Shakespeare Hotel

My wife and I had a very comfortable stay at the Shakespeare. Check-in was smooth and Constantinos was very helpful and assigned us a room on the first floor (so not too many stairs) and a balcony, which we had requested if it were possible.The room was small but it was clean, it looked recently painted and decorated, and we had a lovely view of Norfolk Square. Bathroom was also on the small side but it was manageable, and the shower was hot and had good water pressure. Nice, big flat-screen TV and comfortable beds. Even though we faced the street it was quiet at night and sleeping was no problem. We were a little disappointed that the waffle-maker was not working during the two breakfasts we had, because we had read about how guests had complimented the fresh waffles. Location was ideal, just 3 or 4 minute's walk to Paddington rail/underground stations, shops,and pubs. On our last day, Constantinos held our luggage so we could take a short walk to the Little Venice area, which was very scenic. I would stay here again.... ++

This is the 3rd year in a row I’ve stayed here and it is perfectly located especially for Paddington Station. Staff are very friendly and this year I was delayed due to severe weather at home and they kindly held my room for me. It’s small but cosy, but I am only there at night so for me it’s perfect, I had s britrail Pass to travel all over England and this hotel was my home base for 3 weeks. I look forward to returning next year.... ++

Found the hotel to be very good, staff were very friendly and helpful. Was is basic but very clean and comfortable, family room had plenty of space. (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 baby) breakfast was good. Location excellent for touring around london sights.... ++
