“This hotel wins on location; proximity to Paddington Station makes zipping around London effortless. The Victorian bones of the building lend a certain charm, and I appreciate that they offer meeting spaces for business travelers looking for an alternative to larger, more impersonal venues. Considering its address, it's a solid, reliable choice.”
