“Astoria Hotel, a family-run establishment for over 30 years, occupies a Neo-Georgian building near Paddington Station, providing convenient access to London's transport network. The hotel is within half a mile of Hyde Park, making city exploration straightforward, and offers a free grocery shopping service, which I found to be a genuinely helpful touch. While rooms can be compact, the location and family atmosphere present a practical, value-conscious option.”

Basic Stay with Some Drawbacks

missing closetmoldy shower

The room lacked a long closet. I had nowhere to store my clothes (not great, I must say). The beds felt a bit small for two people. the shower's hygiene was questionable. The silver cover over the drain was loose, and there was black mold underneath. It was okay, but not the best experience.

I found onsite parking very convenient at a reasonable daily rate. The receptionist was friendly and helped me find a bigger space when I had trouble with the smaller parking bay. The location is perfect. It's a plus.

The beds were not the most comfortable. But it was not a big issue.
