Hotel Boulevard - London

3.4

The main positive comment that I can make about this hotel is that it is conveniently located near to Paddington Station and was easy to find. The room was also clean and I had sufficient towels. The room was also quiet. On the negative side, however, the staff were not very friendly and the room was tiny, especially the shower-room. The most annoying part of my stay was breakfast. The hotel seemed to be having building work going on in the reception area so guests were given a token to use at either McDonalds or the restaurant near by. It was assumed I knew the breakfast procedure, and the staff did not bother to explain it until I asked. I chose to go to the restaurant near by as it was closer and it was raining heavily outside. The meal we were given was dreadful - 1 cup of tea/coffee, 1 slice of toast and 1 English Muffin and some jam. No fruit juice and no cereal options. One guest complained about the lack of food, and was told that was all they were entitled to. This hotel was a disappointment and not value for money.

I needed a hotel close to Paddington station where I could crash for a few hours before my train. This place was great. Terrific location, breakfast provided at a nearby joint (basic breakfast), close to everything and simple, but clean room. The only downside for me was the ventilation in the room. It seemed a bit musty. Overall the right place for the value. One additional warning: the rooms are tiny, but organized in a very Ikea type way so it didn't feel horrible.

8.4

The room was clean and comfortable with a Danish style interior. London rooms are small, so that was expected. Just 2 blocks from Paddington Station and a quick walk to Kensington garden-very handy. The staff went out of their way to assist us several times. We even had a coffe maker and a flatscreen tv in the room! Had a great stay.

4.0

Generally clean. The room was barely large enough for a single bed, let alone the double pushed against one wall. Nowhere to put 2 cases. Space at foot of the bed 50cm. At side 40cm. Sit on the toilet to brush your teeth. To pass one another in the room, one person has to stand in the ensuite. You get the picture. Price advertisied as B&B. Breakfast by voucher at a very nice restaurant nearby allowed for 1 slice of toast, 1 half warm crumpet and cup of tea.

7.3

Ottima la posizione dell'Hotel vicino alla metro e al treno per l'aereoporto di Hetrow, colazione compresa, stanze sempre pulite molto piccole ma ideali per chi sta pochi giorni, e sopratutto per una coppia giovane che vuole vivere al meglio una città come Londra. E' stato molto utile leggere i commenti di altri ospiti che prima di noi avevano alloggiato li

7.7

Very adequate hotel for price and location. Very quiet for central London. Only real minus was size of room - especially bathroom area. But at that price we would certainly stay there again.

8.5

Arrived earlier than check in and was given a room straight away, which was a great bonus! Rooms are quite small but all you need is there! Very clean modern rooms with dressing table and hairdryer! Tea and coffee along with kettle provided within the rooms, bathroom is small but has everything you need with very new refurbisments and towels provided. The only thing I would fault about the room is that the shower is not overly warm. We were there for the weekend and each morning our beds were made and fresh towels were provided! We thought the rooms were perfect for the weekend they were so clean and tidy. There was construction work going on next door to the hotle but we were never disturbed by it! We were at the back of the hotel and heard no noise during the night. After checking out we were able to leave our suitcase at the hotel till we were heading to the airport. It is ONLY 5 minutes max walk away from the underground and has many restaurants, take aways, pubs, shops and newsagents near by. We loved staying in this hotel and would definately go back for a weekend break as it is a good price for a nice pleasant stay.

9.3

Rooms are very SMALL but so nice, so clean, so quiet and so beautiful with all comfort that finally you forget the size. The location is very close to Paddington station and so the subway and taxi station are very close as well as cyber coffee and Steak House.

4.2

Our stay at the Hotel Boulevard was made unpleasant because we could not get any assistance from the staff or front desk regarding two simple matters - heat and towels. We asked four times over our two day stay, and each time we were told the towels were coming, and then we were told we just couldn't have any, and the woman at the desk wasn't sure what the problem was. A small matter really, but we really wanted to shower after our long flight. Our room had no heat, until we badgered the front desk several times and then they turned it on. The staff with one exception, was aloof and made no effort to assist us. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone, which is a shame because it could have been a pleasant stay if the staff have been more responsive. The rooms are small but clean and bright, and the hotel is very close to the tube. But if you need anything, like heat in January or towels, you may be on your own.

6.4

Located 5 minutes walk from Padington metro station. The rooms were really small, bathroom was as small as that in the aeroplanes. Staff was very informative.

