Great location near the station park food and touristy shops. Clean comfy bed. Bathroom dirty mold in corners but fine for a few days stay. Nice staff, DID throw away my passport without noticing somehow and were not helpful when trying to find it. (found in trash out side of my room) but did keep our luggage behind the desk for an extra hour before our flight.
We were greatly impressed with the Castleton Hotel. Perfect location for travelers needing trains and the Tube and buses, affordable, clean rooms, decent breakfast, cute area and so close to Hyde Park. Staff were incredibly nice and helpful! Highly recommended.
Nice compact hotel. Hotel workers were super nice. The rooms are a bit small but if you are looking for a good price room just to spend the night it is perfect. We were 3 person in the room. The hotel is very central has nice pubs and restaurants near by, and only 15 min walk to Oxford Street. The only downside is if you have trouble with noise it is a bit noisy outside due to ambulance sirens. P.s they have complimentary Pay As You Go SIM cards!!! I highly recommend this place.
Less than 5 mins walk to the Paddington Station and St.Marry's Hospital bus station. There is a halal lebanese restaurant near the hotel. The staff were great & helpful. The room quite small but comfy enough. Definitely would stay here again.
Super tiny, but totally tidy. Perfect for my overnight... Four blocks from Paddington and Heathrow Express. Comfy bed and one of the better buys in the 'hood, because I researched it. The front desk was very helpful with the couple of requests: holding big suitcase downstairs, etc. Would recommend.
While this hotel is very small, especially in the single rooms, it's in a great location, is well priced and is also very quiet. You'd never know you were in the middle of London! The staff are friendly, the beds are comfortable and having air conditioning is a nice feature too. The bathroom feels a little like a cheap plane toilet in its construction but it all functions well and the shower was fantastic. I couldn't fault the cleanliness either. Some people have given this place bad reviews because of the room sizes but I don't think that's really fair when you consider the location. It's an old building in the middle of London and they've done a really nice job with the space. It does, however, lead me on to the only downside and that was the climb up the stairs. During my stay the lift was out of service which meant climbing endless sets of stairs to reach my room. Luckily I'm physically fit but it's not ideal if you struggle with stairs!
The location was fantastic, just a few minutes from Hyde Park and Paddington station. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was surprisingly good. However, the rooms were very small and cold, though you do get rather thick blankets. It's good for its price.
I dont know why this hotel get bad reviews. For me personally. I stay 7 days at this hotel. Everything is good. Even though the room at the toilet and bathroom is little bit small.For me as average asian size. It not a deal breaker. Khadir the receptionists guy also very helpful. With the price i paid, i think is worth every penny. The location also only 6 minutes walking from Paddington stations. Halal food also just few step away. There also a small mosque 6 min walk.. Hydepark also in walking distance
Busy area with Paddington train station, multicultural restaurants & colourful canal bridges.
