Albro House Hotel

Very friendly owner, location is short walk from Paddington Station, very very convenient!! Rooms are cosy and comfy, only con was no lift, so if you get a room on the above floors, will need to lug the luggage up the slightly narrow staircase. Overall, will definitely stay there again my next visit!

Nice little hotel, great situation, close to Paddington station & Hyde Park. We stayed for one night as attending BST Hyde Park. Room was on very top floor, so do check when booking as quite a hike up there! But room was clean, shampoo & soap provided & bed was comfy. It was hot, but small fan provided which was a god-send. Breakfast was right down in basement and very wide variety of foods offered. It would of been easier to have a menu tbh, as the owner simply asked 'what do you want?' Which kind of leaves you flumoxed! You pay for the location, but compared to other hotels around there, it was very a reasonably priced budget hotel. Don't expect the Ritz, if you ain't paying for it!

I stayed here for work late last year. On the up-side it was cheap and pretty well located. The property was a little run down / budget, the staff pleasant enough to deal with in person. The business markets itself as a hotel but it seems to be more of a guest house over many floors or a large converted ex-residential property - like many similar businesses in the vicinity. My room was small but sufficient; right at the top of the building at the end of a fairly narrow set of stairs. Those with mobility issues might be wise to clarify the location of rooms before booking. Upon leaving my impression was pretty much as you'd expect; not the finest place to stay but there were no dramas and it was reasonable value. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worst once back in the office and attempted to secure the usual VAT receipt for my expenses records. After this paperwork was respectfully requested from the owner he became extremely evasive; at first pleading ignorance as to what was required in a VAT receipt before ultimately resorting to bizarre and childish insults towards me. He even claimed I was threatening him with blackmail for suggesting that *********** (through whom the room had been booked) should be involved if, for whatever reason he couldn't provide the documentation I'd requested. After this experience I'm not keen to deal with this individual again and couldn't in good faith recommend his business.
