Railton House (Paddington) — Hotel in London

I stayed for more than 2 months at Railton. It was a great experience for me. I enjoyed a lot while staying there. Firstly, Location is amazing. For instance, nearly all the museums are just walking distance. Central line and other underground lines are just 5-10 mins far away. there are more than 5 24 hours bus passed 5 mins away. Secondly, It was very clean. All common areas had been sanitised 2-3 times per day. They were so careful to follow government guidelines. They provided some quarantine packages that enough for 15 days quarantine if u come from restricted countries. Thirdly, All stuff was friendly although covid restrictions. You can talk to them, share them and befriend them. I know this is not the biggest pro's if you stay just 1-2 nights. But If you are new in the city like me that was great, especially in lockdown times, their friendship might be substantial. Lastly, Prices are very very very affordable. If you are below than 29 it is very very very very affordable. I am just missing my London days, such as portobello market trips, hyde park walking, the little Venice sightseeing. All of them were 5 mins close to me when...

Firstly, a bit of context is required.||||After sercuring a new employment opportunity in London, I needed to suddenly move to the city. I opted to stay in 5 or 6 LHA hostels across the citys centre. All of them were unorgnaised, unclean and generally unpleasant places to stay as the staff simply didn't care.||||Then I checked into Railton House and was immediatley met with lovely staff. Over my time there, I learned how they run the building and it makes so much sense as a resident. The communciation between them and the residents is fantastic, they are hard workers and are always quick and efficient to resolve any issues you have. All areas regularly cleaned. Nice garden/outdoor area at the back. Reception open all day with a helpful night porter on duty during nights.||||5 minutes from Paddington and 5 minutes from Lancaster Gate station means you have several options to get into the centre quickly. If you work nights you have easy options for buses home.||||Overall, I can strongly reccommend staying here if you need temporary accomodation.||||Sending my best to the manager and team at Railton House, thanks again for...

Time for an update review!

So, Railton House has been recently refurbished and now it's looking better than ever before.

Rooms: bright and airy, with cute wall shelving units, proper long and thick curtains, modern wardrobes with doors that don't slam, bedside units and there's even a mini-fridge in every room for all your cold drinks!

Facilities: apart from refreshed and repainted toilets and kitchens, most shower rooms were built from scratch and now sport brand new, modern and roomy shower cabins.

Common areas: premise has been thoroughly repainted inside, with all carpets replaced.

Internet: super fast, secured Internet access (100Mbit Wi-Fi/1Gbit LAN - Ethernet sockets for each bed for those more demanding) so you can stream, download and upload without limits.

What hasn't changed is price-to-value, central location and the professionalism of the staff and management.

I've been here for quite some time now and I'm planning to stay for a...