6.8

On one occasion despite Venere confirmed booking, hotel had no reservation as overbooked Very inconvenient but they did find me a local alternative SAn Marco excellent local Italian restaurant

4.7

Rooms are very small, they remind on ship cabins, but everything is there and it works. Most of the former reviewers said the rooms are very clean - unfortanetely this is not the case. Lots of old dust under the bed. Many similar hotels nearby (but not on Venere) offer cheaper accomodation.

8.2

nice and clean hotel with very good price, small rooms but clean and quite new interieur.

8.4

Ottima posizione logistica per girare Londra, anche a piedi. Metro comunque a due passi. Albergo davvero pulito, personale cortese, colazione dignitosissima, prezzo contenuto.

2.6

Imagine this: When opening the door to the hotel room you have 1 square meter to move around in. To your right you find the bathroom where you will bang your head into a shelf if you lean forward when sitting on the toilet, and when brushing your teeth you will have to stand outside the bathroom to lean down to the sink. The towel heater will not work and when showering the whole bathroom floor will get wet. On two sides of the bed you have no more than 50 cm to move around in, and this is also the space where you will have to keep your luggage... The bed itself was a spiral spring bed with spirals digging into our bodies. And let’s not forget the quilt! Instead of filling the double sized quilt cover with a double sized quilt, there was a single sized quilt stuffed in there horizontally and then a rug to keep our feet warm! Whenever some other guests are entering or leaving their rooms you will hear the doors slamming like it was your own door! The breakfast consisted of coffe/hot chocolate/tea, juice, milk, cornflakes, toast, butter, jam and croissants. Boulevard did not offer an option to buy English breakfast or any other form of hot meal. The room we got was located in the basement with no other view than a small area of concrete walls. We had no idea what kind of weather it was outside until we actually got out! The only positive thing about Boulevard was that there was always hot water in the shower, but then again, the pressure of the water kept fluctuating… This is not a hotel we would recommend to any of our friends or relatives, there are far better hotels, for the same amount of money, in London.

6.5

wow, this place was MUCH better than the website shows and reviews allude to. the meager photo provided of the one bedroom online is outdated and totally incorrect. my room was super modern and have a beautiful Swedish design feel with light wood, shiny metal fixtures, all amenities in miniature. YES, it is small, but I've stayed in smaller in Rome, Americans get over your concept of space, this is a European city centuries old. it's naive of the one reviewer to be so upset about that; he's clearly not a well traveled person to lands with ancient histories. London IS very expensive, and this place is priced well for it. we can thank Bush for grossly sinking the value of the US dollar. I had a cute view on the upper floor of London rooftops and a flower box. small, but comfy and cozy, and a terrific location. this site DOES need to correct it's map though. there are 2 exits from the underground, and the one you're more likely to use since it's bigger and has Heathrow express ticketing, is on the OPPOSITE side of the street, making the entire map backwards; deadly when trying to find this place. I walked in the opposite direction, and with so many hotels there and Norfolk plc's st's and way's, even locals weren't sure where it was. but Londoner's were super willing to help, and I managed after 40 minutes (it's only about an 8 minute walk if you don't get lost). summary, I was here to overnight from Gatwick to Heathrow, and I'd easily stay here again for a short stay! a longer one, or with another person, maybe I'd try finding a slightly bigger place if the price was right.

6.7

This is a great hotel, if you dont mind the stairs and dont spend a lot of time in the room. Breakfeast is very simple.

2.6

Only advantage is the location. That's all. No bathmat, poor breakfast, unfriendly staff, it never deserves 84 pound per night for a small single room. I will never come back to this hotel.

7.5

The hotel Boulevard was close to a train station and very convenient. Rooms were small but overall it was excellent.

7.1

ottima posizione, piccoline le stanze ma per un week end a londra è ottimo! colazione splendida...e riscaldamenti ok...il bagno è in miniatura ma con tutti i comfort...ottimo!!!

2.8

I did rely on the rating at venere which states over 7 points from 10. The room was actually the size of the bed and a few centimeters more. If one had to go to the toilet, the other one had to climb up the bed. The tiles on the floor in the bathroom were broken and I had to put a towel down not to cut my leg. The noise in the first night was terrible so that I was unable to sleep. Anyway the staff was friendly enough to give us a room in the basement the next day. That was without any problems. This room was the same size but much more quiet. Cleanliness: A few more strikes with the dust feather would have been helpful. Location is good - Paddington Station is really only a few minutes away and the bus stop is directly in front of the hotel. Staff is friendly. Breakfast is toast with butter and jam. The next time in London I really would spend more money to get a better hotel.

6.2

hôtel bien situé pour découvrir Nothinghill et Hyde Park à pied, proche d'une station de métro pour accés au centre de Londres en 5 min accueil très sympa petit déjeuner copieux mais malheureusement notre chambre était au deuxième juste en face d'un arrêt de bus 24h/24 du coup beaucoup de bruit...

