Abbey Court Hotel - London

Tiny room and absurdly small, cramped bathroom that had a little sink that was below waist height. Unstable wifi available only in lobby. Mediocre breakfast. Good location. Overall an adequate place to stay but poor value for money.

The washbasin is so small that your feet get wet, when you wash your hands. The bathroom was very mouldy. And I guess we got, because of the special prize of venere, the room in the last corner with the smallest window on the side of the street.

We had a tiny basement double with a window overlooking an air shaft. We complained and we were upgraded to a triple, which had a double and single bed. The floor was so slanted, we felt we were being buried at sea. Regarding the breakfast, the eggs were some sort of processed fake eggs and the sausages were awful.

great hotel considering London and English standards. Rooms were clean, the breakfast was good and the reception really welcoming. Underground at 100m. Above all, really cheap prices

We had a triple room and it was very tiny. I would open my suitcase on the floor at the foot of a bed and then close it up to conserve room. My grandsons would place their suitcases on the bed to get something out. No way could we leave the three suitcases accessible. It was July 1 and the room was quite warm until late in the evening.

My husband, my ten-year-old daughter and I have stayed at the Abbey Court in May. Very nice hotel with very kind employees. The location is perfect for visiting the town as it is near the tube station. In the surroundings of the hotel there are a lot of restaurants and pubs, all the area is quiet. Our room (a triple) and the bathroom were quite small, but, anyway we didn't pass much time in the hotel. Breakfast was quite rich (both eggs/sausages and toasts/jam, etc). We would recommend this hotel.

This was my second stay at Hotel Abbey Court. My room was at the fouth floor and it was otherwise ok but the shower did not work properly; only few drops and the water was cold for three days I stayed there. Hotel location and breakfast were very good.

I have stayed 2 nights and was quite ok overall. The breakfast should offer more choice, like croissants or pains au chocolat. My room was to close to a slaming door in the corridor.Otherwise it is a nice hotel a little expansive for the space of the room.I probably come back if i'll get a better room.

We spent 4 days with two children in this Hotel and we are very satisfied. Rooms and particularly bathrooms are quite small, but clean. We recommend it for the good relationship price/quality, the convenient location and the excellent competence and kindness of the staff.

We made a reservation in october in february we had 3 beds for 4 people!!!!

Good. Recomended.

GOOD HOTEL ONLY FOR POSITION. NEAR TUBE (5-10 MINUTES WALK). TERRIBLE IN SPACE FOR ROOMS AND TOILET. NO SPACE FOR LUGGAGE AND FOR LIVING IN. GOOD ONLY FOR JOURNEYS OF MAX 2 DAYS AND ONLY FOR SLEEPING. BRAEKFAST GOOD.

Hotel is pretty nice...excellent for location and even the relationship between price/quality. Is not the first time at Abbey Court hotel and think will come back, hoping next time will have a bigger room as this time we had so tiny room that we couldn't move!

The hotel location was great; short distance from Lancaster Gate and Paddington undergound. I didn't expect much of this hotel but I was positively suprised. Although the room, especially the bathroom, was very small it was ok for one night. The room was quiet and slighly shabby but clean. The personnel at the reception were very polite and I found the breakfast very good. I will definitely return this hotel for the short stay.

Poor breakfast. And also, a lot of people at the same time to have breakfast, so you have to wait. Good situation, near underground.

excellent service, with clean room and facilities. The only small let down was the very processed breakfast, however there was plenty of it.

I stayed for 3 nights in this hotel. For a short trip the location is perfect, just 5 min. walk from Hyde park and all important places can be reached via circle line within zone 1. Because i travelled alone i booked a single room. The only things i have to complain about is the spaciousness of the room especially the bathroom and the breakfast with a little choice. I recommend this hotel for femal single travellers. It's close to the tube and located in a well-kept neighbourhood.

We stayed 3 nights, and we are globaly happy with this hotel. The rooms are small (like everywhere in London, I guess) but clean. The buffet breakfast (almost "full english") is good and very well managed by the employees.

The money on this hotel must have been spent on the front and reception. The rooms were not impressive att all alyhough the batjroom was quite "new".

