The Pilgrm

The location is convenient if you're rushing to/from paddington but not suitable for light sleepers/ noise sensitive people. I requested for a quiet room in my booking and somehow got a room facing the main street, right above a bar. I wasn't able to sleep in the two nights that I stayed as there were drunk people hollering and shouting downstairs. In my first night, I asked for a room change and they were unable to accommodate. I then asked to cancel my booking for a refund and they said I couldn't since I booked through trip.com. They also said that was a quiet room already and offered me ear plugs - which I already have. They even implied that I should've read the hotel reviews more clearly since their location above a bar, hence the noise, is quite apparent. So here I am leaving an explicit review for potential guests - DO NOT STAY HERE if you value a good night's rest. Plenty of other options in zone 1 for this price (or for the same noise level, consider a hostel). The room is also tiny, which I'm sure the other reviews also cover, and there's no storage space for a light traveler like me (one cabin size luggage).

This is a really cool little hotel right next to Paddington Station. It’s a little confusing finding your correct room, but once you have located your it there’s usually a cute little pantry next-door with coffee and tea. 24 hours a day. The breakfast is really good and the coffee is excellent. I will happily stay here again. 

I stayed two days and I think there is no housekeeping (maybe u have to request). Location is strategic.

It was a pleasant stay at The Pilgrm. Checking in a easy, but remember to online check in first before you guys arrive in order to save time, else if not, you guys still need to do it at the reception during checking in. I booked the single room, and it is literally small, so you might want to consider the size of your luggage for space and not for those that prefers having ample space in room. Room doesn't come w aircondition, but you can bring up the windows for fresh air to enter. Lift is available, but it doesn't connect to all rooms, so some rooms might still need to use the cute and steep stairs, to put into your consideration, but for luggages, no worries, the staff is able to bring it to your room should you need assistance. Staff is friendly, and if you love small and cozy boutique hotels just like me, than this place is definitely for you to try! 🎉
