the room and the shower was dirty. There was a sign on my door to make sure my door and window were locked when unoccupied. My window didn't lock. I told the manager upon arrival that I couldn't carry my luggage up the stairs and was told I would "have to wait 2 hours until a porter arrived" (this was at 3:00 in the afternoon). My breakfast was fine as I chose the corn flakes and yogurt. Those who chose the cheese and ham got the one slice of cheese wrapped in cellophane. Those who opted for the English breakfast could only have their eggs done one way. Unbelievable. Obviously, I would not recommend this hotel if I were paid to do so! Best to stick to tried and true hotels.

6.9

It was only one night stay,before leaving to USA,but overall stay left good impression.Especially surroundings with pubs,Padington station,etc.For short stay I would strongly reccomend this hotell.

3.3

I will not stay there another time. We lived on the thrid floor, the elevator was out of order, we had to sit in the hallway to wait for a waiter to give us a table for 15 minutes even when we saw 5 avalable tables when we came in. the room were way too small and the bathroomfacilities even smaller.

6.6

We stayed at the Royal Norfolk on the first night and the last two nights of a european vacation in July 2006. The first night, we were in a VERY tiny room (only one suitcases could be opened at a time) and the last nights the room was significantly bigger. bathrooms could be much better (toilets need to be flushed a few times, shower is a tiny in corner in the bathroom). There's no A/c but the windows open widely to let a breeze in. Couldn't be closer to paddington station! so convenient! Although the price was high for these accommodations compared to other cities, i think it would be hard to find better in london. breakfast is served by two waitresses (cheese and ham or corn flakes + tea/coffee + toast is included or you can upgrade to the englihs breakfast...not recommended!!!!) At the reception, you can buy tickets to sightseeing tours, and there are lots of info brochures as well. There is a lift, but unless you are in a very specific part of the hotel, you will have to go up and down many sets of stairs to reach your room....lots! both rooms had alarm clocks, phones and tvs. beds were comfortable. i would stay here again, and would recommend it to others,but warn them not to set their expectations too high. in the same neighbourhood are many other hotels featured on many budget hotel websites. compared to the others we walked by, this one looked like the nicest one (when we compared prices online, they all had about the same rate).

3.2

Our first impressions of our room was that it was too small for two persons. The bed filled almost the entire room. We also quickly noticed how filthy it was. There was dust all over, particularly in the window post and bathroom. Red wine or something similar was spilled both at the window post and the shelf under the mirror at the bathroom. The dining-room was always full and the queue outside was a bad joke. The breakfast was nice, but wasn't really worth the long wait. Our impression of the staff was that it consisted of inexperienced workers, mostly foreign students working there for the summer. Their knowledge of the surroundings was very lacking. Our room was supposed to be ready at 13:00, it wasn't. As the temperatures were high during our stay (up to 40 degrees celsius) air condition was sorely lacking, thus making it necessary to have the window open at all times. This meant that noise from the street and Paddington Station was heard constantly. There could at least have been a fan there, either standing or mounted in the roof. The advertised number of TV-channels was a pure lie. We had five (5) TV-channels, but NO REMOTE CONTROL. The WC was broken at the time of arrival, but with a bit of hassle it would eventually flush. The shower was not made for tall people and a thorough cleaning was clearly needed. The luggageroom was so tiny and cramped that it was a big undertaking getting luggage in or out. It would be a big lie to say that this hotel met our expectations in any way. If there is anything positive to say about this hotel and the service provided it must be that we got a refund of some amount for paying up front, we got clean towels every day and it's close to Paddington station if and when you want to escape (though you can't escape the noise from Pad. Station).

6.8

I waited long for checking-in as another customer occupied only one staff. It was hard to go to my room with heavy suit case, up and down trough the labyrinth. Besides those, I am satisfied with its good location and rather econimical rate.

7.9

Great Location, close enought to Paddington Station for a quick tube ride into the centre/major sites,etc. The rooms were small, and to be expected in London. Surroundings were better than expected. Stick with the free breakfast, the 2 pound upgrade to an "english breakfast" was not worth it. A shower curtain would have been nice. The staff were kind enough.

