The Shakespeare was ideal for my one night stay in London, being conveniently close to Paddington Station. The staff were helpful and the room was clean with comfortable bed and good shower.

Super convenient just within quick walking distance from Paddington. Hope for a room near the lower levels to avoid trekking bags up stairs.

Unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to stay at this hotel as there was a maintenance issue with our room on arrival. We were taken to the hotel next door. This was apparently has a 3 star rating which I feel is debatable. The double bed was the smaller double I've ever slept in, uncomfortable pillows and extremely thin walls.

Amazing area. Plenty of indian and Turkish restaurants near by. Managed to get a private room at an amazing price. had a weird interaction where I was woken up from my sleep and asked if I was making noise/ heard a noise. kind of off-putting but decent stay otherwise.

Great location and room, although small was clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated and there only appears to be a small staircase but not a problem for me. I would stay here again.

The property needs some updating in furniture, pains and the sealing of the rooms needs to be cleaned as there were old dust, but the room and bathroom itself was clean. The breakfast was the best. Staying in room was not comfortable as the underground was laud and shaking the window and made noise, which I really couldn’t have a good sleep there.
