2 star Hotels in Paddington

I am evaluating the Tune Hotel - Paddington, where I stayed from 18 through 21 December 2014 in room 310 (facing Praed Street). On check in, the staff, including a 'Trainee', was helpful, polite and efficient. They asked me if I needed an area map, which I appreciated. They explained the services and amenities that they included for me as someone who had reserved the room through Expedia (WiFi, TV, towels, soap and shampoo, etc.). They reviewed the neighboring spot for breakfast. I was very pleased. As you would expect from a budget room, it was small, but exceedingly clean and neat. When I arrived, the exterior window was open despite the inclement weather. I appreciate that because I have arrived at many hotels where they had not aired the room and it smelled stale and shut off. I will leave the window open when I am out of the room to freshen it. The bath was clean and efficient. The Japanese seem to have a knack for designing tiny hotel rooms and their baths that cannot be beat and others could profit from copying them with their modular hotel baths in different 'price levels.' My one criticism is about the bed. I did not expect a pillow top masterpiece, but the bed was too hard and had a couple lumps and ridges. Is it not possible to find a budget mattress that is simultaneously comfortable and economical? I do not think that is too much to ask. The bed was topped with one of those 'duvet' style covers that is two sheets with a heavy comforter between them. I find

On booking, I was a little weiry from the reviews, but, due to price and location, I went for it. The hotel outside looks shabby, and lobby not refurbished, on check in , I was put in room 510. I found the room large with a lovely new bathroom and modern shower. The room did get very warm. But was great.

Nice, inexpensive hotel a short throw from Paddington station with wonderful staff. Nothing fancy, certainly, but lovely.

the ladies were really friendly and helpful in the breakfast room and with the room cleaning. the two young guys at the front desk are nice too.

For Americans who aren't typical Americans when traveling, this hotel is the perfect place to stay! The location couldn't be more scenic or convenient - Hyde Park and Paddington Station steps away! The room perfectly suited our needs: decent bed, tea kettle and fresh milk, nice shower with truly hot and cold water, and opening windows. Simple yet comfortable. Historic yet modern. If you want to immerse yourself in true British digs, then The Paddington Hotel is for you!

For the price, it is perfect. Great staff, comfortable rooms, adequate breakfast. Perfect location. It is not the Hilton, but you aren't paying 300 Pounds a night.

Hotel staff were kind and helpful. Room (twin) was small, and we had to be creative when opening and storing suitcases, but it was expected. Location was fantastic: within zone 1. Lots of restaurants close by.

I had a nice stay over there. Overall this is a nice hotel but just beware when any of you girls smoking outside the hotel late at night coz there might be passerby that might thing that you are doing 'business' lol. So go with a friend, don't stand outside the hotel alot especially you are a female.

loved my stay at the hotel very friendly staff room very comfortable very clean we loved I would stay there again.
