The
hotel has 60 guestrooms, all of the accommodations are equipped with
colour TV, direct dial telephone, complimentary tea & coffee facilities,
central heating and hairdryer.
The breakfast room in the basement and the breakfast served is particularly
well regarded by most guests.
Benchmarked against other budget accommodation in the vicinity,
the Cardiff B&B is not the cheapest, but is regarded as offering
good value. There are quite a view 2
and 3 star budget hotels in Paddington that deep discount most
of the year with rates well below that of the Cardiff B&B.
Typical
Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed
at the Cardiff B&B Hotel. They are independent viewpoints and
not necessarily the view of this web site.
"We stayed at the hotel for three nights. The location is ideal,
it's close to/round the corner from Paddington station (train to Heathrow)
and the underground station where you can take the tube directly to
some of the main attractions like Mdm Tussauds. Hyde Park and Oxford
Street are walking distance away. And even though it's close to a
busy road and a train station it's fairly quiet. The
rooms are not massive, the showers are especially on the small side,
but we were out most of the time so that didn't bother us.
The staff was very helpfull and kind. The breakfast was good. We enjoyed
our stay and will definitely come back!"
"Brilliant
location, very close to paddington underground, and a five/ten minute
walk to Hyde Park-fabulous for star spotting! we went on boxing
day, so were able to see the Christmas German market at Hyde park,
which i would highly recommend. The Cardiff Hotel was easy to find,
yet surprisingly in a beautiful area for the money we paid. When
we were given our keys i was dismayed to find a set of ladders in
the room and plaster board on our sheets, with ceiling tiles laid
in the bathroom. I asked the reception if they could do anything
about this, so it was all cleaned and spotless after 10 minutes.
The only downfall for this hotel was the 'breafast' menu were were
given whilst staying there, very bad food, and we had to go to a
nearby restaurant for breakfast. Overall an amazing stay, would
recommend it to anyone, good location with a few local pubs and
restaurants nearby. ."
"This is a budget hotel in a very good location 5 minutes to
Paddington Station. Lots of nice eateries and cafes close by. Hotel
staff were really pleasant and helpful. Breakfast, included in the
room price is a good start to the day, but can become a bit monotonous.
Rooms are very basic and really small. They could really do with
a revamp. Just a shelf in the tiny bathroom and a few hooks on walls
and behind doors for coats etc would be a great help. Bathrooms,
apart from being tiny, are also really shabby."
"Stayed in the Cardiff hotel for four nights in May. I was
surprised to find a good clean although small room in such a convenient
location. Close to Paddington station. A huge hearty breakfast and
staff who could speak english was a big bonus. Would stay again."
"The
Cardiff isn't a wonderful hotel, but it is good value. I have stayed
many times, generally using it before catching morning flights from
Heathrow (15 minutes away, every 15 minutes, on the Heathow Express).
The rooms are smallish but fine. The place is clean. The staff are
friendly and the breakfast is very good. There are loads of pubs
and restaurants nearby. It's a stone's throw from Paddington Station
and the underground. All tourist sites are within easy reach"
"Great
value hotel in a brilliant location, just a couple of minutes walk
from Paddington but on a nice quiet square. I was on the top floor
(lots of stairs!) but the room was clean and comfortable with everything
I needed. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Rooms are small, plumbing
a bit noisy - if you're after luxury this isn't it. But if you want
a great value, individual hotel this is spot on."
"The room is functional, the bathroom is small and there are
no elevators. So basically, it's a typical 2 star European hotel.
The
location is great. The free breakfast was nice and the price was
right. Staff were friendly. Paddington is a short walk and it was
no problem with street noise at night. Would definitely stay again
on my next trip to London."
