Belvedere Hotel

No lift steep stairs but rest was very good

No elevator and with luggage navigating 60+ stairs as 65+ year old is not really on.

Not elevator in a 5 stories building and No AC

The property is older but maintained. Breakfast staff were very nice. There is no lift here and I was on the fourth floor so getting luggage up and doing as well as regular returns and leaving the hotel were more difficult (I am older). Location is great. Lots of places to eat and Paddington Station is just a few minutes walk away.

Only problem was there was no lift

The Belvedere was good except for the lack of an elevator. The stairs down to the breakfast were very steep and difficult if you have any mobility issues.

My room was on 4th floor no lift. Keeps you fit but a bit too much! Quite a hight 4th floor and very narrow steps. Room was dated not spotless but okay. The shower almost didn’t work in the morning took about 15 min before water was hot enough for a shower. It was ok but only just.

Best location ever. 5 min walk from Paddington station to ride tube or train. Paddington is an amazing little neighborhood with great food, great pubs and stores right around the corner. If definitely stay again. Lots of stairs to rooms fyi

The Belvedere hotel was conveniently located to transportation and an easy walk to sights. There was not a lift, so it was not as accessible for people with mobility issues.

Place was cute. But, we didn't ask if they had an elevator or lift. They didn't. My daughter has Cerebral Palsy and I've had 6 back surgeries. The stairs were cute but, narrow and we were located up 4 flights with 3 big bags. Otherwise, it was nice and close to everything.

Room was dirty. Room was in the basement where the underground tube would run underneath every 10 minutes shaking the entire room. Room was very very small, no room for luggage. Shower door was full of rust. Sink had not been cleaned. Window opened up to an alleyway and didn’t lock. Manager got mad at me for complaining and was very rude, made me extremely uncomfortable. Would not recommend this place to anybody ever. Stay literally anywhere else. The pictures available are very deceiving.

The hotel was nothing like the pictures showed. The walls were filthy and in need of repairs. The curtains in the room were stained, and so were the mattresses. I found hair on my pillow case. The carpet was old and we never took of our shoes because it was disgusting. The shower was really dirty and I washed it myself before getting in. No shampoo or conditioner's either. Yet the room was over $300 a night! All together a nightmare.

This hotel was fine for a night. Room was clean and had everything you needed and it all worked. However it did smell of smoke in our room. Even after leaving the window open all day! The reception staff were not very smiley or chatty but at least that meant for a quick check in and check out! Only a short walk to the station and well situated for Hyde park.

We only needed a place to stay close to the train station so it was fine for a night. The room was dirty and the bathroom toilet had obviously not been cleaned since the last person in the room.

Very clean room. Close to public transportation. Best value breakfast really enjoyable. Only downside was I had the room at the very top of the hotel difficult with a suitcase. Ask for assistance . However I would definitely stay here again, great location for the price.

Good location. Basic. But felt safe. Musty smell but room and beds clean

The carpet was very dirty and looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in a long time. There was also litter on the floor from previous guests.

Clean, near station and friendly (!) staff. The single room was small , but with TV and toilet and shower. No lift, good English breakfast. Room cleaning every day.

Clean room, good facilities

Great staff, great breakfast, great location, nice and clean room. I will be back!

This small hotel is great! It is true that you can hear and feel the underground shakes from the subway but, for me it wasn’t a problem! Bedroom is nice, comfortable, warm and clean! Bathroom is also clean. Definitely would stay here again

The room was OK but was in the basement next to a train line so I got woken up at 5AM due to the noise. I would advise all guests booking here to specify that they do not want a basement room. Also there was no hot water . However the bed was comfy and room clean and well- furnished. Also the lady on reception was nice and did try to change my room for me. Another good point about the hotel was it's location, very close to Paddington and a 15 minute walk to Marylebone. I would stay here again but not in the basement.

Staff helpful... room was basement , clean but noisy and claustrophobic from underground trains passing

Initially, we thought the room was ok. However, we then smelt sewarage in the bathroom. It was awful. Every 3 minutes we had an underground train going past. The room vibrated and shook.

