FOUR STARS HOTEL, Sussex Gardens, London Paddington -NO TALKING CHEAP HOTEL REVIEW- 0 Stars! AVOID

Here is a no-talking video walkthrough of the 'Four Stars' Hotel in Sussex Gardens near Paddington Station, London, UK. Single room with ensuite toilet & shower was £59 per night.

QUICK REVIEW: Note this is definitely NOT a real 4star hotel! This is a budget hotel with small rooms, soap, towel and TV included.

Unfortunately the ensuite cubicle has what appears to be black mould throughout, with little space to shower properly. The hotel is also VERY noisy, the floorboards creak in the landing by the stairwells, so if you or your neighbours are moving during the night you will definitely hear them loudly. The windows are thin with outside street noise very audible, traffic here is busy and constant throughout the night. It's a shame as these old townhouses can have a lot of charm and if renovated they could be a very attractive hotel option. This one is not.

Also note the heating is not controllable, I asked the front desk staff if they could lower it as it was extremely high and burning to the touch, making the room very clammy. He claimed the heating was the same level throughout the hotel and other guests would complain if it's lowered, however it's controllable via the manager's mobile phone and he would contact the manager to lower it and that I should open the window overnight also. I objected as I would be open to the elements with bugs and the huge amount of traffic noise on Sussex Gardens Road. He said he would contact the manager to lower the heating... Several hours later that night, the heating was still absolutely burning and was never lowered a single degree. A VERY uncomfortable and noisy night was had.

Economy hotels should still at least be clean, quiet and safe. I'm not completely sure whether all that mould is a health hazard! If you have any idea please leave a comment.

Definitely avoid. Fours Stars Hotel gets 0 stars.
