The location is great,a ten minute walk from paddington. The neighborhood offers a lot of markets nearby which is rare for central london-saves a penny. The staff was nice and kept our luggage before check in,after check out which is a big plus. The street of the accommodation has a nice vibe and is safe, quiet .It s got a good value for the price,being clean,central,offering breakfast,a lift.

Quite a small bathroom,narrow corridors;could use more sockets,maybe a small fridge(the room overall).I believe there was only soap available as toiletries. The breakfast can become repetitive, questionable coffee.

Convenient location, close to a subway station. Nice staff members, especially those at the breakfast hall that went above and beyond to serve the guests. Cozy and clean room.

The room had no A/C, something that I knew when I booked, but It's way too hot during summer. At least a fan would have been a good idea, But that's ok, it's not a big deal. The things that surprised me negatively are: the lack of mini-fridge in the room to keep water bottles cool in this hot weather and the lack of bath amenities, specifically shampoo and body wash, things that are essential in all the hotels of all categories.

The hotel is located in Paddington, and about 5-8min walking distance from the Paddington tube station (we also noticed a bus connection to Stansted airport, although we did not use that). The rooms are small but equipped with everything needed. During nights, it was a bit noisy if the window is left open, but this was really unproblematic. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Supplies forgotten or needed can be bought from many shops nearby, and there is also plenty of places to get all sorts of food at all times of the day. The hotel itself was offering a really good value for money balance.

The breakfast buffet was really small; hardly more than a few pieces of toast, butter, jam, ham and cheese, coffee, tee and cereals. Yoghurt was not every day available, and fruits were also a bit missed by us (likewise cocoa); perhaps perfect for people who are not "big eaters" in the morning, but can be a bit limited for children's taste. But as mentioned in the positive comments, there are places to buy almost everything within a few metres from the hotel.

It was our third city break in London and we chose this hotel every time. It is a nice hotel within walking distance of Hyde Park and Oxford Street with small rooms but comfy, warm and clean. In every room there is one European socket so for a family it is best to bring another European plug adapter. Breakfast is basic - ham, cheese, boiled eggs, butter, toast, cereal, milk, coffee and water, no pastry, no yogurt, no fruits, no vegetables. It is the same every day and it is served between 7:30 and 8:45 - but everything is fresh and the coffee is good. The area is quiet and safe, with nice streets and beautiful old buildings turned into hotels. My daughter and I returned late every night and we encountered no problems. The staff is ok, not very friendly but ok - we were polite, they were polite. The hotel is really close to Paddington Station (we walked every time) where you can take the metro to Stanstead Express or National Express coach (A6) which goes directly to Stanstead Airport.

All in all, it is a nice hotel for people who are not very fussy.

When I arrived I was disappointed by the very basic hotel room. However, I quickly changed my mind.The hotel is basic but clean with comfortable beds and the breakfast was absolutely fine. Plenty of hot water , and we had a quiet room on the first floor with a double door to block noise. We could also leave our cases after check out. Coffee was available just off reception but could not be taken to your rooms which is good for a budget hotel. The hotel is also reasonably central for the main sites. I read some bad reviews about the staff but I found them to be very pleasant and willing to help. They didn't have long conversations but I find that normal when busy. The small lady at breakfast was very smiley and welcoming even when so busy as was the day receptionist. This is a good budget hotel and good for a one or two night stay to visit the sites. Personally I'd like more comfort if I stayed longer, but if I was younger I'd have happily stayed a week.

The rooms were basic , but all the necessities for a comfortable short stay.

The location was good relative to access to the tube station /Paddington, Restaurants and general shopping area. I must note that the faculty was very clean and serviced daily. The harsh pungent detergents which are used by many London hotels seems not used here.

I think and have gotten used to having soap available for showering provided by the hotel but only hand washing soap as available so body soap had to be purchased. We always carry out own toothpaste as standard practice. I think that small safes in each room would be a good addition for passports and other valuables.

Such a pleasant stay! It was only a short stay so i wanted somewhere with a great location for easy travel and nothing too expensive. I booked my stay just two days prior to my journey and got such a good price. I booked a two night stay as i only came to London for a concert so I was after convenience and the best possible price. I did think as the location is so great (5 minute walk from Paddington Station) and the prices the lowest in that area that it probably won’t be that nice as some hotels are known for just selling the location and not really caring too much about the comfort of their guests once in the hotel but i was so impressed! The hotel is located in a street full of hotels, one after another, so the area felt nice and safe as there was staff on desks in every single hotel you walk past 24/7. I had a single bed room which was on the smaller side floorplan wise but as the space was so well organised it felt perfectly fine. The bathroom was also clearly newly renovated and everything was so clean and nice! I was also so surprised to find out that breakfast was included in my price (you can tell how last minute i booked as didn’t even read all the details) and when coming back from my day trip on day one, my room was serviced, which again isn’t always the case. I stayed in boutique hotels in the area that are double the walk away from the station and they charge extra for the room to be serviced on top of their alreayd higher prices. Staff were so nice and helpful from the moment I arrived and even prior to arrivial as i had a couple of questions regarding arrival so i message via the Booking.com all and they replied to my message within the hour. I was even able to leave my luggage there after checking out as i had about 4 hours waiting time before catching my train home and got to stroll around London hands free whilst bridging this time! And speaking of arrival and departure - Check in was 2 pm and check out was 11 am which is amazing!

The only tiny thing i can think of was the bathroom fan - It just turned itself on randomly during the day and night even without the key card being in the electricity card slot. I couldn’t see a fuse or switch for it either but it wasn’t a big enough thing to ask staff about as i once closing the bathroom door you couldn’t really hear it. If I would’ve asked staff they probably would’ve solved it for me so this is definitely not meant as a negative comment.

Everybody so helpful either guys in reception during day/night (different shifts) or on breakfast in the morning! Everyone is so nice with us, especially team which served us in the morning- I guess they are either Greek or Albanian - women there are so careful, smile and attentive to the details , keep everything clean and food always refilled! Thank you for our pleasure in London!

Despite the 3-star status of the hotel, it left only positive feelings. I stayed at Orchard Hotel for 3 days in June. The check-in process was very easy, and the reception area looks better in real life than in the photos. The room was clean and well-lit, and the new, efficient lift quickly brought me to my floor. The room was tiny but spotless and well-equipped, providing everything you might need: towels, a desk with a chair, a wardrobe with hangers, a hairdryer, and a couple of glasses for water. While you do need to bring your own shampoo and shower gel, I was prepared for that. The reception is only open during certain hours, but the hotel itself operates 24 hours a day. Despite returning very late (4 AM) each night, there was always someone available to open the door for me. My room had a tiny window with a view of the backyards, and it was very comfortable for sleeping. The area around the hotel is clean, safe, and conveniently located. Although I didn't attend the hotel breakfasts due to early hours and mediocre reviews, I found a nearby M&S food shop just 5 minutes away, where I always had my breakfast. Lovely! I would definitely stay here again.

The room is way too small but still very compfy, pricy in summer

The stuff was amazing. Everyone in reception was super helpful. Special shout out to the ladies who who worked at the breakfast room and cleaning ladies that made us feel at home, always welcoming and accommodating with warm smiles! And they knew Greek!

We stayed while the weather was very hot which I understand it is not a usual thing for London. I wish the window could open a bit more or there was a table fan for room.