Excellent location close to buses, tube, trains, restaurants and Hyde Park. The room was small but comfortable. The breakfast room had a wall of fish tank which was very picturesque. Breakfast was basic but comparable to other London hotels which were twice as expensive. I would stay in this Hotel again.

No shelves in bathroom; Missing remote control for television.

L'albergo è in una zona tranquilla, ottima sia per le fermate della metropolitana che per ristorantini e pub. La camera era pulita, confortevole, il bagno piccolo ma ottimo per l'uso che si fa in vacanza (doccia grande!). Personale cordiale e disponibile. Colazione abbastanza buona. Andateci!

The main convenience is closeness to Paddington station. Our room overlooked Talbot square which was a quiet area. The bathroom was very small, especially the shower area.

This hotel was very central. Room was small, but clean and very quiet, very close to Paddington station. I was very surprised - and annoyed - that the hotel did not provide soap or shampoo, even though there were towels and hairdryer. Also the room was not airconditioned, and since it was very small, there was no air circulation.

very friendly people easy acces to metro and buses ,small room , no wi-fi in rooms nice location

Front building really noisy. I had to ask for a room change after my first night. Much better on the back of the building (poor views). Breakfast should improve the quality of the food. I just had breakfast 1 day out to 5. Free wireless and location are winning points.

La posizione dell'albergo è eccellente, vicino a Paddington Station ed Hyde Park. L'entrate è molto bella, ed anche il personale motlo educato e disponibile. Le stanze sono piccole (come tutti gli alberghi di questa fascia) ed il bagno è minuscolo, ma pulito. Non c'è cambio biancheria, ma riordino giornaliero sì. Colazione più che soddisfacente. Unico appunto è il rumore del pavimento (di legno) che unito al fatto che le stanze sono poco coibentate da rumori esterni fa sì che spesso si venga svegliati durante la notte o prime ore del mattino (almeno per chi come me ha sonno leggero). A parte ciò rimane il miglior albergo che io abbia visto con questo rapporto qualità / prezzo. The Abbey Court Hotel is in a very nice Area, very comfortable for Paddington station and for Hyde Park. The reception is beautiful, and also the employees are all very educated and always available for information. Rooms are quite small, bathrooms even smaller. Only remark is that the floor is quite noisy, and all rumors are heard within the room.

per essere a Londra buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Camera piccola ma pulitissima. Bagno minuscolo, lavandino per bambini e doccia con la tendina: tutto sommato ho visto di peggio, soprattutto perchè cmq pulitissimo. Colazione abbondante anche se con poca scelta. Personale gentile. Alla reception il turno della mattina parlava anche italiano e anche chi parlava solo inglese è stato sempre cortese. Dopo aver subito il furto del mio portafiglio sono stati disponibili e pronti a darmi utili informazioni.

we were located in the very small room on the basement floor with the poor conditioning and it was constant noise outside. The location of the hotel is exellent, it is located in the green zone near Hyde park very close to Peddington tube and railway station.

Room and bathroom very small Very poor breakfast

I had stayed at the Abbey Court Hotel last summer and liked it. This year I found improvements at the Front Desk (Sergio was delightfully attentive) and in the breakfast which has been expanded. I was in a double room facing the street (at my request) which was small but comfortable, with a very small but, again, sufficient bathroom. As always, both were clean and pleasantly appointed. The only defect was that the cold water faucet in the bathroom sink did not work. The location is, of course, excellent: only a block away from Paddington Station and 2 blocks away from Hyde Park. There is a VERY GOOD AND INEXPENSIVE (for London) Italian restaurant called "Ask". It's just around the corner, to the right. Also around the corner but to the left is a pub that also has good British food at reasonable prices.

Service was excellent,food was adequate,rooms were small but clean,could use better ventilation,AC or at least fans.1 warning,try not to be in rooms #3 or#4.Terrible water pressure and miniscule.

The bathroom was inexistent: tooooo small for anyone! The room needs some maintenance as well as the furniture. The breakfast should be clearly declared as NOT continental, and for family with young children it can be a problem.

The room was adequate, small basic but clean & tidy.

I think the Hotel is nice. I liked the bedroom a lot but the bath is too small. I booked on line and I can say that the differents opinions of users are true. When I want to come back to London I'll go to this Hotel again.Thank you very much.

