Bob W Hyde Park

Nice The apartment hotel is conveniently located about 2-3 blocks from Paddinton station. The area is super quiet and there are a lot of good food and pub options. Connecting to central london are super easy as well.

You can do better The 'Pocket' sized room is impossibly small. The room was up four flights of stairs - with no lift. You are provided a code for the front door and then have to use an online portal to open an interior code and then the room door (via swiping your phone) What happens if you have sub-standard internet service? Our room door wouldn't lock at one stage. I waited 2 mins 30 secs for someone to pick up the phone - they couldn't solve it. Thankfully my wife contacted the hotel via What's App and this was solved quickly. What happens if you don't have What's App? It costs 30 GBP to have the shoe-box of a room cleaned. You can't simply turn on the television - it requires fiddling around with WIFI and a password - which is provided by the hotel. We couldn't get this to connect so gave up. It's a great location near Paddington Railway Station - put the effort in and find something better.

Great place to stay Great location and excellent service. Room was clean and well maintained.

I loved it but I also didn't I did and I didn't enjoy my stay here but the location is excellent. I had a front room with a lovely view of the opposite tree lined street. The building and room are very modern. The bathroom is tiny, and luckily it was only me so I could shower with the door open to let hot air out. The shower base also needed plunging so the tub would fill up which wasn't pleasant. I also had issues with the tv working, which wasn't a huge deal but late at night some nights I wanted to chill out. The bed was passable but not the most comfortable. I could hear the person in the room next door and their phone alarm going off and message tones which was annoying sometimes. I could also hear the elephants upstairs. Like most buildings in the UK the walls are thin and insulation just isn't a thing. I had no issues getting in with the Salto lock system except one night I lost one nights accomodation at the cost of $288 AUD because my phone was stolen on Oxford street on July 22nd and because they have the no key system, I couldn't get back into my room so that was a waste of money and I was not happy about that. I would prefer a refund for that. Overall, good location and pleasant stay but if I found comparable location at a better price I'd probably stay somewhere else.

Great place, I would definitely stay here again (or at other Bob W locations). Room was small, but perfectly fine and space was well utilized. Very clean at arrival. Kitchen had the essentials (kettle, fridge, microwave, few plates, mugs, glasses, cutlery, bottle/can-opener), but was not cluttered. British summer was on its best behaviour, so of course it was a bit hot in the room, but a fan was provided and it was managable by shutting out the heat during the day and airing out during night. Location is good, walking distance to Paddington, Hyde Park, cozy and safe-feeling neighbourhood for a female solo traveller. Maybe not the quietest place ever, but perfectly acceptable for a central big-city location (ear plugs are provided, but I did not need them). My room needed a fix from a handy man, which coincided with my arrival and I had to wait a bit to get into the room. A Bob member was there to ensure the fix was done and room was re-cleaned and I got a goodie bag full of extra snacks, gadgets etc for the inconvenience.

I was a little sceptical, but overall was very pleasantly surprised. If the value and destination is right. Dont hesitate 👍
