4/10 Fair

Dirty room!
Kristin, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms were relatively smaller and over priced, there were no tea making facilities in room or common area, the TV had no signal. Shower pan was flooded when having shower and the hose was leaking at the shower head and hose interface. It is the customer's responsibility to inform the Hotels.com website of any issues experienced otherwise these issues shall continue for future customers at the Craven Hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely wonderful! Situated in a beautiful, great location, near transportation, numerous dining options. My favorite aspect of it is that it’s near Hyde park!

Nothing to like about. Just cheap. Premier Inn was right beside Paddington for almost same price.

The receptionist was really nice but the rooms are very small and mouldy. The beds are weak and there were stains on the walls and ceilings.

You should not rate this as 3 star property. At the best this is comparable to a motel. The room was extremely small

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience. Great area. Great service

Nice people. Great Area. Accomodations were lovely. Communicative staff and very helpful and accomodating. This place let us check in speedily, check on us throughout the stay and the facility was nice enough.
Cassandra, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms aren’t just dirty, they are actually filthy. Tried to change rooms, but the second room was just as filthy, including the bed sheets. It was obvious that the only thing that had been done was emptying the bins. A large hole in the wall was, believe it or not, covered by two A3 peices of paper. Luckily we barely stayed in the room. The only thing that is positive is that the location of the hotel is close to Paddington stadion in case you come by train from Heathrow, and Lancaster gate Underground is fairly close to Oxford Circus. But this does not change the fact that this is the absolute worst hotel i have ever stayed at. Stay away, the low price is definetely not worth it!
Arnfinn, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location but toilet and washbasin to improve

A very small room but centrally located in Paddington which is a very big advantage and a few minutes walk from the Underground station at Paddington and also Direct connection to the London Heathrow. The toilet as well as wash basin are made where it’s both very difficult to use.
Alexander job, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was not cleaned properly- there is drink bottles and cups and trash under the bed and behind the headboard. Hot water takes 5 min to start, no floor towel for the bathroom so you come out of the shower to wet tiles, heating cranked up to maximum so we had to have the window open all night as you can't reach the gauge to close the radiator behind headboard, mattresses way too soft to sleep on so you just sink in, poor quality pillow and carpet looked like it hasn't been vacuumed in a while. No glass provided so you have to either buy water or drink from your hand over the sink, shower too small and hight not adjustable, no hairdryer, only small pouch shampoo provided. Will never stay there again. For the price they didn't even provide essential.
Valerie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, 5 min walk to paddington station and Hyde park,lots of places to eat within a few mins walk,room small but for the price it was ok
Andrew, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing.

Room grubby stains on walls pillows stained lift dirty damp smell in room. Unable to open blind or window. Bed uncomfortable left with back pain. Shower dirty foul smelling unable to use. Staff indifferent. On the plus side location good lots of places to eat lots of pubs and shops. Walking distance to popular attractions if you are up for walking mile or two or Paddington st half a mile.
Sylvia, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

2/10 Poor

Lots Of Problems , I asked about Leaving suitcases they said I had To Book which was going to Cost £25, This is Ridiculous Most Hotels will look after Luggage with No Extra Charge , The Room itself was shocking it was Supposed to be Delux -It was Nothing More than a Dingy Bedsit , No Tea making Facilities , No Remote Control for TV , bathroom was So Small You Couldnt use the Toilet without Hitting the Sink , There was a Heater Pump outside the Bedroom Window Making Sleep Imposssible , It Felt Like some of the Floor Boards were broken as they moved when walked on , This Hotel Needs Inspecting

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.
