Lovely clean hotel with nice decor. The rooms were a little small, we were upgraded to a queen room but it was still tiny and the bed was definitely a double. Also no coffee facilities in the room, a communal station on the hallway with filter coffee that had turned cold by 8am. Otherwise great place to stay.

Good location near Paddington and Lancaster Gate underground stations. Nice little yoga room / spa but you need to book access to the space.

The staff were generally very accommodating and understanding. Unfortunately though, I was next to corridor doors which kept banging all night long. In terms of security, the CCTV couldn’t be accessed immediately to ascertain any event and it was only the manager who could review it the next day. The eco-credentials are also not as they could potentially be. Disposable sundries weren’t all from sustainable sources, cleaning materials and the cafe was still using non-recyclable plastics. The wellness classes are limited with 1 meditation class and 2 yoga.

I loved this place. Their commitment to wellness and sustainability is truly impressive. The rooms are gorgeous and come with good space. The space was so clean and I loved the diffusers they had everywhere, that was a lovely touch. Spa doesn’t have many facilities (salt room and sauna) but you’re allowed to have it all yourself and your guests which was lovely. Our spa session was cancelled due to maintenance so we were offered a complementary breakfast instead, which I really enjoyed. Probably one of the best, more affordable hotels in the area. Thank you for hosting us!

Lovely location, very convenient for Paddington and the Royal Albert Hall. I haven't slept so well in an hotel in a long, long time. The coffee was excellent and the breakfast splendid. The option to sit quietly and read in the library was bliss.

Really friendly staff and were very helpful. Room was spacious. Loved the wood and the use of space. Like the efforts to be sustainable/eco friendly. Rather narrow steep stairway to where our room was so glad there was a lift due to carrying bags. Good choice of teas.

Wasn’t great - sheets were dirty, with a sign in the room saying “we’ll change your sheets as often as you’d like”. Room was tiny, even by European standards. Only 2 outlets. Area is boring, though it’s close to Paddington Station. “Gym” was a treadmill, a bike, and some weights in a room the size of a closet.

We loved our stay, we were happily upgraded to one of their beautiful suites with a bathtub. The library area was great to do some work with and the gym was nice. Only downside is that the booking of the sauna is quite messy and staff often booking guests over each other or forgetting to turn the sauna on so it was cold.

Very clean and comfortable room and excellent service. The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood while being close enough to the Paddington station. Only complaint I have is the bathroom sink which seemed to prioritise the fashionable design over practicality. It was hard to wash the face or to do anything other than washing the hands.

A real little gem of a hotel, it is decorated beautifully in a very modern Danish style. Everything is very well thought out and the rooms smell amazing… Super clean, very helpful staff walkable to Kensington Gardens Hyde Park area. Our room was small, but so well thought out, good value for money. The staff were very kind and extremely pleasant or definitely stay there again.

False advertising and marketing!we arrived and got a room underground- a small blocked out window that you couldn’t open and no fan in the bathroom meant it was dark and stuffy. This is not what we booked and there is nothing on their site or other booking sites that says you might get a lower ground room. This should be made very clear. We asked for another room and weren’t able to give it to us on that night but a second night and that room was much better above ground with light and a window that opens so I thank the staff for moving us. Overall the hotel is ok. It’s modern but rooms are small and not many amenities

The design of all areas of the hotel is very calm and attractive in an understated manner just like advertised: it is a relief from the busy world out there. The health oriented food was great, service very friendly and responsive. The beds a touch firm to my liking and some room features looked and felt really nice, but were slightly impractical. The location between the Paddington station and Hyde Park is excellent. Overall, a great choice and better alternative to most of the other hotels in the area.

Front desk staff not very accommodating to the “Free Upgrade” that the hotel advertises. The hotels upgrades are rooms that are in high traffic areas where you will here people walking and talking in the hallways and doors slamming shut. The basement suite we stayed in was ok, but unfortunately we could hear everyone walking above us…. not well insulated. We originally booked a Queen room thinking it was the room with the tub. We were told it is the Queen “suite” that has the tub..so we were a bit disappointed about this.

I had an excellent stay at Inhabit. I was just there for one night, having landed from San Francisco and arrived early to see if i could leave my bag there until check in time, but I was pleasantly surprised that they could check me in straight away! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and the whole vibe was chill, calm but luxurious. I had a small room which I knew and as I was traveling alone, it was fine. It was well designed given the space and very comfortable. It would have been too small for two people however and worth noting that there is no desk in this type of room so if you need to work, you'd have to go downstairs where there is a nice lobby & cafe with free wifi. It was in a lovely quiet area just 6 mins walk from Paddington. I would definitely stay here again.

Well-located for Paddington Station, yet quietly positioned, I would happily stay here again.

You won’t get them if booked through Expedia or another travel agency. The dining, food and and drink on the property were great. The property is close to the paddington station, great for transportation to and from Heathrow, as well as throughout London. I would stay there again.