A complete waste of money, trains are passing by every minute shaking the whole room, worst hotel experience in my entire life

great location and room for price. only qualm is no AC so room can get hot in the summer.

Very small room and a bit tatty, and could hear the underground below. Good location though.

The room was boiling, couldn’t control the temp I could hear the trains from the room. It was so loud the room would shake. Staff seemed nice but the room wasn’t.

This hotel was in a convenient location; close to buses, the Tube and good dining options. The staff was friendly; the wifi worked well; the beds were comfortable, coffee, tea & a kettle were provided in the room. The rooms were very small; with small bathrooms. Our bathroom had no ventilation/fan so there was mold in a couple of spots on the door frame. There was no air conditioning and our window faced close walls on all 3 sides, so there was no air movement at all and we were there when it was hot. All the hotels seem to use duvets only, which are just too hot without A/C; luckily we found duvet covers in the drawers under the bed and just used them. The hotel was also able to provide a fan, or we wouldn’t have gotten any sleep due to the heat.

The hotel has great character and charm, but the downstairs room I was in was unfortunately noisy with the tube running underneath.

Lovely hotel and Nice staff. I had read about the stairs so I asked for two rooms at ground floor. We got one room at ground floor and one at first floor. It was ok. Breakfast was traditionel english breakfast with bacon, egg, toast, beans and so on. Good beds.

Check in was ok, however we requested a taxi/ubber to collect us from the Sondheim Theatre and Naomi a staff member agreed to do this for us. However NO taxi/ubber arrived despite being promised 3 different ones with vehicle makes and registration numbers being provided. Finally after waiting 45 minutes and soaking wet we found our own taxi. My advice don’t ask for a taxi/ubber to be arranged by the hotel. Room was small and clean. However the taxi problems made me score 2 *

Convenient to restaurants, souvenir shops, hop on hop off stop,

The location was convenient but staff were not friendly or helpful. There was no hot water one night but was fixed next day. The lights in the bathroom failed for two days and staff were unable to correct until we checked out. There was no air in the room except for a fan therefore we had to leave the window open and the location is very noisy so we got very little sleep. In addition any movement in the hallways outside were very loud and were heard clearly in the room There was no staff to assist with our luggage as there was no elevators which is typical for that type of building. We have stayed in a similar building on the same street but their rooms were smaller however the staff were very helpful and friendly and we regret not going back there. I will never rent from Belvedere in the future.

Great staff and service. Clean room and convenient location.

The front office staff were exceptionally good. They were very helpful and kind. They carried my luggage, which were quite heavy, up the stairs and down the stairs for me and did it with a smile on their face. It is a tiny little property but very nice. The location was excellent for public transportation and there were many different shops and places to eat.

This was advertised as a family room on the fifth floor. When I got to check in I asked for a lower room because I have a disability and walking down stairs is painful and difficult. I was repeatedly told no more rooms were available and I’d have to walk up. When I got to the room I was horrified by how filthy it was. There were stain on the walls and mattress and sheets. The bathroom smelled moldy/mildewed and had stains on the tiling/grout. The advertised tv wasn’t working. Most disturbingly, the 5th story window had no child protection on it. I am a frequent traveler and this was the first time in my life we left a hotel to go to another location. When I went to turn my key in, the new desk clerk said there were many other rooms he could put me in, meaning, the person checking me in lied to me about other rooms and despite me having to share that I had mobility problems. So, he lied about room availability and put me on the fifth floor despite my disability. Avoid the filth and potential case of bedbugs and don’t stay here. It’s unclean and the window situation is unsafe for children.

My iPad was stolen from my room and the attitude of the staff at the front desk was awful. He said my laptop was not stolen so he doubts that my iPad would have been stolen. I had to call the police on my own and file a complaint. I was in room #1 and I had to leave the shower on for 15-20 minutes before I could get hot water.

Super friendly staff, no complaints, room is decent size, shower was small...But i prefer a bigger room over a larger bathroom so i didnt mind

Excellent location. Front desk staff were very helpful.