2.5

The hotel is advertising using a picture of its welcoming desk and I understood why. Actually, if they use a picture of the room I lived in, they will not have any new customer !!! Very small, very noisy as the train is close, hot as the window is small and the bathroom is ugly... Furthermore, the welcoming desk is really not friendly. Breakfast is common. I booked for 5 nights and fortunately I found another hotel ! I do not recommend this hotel !

7.1

Very friendly staff, we enjoyed at Norfolk. Rooms quite clean, every day, but small!Anyway it's the hotels' standard in London. We had english breakfast for a cheap price. Location is the best: Paddington...I like so much that place: every time I stay in London, always Paddington! See you next time Royal Norfolk ^____^

4.0

Early morning (and late night) trains very noisy. Carpets were very dirty, towels stained and torned. Photographs on webpage misleading. Can this realy be three star accomodation?

5.6

Not a bad hotel, very close to Paddington station, breakfast options good. Small room, noisy, no lift in the wing my room was in. for the price, it was ok.

6.1

room and breakfast were ok. bathroom tooooooooo small. beds were awful. location is very good.

7.7

Overall quite good regarding the low price. Great location near to busses, subway and surroundings.

6.1

Sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung in direkter Nähe, genügend Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Pubs im Umfeld, Einrichtung des Hotels ist alt und nicht geschmackvoll, unser Zimmer war sehr eng, das Bad eine kleine Katastrophe, was durchaus räumlich gemeint ist, für ein paar Tage dennoch tauglich, wenn man keine allzugroßen Ansprüche stellt. Sauber war alles, es wurde täglich gereinigt, das Personal war nett. Gut war das English Breakfast, das im Preis inbegriffen ist. Aufgrund des beengten Frühstücksraumes wurde es leider nicht wie hier gewohnt als Buffet dargereicht, satt wird man aber dennoch. Für das nächste Mal würde ich wahrscheinlich ein anderes Hotel wählen, weil es mir insgesamt zu eng war und ich Wert auf ein vernünftiges Bad lege. Der Preis für das Zimmer erschien mir hoch, wenngleich dies in London normal ist. Trotzdem waren günstigere Hotels auszumachen, die von aussen keinen schlechteren Eindruck machen. Wer hauptsächlich ein Bett und gute Verkehrsanbindung sucht, ist hier genau richtig.

4.2

One of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in, and most definitely the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. There was a strange smell in the room, like some sort of parfume was used in order to conceal a worse smell. We got a room on the corner of the building, so there were two quite noisy roads just outside the window. Hopefully, there are better rooms in the hotel. Good location, though, just a few metres from Paddington station.

1.6

The staff was not kind, paticular the staff in the morningroom.It was not a nice experience.

6.4

Very convenient location to catch a train in Paddington station. Nice served English breakfast.If it can change into buffet served, it may be more efficient. Please hang out a clear sign with the hotel name for tourists.

8.3

Just around Paddington station and not half as loud as expected - although we had a room to the mnain street. Breakfast not as good as praised by others here but reasonable, clean room, relatively large compared to other London hotels and friendly atmosphere. I will return two weeks from now!

8.5

The hotel is next to subway.You will hear and feel a vibration of the subway until 0100am and again starting 0500am.One of the receptionist - Slovak ( we forgot his name) was very rude, and not helpful, passive -agressive attitude. The breakfast was very small, not enough for male travelers.The location was good for someone who wants to explore London. I would never recomend this hotel to my friends.

Our 3 member family stayed for 1 night inbound and after feeling OK booked for one more night on our return 4 weeks later. Our first night was Ok despite the extremely small lift and the limited storage area. This was in a standard room. Tiny but adequate. Our second night 4 weeks later was a different story. We had to go into the Mews, as there was no other room available, at a cost of 90 pounds. The Mews was hot and very uncomfortable despite the extra room. It was narrow, on 2 levels, and we heard the arrival and departure of every train in Paddington Station which lies beneath. We only got 2 hours sleep! It is not airconditioned and was very disappointing. The fridge froze up and kept the drinks warm instead of cold. The hot water ran out after 2 minutes and 12 hours later was still cold. All in all my advice is this: if you have to stay here make sure it's in the main hotel, never go to the Mews. Also the breakfast is only average, the bacon appears boiled instead of grilled. The WiFi Internet access costs 4.50 pounds an hour, so be careful. Price wise, London is expensive and so is the Norfolk.
