The Paramount Hotel

hello everyone! Do you know Padington Bear? Well this is your hotel. The hotel is in a good area, a little far from the center but with the metro 20 minutes from everything interesting. 15 minutes away you have Fred's café for a good breakfast. supermarket relatively close. Returning to the hotel, the shower has good pressure, windows with views of the park. but the bed is narrow. If you go as a couple you may fall. because? Because you are not Padington Bear and remember, this is his hotel. It does not have an elevator, it has stairs and in the middle of the hallway there are paintings and mirrors. In a mirror, if you repeat Padington 3 times, the teddy bear looks like you at night and makes you your tax return. As in most hotels, they no longer do daily cleaning, but they miss a deeper cleaning between guest changes. The trea**ent is very good, very friendly and they let you keep your backpack even when checking out. That's why I give it a 6.5. If I had a bed just a little bigger so you wouldn't fall over it would be 7.5. Now, if you are Padington Bear who is reading this, it is for you. Y ahora, para nosotros jugadores... hola a todos! conocéis al osito padington? pues este es su hotel. el hotel está en una buena zona, un pelín alejado del centro pero con metro a 20 min de todo lo interesante. a 15min tienes el café de Fred para un buen desayuno. supermercado relativamente cerca. volviendo al hotel, la ducha tiene buena presión, ventanas con vistas a parque. pero la cama es estrecha. si vas en pareja posiblemente te caigas. por que? porque tú no eres el osito padington y recuerda, este es su hotel. no tiene ascensor, tiene escaleras y entre medias del pasillo cuadros y espejos. en un espejo si repites padington 3 veces se te parece el osito por la noche y te hace la declaración de la renta. como en la mayoría de hoteles ya no se hacen limpieza diaria pero se echa de menos una limpieza más profunda entre cambio de huéspedes. el trato es muy bueno, muy simpáticos y te dejan guardar la mochila aun haciendo el checkout. por eso le pongo un 6.5. si tuviera una cama solo un poco más grande para no caerte sería de 7.5. ahora bien, si tú quién está leyendo esto eres el osito padington, es para ti.

Booking made with *********** Arrived 21:00 to find a notice on the door that check in closed at 20:00. Upon finally gaining access I was told by the “manager” that they had tried to contact me during the day (they hadn’t) and hence had cancelled my room without notice. I was left stranded by myself in central London. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour and it seems they have history of doing this looking at other reviews.

It’s true when they say “you get what you pay for”, although in this case you would at least expect basic amenities to be working.. a shower with no holder and blocked drain, topped off with the fact that the kettle plug wouldn’t reach the socket unless you used it off the floor, really did really set the tone for the room. Staff were polite and the location is great, but not much else can be said.

I booked a room through *********** at a certain rate, and was informed this morning by the hotel that the price was incorrect, and that I had to respond within two hours to confirm the new pricing or else I would lose the reservation. This is high season; the hotel canceled my reservation because they realized they could charge a higher price. What a scam. Cannot believe business practices like this are allowed to exist in the UK.

It was a good Experience for me. Location wise its very convenient,they have complimentary coffee and tea self service 24/7 which is okay and some cookies which is good. My room is located at the basement, for the price of it is very reasonable,i leave the back door open at night and cold breeze is coming inside which is good. Bed is nice sleeping like a baby. And the room is dark when the light is off which i love. I will recommend it for my Friends for a good price and clean and good location. Sylvia who works as a front desk is very Accomodating. Koodos for the team. Thank you and see you for the future booking.

Absolute waste of money rooms tiny tv has no picture the door on room 21 won’t look so your venerable to getting robbed as the key pad on the front door has only 4 number visible prints to the key code 🤷🏼 can’t complain about how clean it was until all the blood behind the door second time of stayed here the first was fine in the basement. But avoid room 21 on 2nd floor😱

It's in a great location, and the perfect price for 2 nights stay. What let's the hotel down is as follows...poor upkeep of the room, too many stairs, I was on the 4th floor, and there is no lift available, staff only available between 3.00am to 8.00pm,

This hotel is not suitable for those with mobility problems. We were on the 4th floor and its a whopping 89 steps. There is a floor above also. My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We found the hotel OK. It does not advertise itself to be something it is not. Our room was clean and quite large. With one large double bed and one single bed. The beds a very hard so if you do not like hard beds then this isn't the hotel for you. There was a TV with free view channels and free WiFi. The room we had was on the 4th floor. It was around 18ft x 15 ft with a bathroom of around 6ft x 6ft. The shower was great. Quite powerful and stayed at a nice temp. The hotel is very loud. You can hear everyone in the rooms above you and below you walking around as the floorboards make a very load creaking sound. There is a kettle, microwave, iron with ironing board, hairdryer, fridge, and an alarm clock in the room. However there are no cups or spoons in the room to make tea or coffee, so I'm unsure what the kettle was for. When checking in we were told there was a little communal room for tea and biscuits also (although again there was no cups or spoons in that room to make tea with). There is no smoking in the rooms. There is a back garden area for smokers. I would not stay here again, only because of how loud the hotel was with people moving around, as I'm a light sleeper I was awake alot. However for a budget friendly no frills stay in London this hotel is perfectly fine. Although if I had an issue I'm not sure what I would have done as there are no staff here. Only between 3pm-8pm.

My bed was a bouncy castle, making sleep extremely fitful and elusive, especially given I had to share the bed with my travel companion, who also was bounced around by it all night. The room was amazingly small and squashed, and the fit and finish in need of a revamp. While the shower was fine, the bathroom it was squeezed into was very poky. I also was frustrated by the receptionists’ poor English and had no confidence I could leave my luggage there all day in safekeeping. These no-frills places are categorically not worth it; save up and spend more and something that passes basic standards
