Novotel London Paddington

I would recommend staying at this new hotel, I had a pleasant stay; I was a little worried after reading some reviews on here. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. It is really convenient if you are using the tube, it was about five minutes walk from Paddington, using the rear entry/exit and this seemed a safe walk. There are restaurants, bars and a supermarket very close by. The room was a reasonable size and was immaculately presented. The stand alone shower was extremley powerful. I am not a fan of the novotel... more

This hotel has potential. We stayed for 2 nights. Reception was friendly and helpful. We had a family room for the 4 of us (girls are 10 and 12) fine but a bit tight with the sofa bed set out. 5 minutes from Paddington Station (instructions from Hotel excellent) and the bakerloo line which is only a few stops from the centre. Service in the restaurant was friendly but not very efficient, especially at breakfast time where staff were very slow to clear your plates away. Dinner service was also slow. Our girls thought the their dinner menu was... more

Can't complain about this hotel. Everything spotless and new. Staff more than helpful. 5 min walk along canal front to paddington tube station. Yes it's a bit confusing for a taxi driver but just tell him it's new and situated in Sheldon Square. Lovely breakfast which goes on til 12! Great if you've had a late night or busy day sight-seeing. I will return.

This weekend break was with my mother, childern, sister in law her autistic child and her parents. Firstly the Black Cab didnt know how to get to the hotel he hadnt even heard of the address!!! Great start! Booking in was ok, my sister in law had booked online weeks before the break and had asked for 3 rooms together or close by so she could have help if needed with her son. Well you couldnt have got them farther apart we were on the 3rd floor she was on the 6th floor and her parents on the 9th floor......... The Sunday... more

Firstly the black taxi driver didnt know where or how to get to the Hotel. When arriving to reception to book in my family party of eight staying in three rooms...was told that only one room was ready.(I had requested early check in) and to be close to one another as I have a Autistic child and may have needed some assistance. We were given 306 (which was the room that was ready)and told the other room numbers as 608 and 610. I thought at least two rooms were together. When we eventually came back to check in to the other two... more

My wife and I stayed on business for 6 nights, overall the stay was acceptable but there were some problems than can mostly be attributed to the hotel just opening. Location: Good location near Paddington Station. The easiest way to get to the hotel is to go along Platform 8 (next platform over from the Heathrow Express) and up the ramp, follow the path until you get outside then turn left (signposted Novotel) and follow the wall along the canal, turn left at starbucks and go to the rear of the pedestrian area to find the... more

We stayed at the Novotel in London Paddington recently and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Check-in was straightforward and we were allocated our room within minutes. The room is large for London standards (see photos) and VERY comfortable. Breakfast is in the form of a buffet, full english included so you can choose what you want. Facilities include a pool, sauna, steam room and small gym - all included at no extra charge. The hotel is about 10 mins walk from Paddington Station - turn left out of the station past the Brunel... more

Stayed at the hotel with my other half for a birthday weekend get away.Compared to the last hotel we stay in in London this was gorgeous with one problem it is difficult to find!We ended up treking around half of the local area and then found our way to the back of the hotel where we bumped into the manager who gladly walked us around to the hotel reception.If you are coming from Paddington station you need to go over Bishops Bridge Road and halfway along the bridge there is a turning into Sheldon Square.Go into this turning and the hotel is... more

Great hotel only open 3 days when we arrived. Very quiet even tho close to trains, busy road and planes. Only about five to ten minutes walk from Paddington station. Very good size room with two large beds. Seperate toilet from bathroom. Everything you would need. Very light and airy hotel nice surroundings even a mini Sainsburys a few minutes away and a good pub. Booked direct as this proved cheapest.

Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in October. It's new, and I was the first person to stay in the room I was allocated. I didn't like it at all - for a start, it is very one-dimensional and there is zero character to this hotel. It has the personality of a housewife on prozac. It has all the charm of staying in an office building. Take one callcenter workstation, add an ensuite, 2 sheets and a pillow and you'll have recreated the souless Mcbusiness hotel that is the Novotel London Paddington. Hate # 1 - Where the [--] is it ?
