Great stay at Point A Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was very convenient. The hotel has a modern and welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent, especially from Shaimma, who was very kind, professional, and always helpful. She really made my stay even better. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Such a perfect time in your house. Everyone so friendly and we‘re coming back soon. Perfect location for train, bus, tube (Pddington Station very near), Tesco in front of the hotel. Pubs, little Restaurant on the left, on the right. Breakfast so good, everything you need and drinks to buy the whole day also an vending machine to buy things you need. Stuff is so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time very much. Thanks

Since this is my first time in London, I’ll need to address the fact, that I can not compare this hotel to other hotels in London. Anyway, I would recommend it. There are a few twists but I think that sleeping in a hotel in London is about making the best choice of money spent and needed luxury. The good things first: The service is excellent! Everytime i entered the building the staff would be at the desk welcoming me with a smile. If I had a question, the personal would kindly take time on my behave, the question was always fully answered and I was asked if I need anything else. I think that is the best service one can provide! I had a room at the second floor and I recommend to take a room as high as possible. The room was clean and without any bugs or anything. In my room was no window, which I would have preferred. But I think that’s ok. I got a modern air conditioner instead which was fully functional. The location of the hotel is very central. Right in front of the hotel is a supermarket where you can by drinks and cheap meals. Good way to save some money. I was allowed to eat the meals inside the hotel lobby, which was very comfortable! The bad things: If you have Problem sleeping in an loud environment I would not recommend this hotel. One of the train-lines ride directly underneath the hotel. Everytime the train goes by you feel the ground shaking a bit and you hear it quite a bit. I recommend ear-plugs. Probably the hotel is also not a good choice with children then. But I leave that decision up to you. The conclusion for me: as a man in the 30‘s it was a great choice. The hotel is central, you got relatively good and cheap supply on coffee and meals and the next station is really nearby

First visit to London! I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all the staff for making my stay so enjoyable. Special thanks to Shay and Abdel for their exceptional kindness, professionalism, warm attitude, and genuine care. They truly went above and beyond and made my experience unforgettable. I will definitely stay here again.

Stayed in one of the underground (labelled as windowless rooms on booking.com). It turns out the building is built right next to the underground tunnels. I could hear every train passing by. Didn't cause an issue for me but if you're sensitive to sound I recommend not staying in the windowless rooms. On the other hand if you're a train fan (or find the sounds peaceful) I recommend the windowless rooms! Either way wish I had known in advance. Otherwise was a nice, clean, modern hotel. Had a nice stay. There's a Tesco's over the road which was quite convenient for midnight snacking.

Hotel is in a great location with easy access to the Paddington and Edgware tube stations. It's clean and the staff is very friendly. They provide one towel for each bed and no flannel or hand towels to use. For me, I had to request repairs to my room multiple times for a resolution and the WiFi seems to drop every day for about an hour. Additionally, I have a lower floor room and I can hear the train rumbling below me during the day/evening. I personally don't mind, but it may be bothersome for others. However, for a clean, inexpensive hotel in a central location, I do recommend.

If you are staying for a weekend and don't have 2 weeks luggage with you the room is OK. Clean, warm, and the shower is good. Breakfast was very good. They have not tried to go down the English breakfast route and kept it continental with proper French and Danish pastries and assortment of fruits meat and cheese, all of good quality. Will definitely use this place again for overnight stays in London.

While traveling through Europe this winter, my mom and I chose to stay at Point A Paddington after having had great experiences with the Point A brand in Scotland and because Paddington’s accessibility makes it the Beyoncé of London neighborhoods: iconic, reliable, and always on time. We were not disappointed with our choice! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. The room was small (this is London, after all), but clean and comfortable, the perfect little home base for our city adventures. My only teeny-tiny complaint was that the room came with just two bath towels and no hand towels, but honestly… we survived. We’re adaptive. We’re resilient. We’re basically Olympic towel strategists at this point. Breakfast (included when you book direct) was simple, consistent, and exactly what we’ve come to expect from Point A, a nice way to start the day without the chaos of hunting down pastries before caffeine. But what truly made our stay wonderful was the staff, especially Shay and Harsh. Every day they greeted us with warm smiles, asked about our adventures, remembered our Borough Market tea obsession, and even offered us hot water for our nightly ritual. They gave helpful suggestions and always made us feel welcome, seen, and cared for. Their kindness was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll absolutely be back… in fact, I’ll personally be back in about three weeks! If you’re looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located hotel with staff who genuinely brighten your day, Point A Paddington is a fantastic choice.
