DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, EXTREMELY DIRTY AND FULL OF BUGS. We booked last minute due to train cancellations so were desperate and booked the first hotel we found that was close to the station. The bathroom was full of black mould, we didn't feel comfortable using the shower as it was so dirty. We went out to buy dry shampoo rather than showering there. There were cockroaches everywhere too. AVOID

Thankfully it was not as bad as some of the reviews suggested but it was still the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Booking in a rush and I didn't read the reviews before hand but I honestly don't really know how this is allowed to function as a hotel, the beds were the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on, the carpets were filthy and the bed sheets werent super clean. We were moved rooms after our door wouldn't lock and their offer to fix it in the morning wasn't accepted...the new room was better but still very very lacking...the windows didn't shut properly so banged constantly in the wind, there were stains all over the walls and carpets and the walls were paper thin. I did sleep alright but mainly due to the fact I was so tired The location was really clsoe to Paddington which was great but I really wouldn't recommend this hotel, it really felt like a youth hostel that should be about £20 a night...

TV didnt work, bathroom needed a good scrubbing, there was not tea/coffee in room, reception were unhelpful to the point of being surly and sour, did raise matters with reception who merely said they would have to see their manager who was not around - this hotel needs to be inspected by the health authority - avoid at all costs you are better off sleeping rough than staying here

Awful! Do not stay here!
There was a mouse in a room and the reception guy made me help him try catch it. After 5 failed attempts he finally had another room for us to stay. No mouse to be seen but the bathroom was a health hazard. Only ventilation was an open hole to outside and every surface had black mould on it. The silicon lining in the shower cubical was black with mould. The drain hole was broken. The shower stuck out an unfinished and open hole in the wall. The sink over filled. The whole bath smelled disgusting too. Bed was comfy enough. Only one available plug point in the room. The tv didn't work. Skirting boards hanging off the walls. The windows were terrible for noise pollution also and you could feel the room vibrant when an underground train left Paddington station

This hotel should not be on Hotels.Com's website!!! The room we were given was deplorable! The carpet hadn't been vacuumed, the washroom... well the washroom resembled a truck stop rest room. The shower stall was filthy, there was previously used shower items left inside the shower. The toilet has filthy, had grime and urine stains around the bowl. The sink was filthy, there was hair stuck to the wall next to the sink, from someone who had recently shaved. The room was below such standards, that my wife was almost going to go and buy cleaning supplies to do a thorough clean of the room! The front lobby area of the hotel was nothing like the pictures on the website. The front lobby area was unkempt, untidy and the fridge had only a couple of items in it. Not that we were looking for beverages... but the website shows a nice tidy, clean and fully stocked fridge... not the case! We got into London very late/early in the morning. Could we have asked for a better room, sure we could've. Could we have left the hotel and found a better room, sure we could've. But when you just travelled by train over-night and your exhausted, we just wanted a bed to sleep in and a roof over our heads. Hotels.Com we are really serious... the Norfolk Inn Paddington, London, England, should be removed from your website, its not worthy and its misleading, as well as a filthy hotel. We are seasoned travelers, who have been to many places around the globe... this is the worst hotel yet!

The hotel is really well located for Paddington Station and very well priced for London, but you really don’t get much for your money! My room was on the lower ground floor beside the street, and I was woken during the night several times by different noises. Someone arrived at the hotel early in the morning and had a loud confrontation with the receptionist right outside my window which made it hard to get back to sleep. The surfaces of the bedside tables were sticky and the place felt very unclean. Then, as I was leaving in the morning, I noticed a small cockroach run across the carpet! I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you really need somewhere, although with a bit of love it has the potential to be a good hotel.

I was not expecting too much because the price was reasonable but was disappointed on the first night of our three night stay. No kettle or coffee making supplies or even cups for water, no hair dryer, tv and remote not working, bathroom was not clean. Next day I insisted on what was promised as advertised and all was working and in place by the time we arrived back in the evening except for things being cleaned thoroughly. It seemed they were open to suggestions but didn't seem to know what they should do to run a hotel. It seemed as though they might have been new at it. They will perhaps improve in the future.

While i wasn't expecting a five star notel, this inn is very dirty and unkept. The tv advertised in the room is tiny and doesnt work. There is no battery in the tv remote control, no rubbish bin in the room just to mention a few. I won't be going to this in again

COCKROACHS everywhere, even in the bed!
Several dead cockroaches on the floor, pulled back the sheet and one scurried out of the bed. Pulled forward the bed, a live one on the wall and floor behind it. Next to rubbish and a scrunched up dirty pillowcase that had clearly been there for months. Baby coackroaches all over the shower tray, that we’re coming up from the plug hole. Flushed them away, they were back a couple hours later. And in the sink. So much mess on the bathroom mirror couldn’t see in it. Bugs on the floor behind the mirror No pillowcases on the pillows. The stench in the room reflecting its state, which could not have been cleaned in a long time. Couldn’t open the window. I asked to be moved, but told the hotel was full. I asked for a refund and told to go back to hotels.com. I asked hotels.com who told me to wait until they got a refund from the hotel. who offered 25$ compensation (which never arrived). But couldn’t find another hotel for that in London anyway, and so late at night. Will be reporting to the health department. Was awake all night. Do not stay here