El hotel es céntrico y está limpio. Cercano a metro y bus. Volvería a alojarme en él.

Room too much small(micro-room)and breakfast medium quality

E' stato un bellissimo soggiorno.Ho passato quattro notti con un'amica in questo hotel e ci siamo trovate molto bene! A partire dai receptionist molto professionali e gentili, che peraltro parlavano anche italiano, la camera era molto pulita, carina, accogliente e, cosa che mai mi era capitata...decisamente migliore che in foto, e abbastanza spaziosa per due persone.Piuttosto silenziosa per essere sulla strada. La colazione a buffet ottima, l'unica cosa che mancava era il bacon. L'hotel è situato in una zona residenziale, molto tranquilla e decisamente ben servita ed è davvero a pochi passi da Hyde park e dalla stazione di Paddington,comodissima per raggiungere in poco tempo tutte le attrazioni londinesi! Lo consiglio assolutamente, io ritornerò senz'altro!!!!

all ok

This hotel is located on the big road. If you hold the map, you will find it easily. It is very clean and quiet but a little dark. The big problem is its small bathroom and shower booth.

Hotel discreto secondo gli standard italiani. Comodissimo per i trasporti 100metri dalla stazione di Paddington (4 fermate della metro + ferrovia). Piccole le stanze ma pulite. Lavandino del bagno identico a quello del treno. Colazione all'inglese con tè, caffè (all'americana), salumi, fagioli, uova, pane tostato e marmellata. Personale alla reception cortese (qualcuno in lingua italiana). Prezzo onesto per gli standard inglesi.

On arrival problems due to lift not working but staff was there to guide us on an alternate route; took a while to get hot water in the room. Otherwise, a very good hotel for this price in London: nice, clean, and staff at reception very kind and helpful.

Premesso che il vero nome dell'hotel è Abbey Court Westpoint Hotel devo dire che la hall lascia bene sperare in quanto grande, luminosa e pulita ma quando siamo arrivati in camera abbiamo avuto una sorpresa, era piccolissima. A stento ci si poteva muovere dentro e la porta del bagno sbatteva contro il lato del letto. Il lavabo è minuscolo e per lavarsi il viso devi aprire la porta perchè altrimenti ci sbatti il sedere contro. Per passarci una o due notti può andare anche bene altrimenti uscendo dalla metro/stazione di Paddington ci sono decine di hotel. Dimenticavo la colazione, essenziale è il giuso termine per definirla.

albergo ottimo, metro vicina, personale gentile, stanze sufficienti ma bagno piccolo, colazione limitata

la colazione è molto scadente, servita in una stanza con una parete trasparente con tanto di acquario che meriterebbe un'acqua più pulita. le parti comuni sono molto kitsch, le camere pulite ma non particolarmente belle. tutto sommato, solo per dormirci va bene. comodissimo per l'assoluta vicinanza a Paddington

the hotel is very clean and the people working there very kind, it has the underground 2 minutes walking, just the breakfast is very poor but o.k. with the price. I will recommend it.

Grande cortesia, stanza e bagno di piccole dimensioni, colazione discreta... nel complesso giudizio positivo

Very low price and not bad facilities. Despite small room with old furniture. Employees service is very good and the hotel is perfectly located near various subway and bus lines and also paddinton railway station with its heatrow express (15 min. to airport). Considering that london hotels are very bad in general, here you have an acceptable option for reasonable money.

My room was shabby and the bathroom very small, but the price was fair given the location convenient to Paddington.

Tutto OK, di negativo soltanto il bagno molto piccolo. Centrale e ben collegato.

the only thing was that breakfast wasn't as good as we expected, there wasn't a lot of choice espacially no bacon!! Otherwise it was a pleasant stay

The breakfast could be better, and no bar are things that could improve the hotel.

Nice place with graet location, Very small room, Shower with poor water flow, Overall quality vs price-9.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable, nice staff, decent breakfast. The only problem was that I could hear everything that was happening in the rooms next to mine, added to the noise of the old elevator.

Good hotel, very good location, price OK

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

Glourious breakfast!

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

bat room too small

Bat room too small!

Batroom too small !!!

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

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!!

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.
