Shakespeare Hotel

We loved our stay here. The room is fairly small but it is average size for this area. The position was amazing, so close to Paddington station, restaurants, Hyde Park etc. It does not have an elevator so be prepared to climb stairs. The continental breakfast is quite basic, but enough for us. They also have a billard table and other activities for guests to do. The beds were not big but very comfortable. The heating was just right. Overall we loved our stay here.

Stayed 1 night for the early flight on the next day. Vintage decoration, good photo spot. Friendly staff. Walking 5min to Padditon station.

Fantastically convenient for Paddington station, and all the amenities and transport connections to be found there. It's built in what seems to be several Victorian townhouses, so don't be surprised if there are a few stairs. But I will definitely be coming back.

I enjoyed my stay very much. The room was nice, well lit and clean. Great location and all staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again

Was fine for the price, little dated but that’s personal preference - staff very friendly

Very standard, small and average room but provided what it advertised. Main positive is closeness to Paddington Station. Was placed in room on top floor and if I had had luggage it would have been a very unpleasant experience having to carrying it up 4 very narrow stairs cases ie there is no lift!!! If you book ask for a lower floor! Clean and tidy. Would I stay again? highly unlikely unless needed the closeness to the Heathrow Express.
