Inhabit Queen's Gardens, a Member of Design Hotels

Hotellet ligger rett i nærheten av Paddington station, rundt fem minutter gange derfra. Vi ankom sent på kvelden og fikk rom i underetasjen, altså under bakkenivå. Hotellet er pent og nyoppusset, med god og gjennomført skandinavisk stil, men det var ikke noe særlig å bo under bakken. Siden vi bare skulle sove der en natt, sa vi ikke noe på det. Vær også obs på at toalett og dusj kun er adskilt fra resten av rommet med frostede glassvegger/dører. Ser fint ut, men ikke mye privatliv. Da vi skulle bestille frokost dagen etter, måtte vi vente i nærmere 40 minutter før vi fikk bestille, selv om kafeen ikke var full. De hadde kun vegetarisk utvalg, men maten var helt ok. Alt i alt vil jeg si det var midt på treet.

Location is excellent

The reception couldn’t find my reservation and I had to pay upfront for the room, even though I prepaid.

Hemos estado súper bien. Unificación perfecta. Habitación genial. Lo único que en los desayunos tardaban un poco en servir… por lo demás recomendable 100%

Having stayed at this hotel once before, I was hoping for another nice experience. Unfortunately, a few things went wrong for us, starting with a recurring fire alarm the first night, causing us to wake up several times and finally moving rooms at 4:50am. We were exhausted that first day in London. The breakfast, that I remember from last year including a little fruit bowl, croissant and juice shot, was pared back to just the dish ordered. Those dishes were just OK. The includee black coffee was watery and cold. Service was inattentive. We booked the sauna, but since no one told us that we needed to go to reception at the start time; we waited downstairs. Eventually I went up to ask someone, and they helped, but hadn’t turned the sauna on even though we had booked it, so it was cold for the first 25 minutes of our free hour. We also found the staff to be unapologetic about our fire alarm experience, offering nothing to better the situation. They did accommodate our request for a 1 hour delayed checkout.