The Hotel is just a quick walk away from Paddington Station which has a Starbucks, shops, restaurants, the Underground and trains with direct rides to Heathrow Airport. The room had an occasional muted rumble from the trains but it wasn’t bad at all…we slept through it. The staff was upbeat and helpful. The neighborhood has a beautiful park.

This property is in an excellent location, just outside the Paddington train station. There are numerous stores, groceries, cafes, and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The area is walkable and just around the corner from Hyde Park, which was very nice. Staff at the front desk were also friendly and accommodating. I would, definitely, stay here again!

Was very close to public transportation and food options near by. We found a great Lebenese place randomly one night. The front desk people were very helpful and the room was cleaned regularly.

Perfect location to Paddington and places to eat.

I love the location of the hotel as it’s literally next to Paddington very convenient for my train the next day. The room is cozy and nice!

Nice little hotel. Very convenient as it is close to Paddington Stations. We had a room on the top floor and there are a lot of stairs. The room was not huge, but nicely done. Ditto for the bathroom. The shower was pretty small but serviceable. No air conditioning, but a fan provided a little respite when it got warmer.

The Belvedere hotel was conveniently located to transportation and an easy walk to sights. There was not a lift, so it was not as accessible for people with mobility issues.

Excellent hotel, great location and comfort plus a good breakfast. Everything was very clean

So I want to be fair in this review. The location is awesome. It is one block from Paddington station and very quick to get to from the airport or to get anywhere in London. There are a ton of restaurants including every imaginable cuisine within several blocks. The hotel staff are very nice and have been very pleasant and helpful during our stay. The breakfast is good and I would recommend trying it at least one of the days. Now for the bad parts, you get what you get. The property description is accurate however on the higher floors it gets quite hot without air conditioning and on the lower floors it can get fairly loud when trains pass by. The water temperature is inconsistent at best and during several of the showers we never really got warm water. The rooms are small and the stairs, especially the upper floors are a bit challenging. There is no fridge or microwave in the rooms. Overall I would still say that it is worth what we paid and we'd consider staying there again.

Ideal location, Paddington station within walking distance, market halls a fabulous place for food and drink and some great little coffee shops in the area to.

Good value for money, nice clean comfortable room and good breakfast.

Property says that you get a continental breakfast but you actually have to pay $7.50 per person for that breakfast and it’s only for one hour. It’s very hot. The pictures are of the courtyard across the street not of the actual property.

Reviews seem accurate overall. Rooms are fairly average size and bathrooms small, but we expected that. Breakfast was nice and the staff were simply excellent, but the room was crowded (they need to extend the timing by 30 minutes really). You can hear the trains, but we were upstairs, so they did not keep us awake. Heating seems to go off at night, but our room was not cold. Reception staff were nice and location is excellent (but there is building work nearby at present). Overall, no complaints and we would stay again.

Clean and tidy. Polite staff and great breakfast.

Small rooms but very clean. Good breakfast, English or Continental. Very near to Paddington Station. Restaurants nearby.

Very clean room. Close to public transportation. Best value breakfast really enjoyable. Only downside was I had the room at the very top of the hotel difficult with a suitcase. Ask for assistance . However I would definitely stay here again, great location for the price.

Very central to everything, hop on/off bus at the corner, staff all excellent and great brekky

Excellent value and I had a nice breakfast

Overall works for a place to sleep. The room was fairly clean however the bathroom definitely smelled of mildew and there was hair in the shower. They offered late check in which was great as we arrived at midnight. Expedia says breakfast is included but it is definitely not and only runs 8-9am. We had to leave before they offered breakfast so I can’t speak on the quality of food. I would stay here if I was only coming in to sleep for the night and not much more.

-Lovely staff, warm greeting on arrival initially and when we came back and forth in the day. Also from the ladies that did our breakfast. -Brilliant price for the location. V close to Paddington station, bus stop less than a minute away. Close to Hyde park, lovely stroll to the Italian gardens. -Tasty fry up for breakfast, perfectly done eggs. - Will definitely stay again. -Rook decor a little dated but bathroom small andodern decor, all very clean.
