The Paramount Hotel

The only good thing about this hotel is it wasn’t that far from Earls Court underground. The reception is a cupboard under the stairs. To get to my room I had to go out into the back garden, down some stairs outside to my bedroom door. Very little room, just enough room for the bed and the door to open. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

The decor is a bit too quirky. My room was cluttered with odd furniture and everything seemed a depressing dark brown. The provision of complimentary coffee etc was sloppy and minimal - just Nescafe and sugar - no mil or teabags or decaf drinks etc. Most seriously, the bedding was uncomfortable - thin blankets that slipped off, rather than a nice soft warm duvet. Most annoyingly, the complimentary toiletries were just a bar of soap - no shower gel or shampoo. I would have packed these but you take it for granted that some things of that nature will be offered. Overall there is an air of indifference to customer satisfaction. given the amount of competition in the immediate area, this hotel really needs to up its game.

hello everyone! Do you know Padington Bear? Well this is your hotel. The hotel is in a good area, a little far from the center but with the metro 20 minutes from everything interesting. 15 minutes away you have Fred's café for a good breakfast. supermarket relatively close. Returning to the hotel, the shower has good pressure, windows with views of the park. but the bed is narrow. If you go as a couple you may fall. because? Because you are not Padington Bear and remember, this is his hotel. It does not have an elevator, it has stairs and in the middle of the hallway there are paintings and mirrors. In a mirror, if you repeat Padington 3 times, the teddy bear looks like you at night and makes you your tax return. As in most hotels, they no longer do daily cleaning, but they miss a deeper cleaning between guest changes. The treatment is very good, very friendly and they let you keep your backpack even when checking out. That's why I give it a 6.5. If I had a bed just a little bigger so you wouldn't fall over it would be 7.5. Now, if you are Padington Bear who is reading this, it is for you. Y ahora, para nosotros jugadores... hola a todos! conocéis al osito padington? pues este es su hotel. el hotel está en una buena zona, un pelín alejado del centro pero con metro a 20 min de todo lo interesante. a 15min tienes el café de Fred para un buen desayuno. supermercado relativamente cerca. volviendo al hotel, la ducha tiene buena presión, ventanas con vistas a parque. pero la cama es estrecha. si vas en pareja posiblemente te caigas. por que? porque tú no eres el osito padington y recuerda, este es su hotel. no tiene ascensor, tiene escaleras y entre medias del pasillo cuadros y espejos. en un espejo si repites padington 3 veces se te parece el osito por la noche y te hace la declaración de la renta. como en la mayoría de hoteles ya no se hacen limpieza diaria pero se echa de menos una limpieza más profunda entre cambio de huéspedes. el trato es muy bueno, muy simpáticos y te dejan guardar la mochila aun haciendo el checkout. por eso le pongo un 6.5. si tuviera una cama solo un poco más grande para no caerte sería de 7.5. ahora bien, si tú quién está leyendo esto eres el osito padington, es para ti.

It’s true when they say “you get what you pay for”, although in this case you would at least expect basic amenities to be working.. a shower with no holder and blocked drain, topped off with the fact that the kettle plug wouldn’t reach the socket unless you used it off the floor, really did really set the tone for the room. Staff were polite and the location is great, but not much else can be said.

I booked a room through *********** at a certain rate, and was informed this morning by the hotel that the price was incorrect, and that I had to respond within two hours to confirm the new pricing or else I would lose the reservation. This is high season; the hotel canceled my reservation because they realized they could charge a higher price. What a scam. Cannot believe business practices like this are allowed to exist in the UK.