5.8

STANZE PICCINE MA FUNZIONALI. BUONA PULIZIA. DIMENTICAVANO DI RIFORNIRE DI CAFFE' LA MACCHINETTA DELLA CAMERA. RUMORE ACCETTABILE. COLAZIONE BUONA PER UN ITALIANO (CAPPUCCINO, TOAST BURRO E MARMELLATA). STAFF GENTILE MA NEGLIGENTE (NON FACEVANO MAI UELLO CHE GLI CHIEDEVAMO)

8.9

Excellent value hotel. The room and bathroom were very small but you dont really need a big room when you're spending all of your time siteseeing. The room had been recently decorated and was very clean.

7.6

The rooms are very small, but it's enough if you must spent one week maximum. The tube station is not far from the hotel, you can to reach the city center in a few minutes.

6.6

First time I live in so small room, but it was funy. Surrounding good, personal very helpful.

8.2

bathroom small, washbasin very small

5.7

le stanze sono quasi dei loculi! è abbastanza pulito, ma noi non ci siamo stati molto comodi ... Non conosco altri hotel di Londra, ma non so se ci tornerei!

8.1

Everything was fine except the fact the bed linen are too small for the bed. Moreover the last night of our stay there was a fire and the man at the reception waited a lot to call the fire brigades..

5.8

The rooms are too small and we had the same breakfast for all the timing we stay in the Hotel. On the contrary the Hotel location is excellent.

7.8

The breakfast is very simple even for a continental one (just flakes w/milk, coffee, juice and toast, no cheese nor ham). Everything else is OK (location, rooms, staff etc.) Good value for your stay.

7.5

Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, stanza pulite ma piccole, buona colazione continentale (succo, burro, marmellata, toast, latte, ecc), ottimamente servita dai mezzi pubblici (spesso abbiamo usato gli autobus anzichè la metro). Aspetto negativo: la via è percorsa giorno e notte da autobus e quindi è abbastanza rumorosa. Ci tornerei senz'altro.

7.9

Le stanze sono piccoline ma confortevoli e pulite. Consigliato per periodi di rimanenza brevi!

7.6

L'hotel è esattamente come descritto sul sito internet, anche le foto sono identiche alla realtà. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è veramente buono, considerato che Londra è molto cara. Le camere sono veramente piccole e si ha qualche difficoltà di movimento, specialmente se si possiedono diversi bagagli! Anche il bagno è ridotto, in compenso la doccia è piuttosto grande (se rapportata al resto...). Nella stanza avevamo a disposizione tv al plasma, asciugacapelli, necessario per la preparazione di tè e caffè e aria condizionata regolabile. La pulizia è discreta, gli asciugamani vengono cambiati quotidianamente. Nell'hotel non c'è l'ascensore: un pò di fatica all'arrivo e alla partenza nel trascinare i bagagli dal terzo piano. In compenso, possiedono una camera (gratuita) per il deposito bagagli il giorno della partenza. La colazione è di tipo continentale (tè, caffè, latte, cioccolata calda, succo d'arancia, pane tostato caldo, burro e marmellate a volontà). Per quanto riguarda la zona dell'hotel, Paddington Station è vicinissima alla struttura, nella via passano diversi autobus comodi per il rientro serale, in quanto si fermano proprio di fronte all'hotel. Purtroppo le finestre delle stanze che si affacciano sulla via non godono della sperata tranquillità: c'è molto traffico sia diurno che notturno e le finestre non sono insonorizzate! Per quanto concerne il personale, segnaliamo il portiere del turno di notte, un signore proprio simpatico che conosce qualche parola d'italiano e sempre pronto a scambiare due parole al rientro dalla serata.

7.6

The pictures of these rooms do not adequately portray how miniscule they are!! I stayed with a friend and there was barely enough room for us to lay our suitcases side by side at the foot of the bed. In order to get from the bathroom to the suitcases, one person would have to sit on the bed to allow the other person by! The bathroom was also very small, but clean. The only great part of the room was the flat screen TV w/ satellite channels. :) The breakfast was simple, as was expected from a London B&B - coffee, OJ, cereal and toast with butter & jam. The location was very convenient to the Paddington underground and train station to the airport. We arrived unexpectedly late at night and had to take one of the night buses to Paddington - not very convenient, but much cheaper than a cab. The man at the front desk was kind enough to wait up for us to arrive and let us in close to 2 am. Overall a good value considering other, pricier options in London, but much too small if you're traveling with lots of luggage!

6.9

the room we stayed is very modern with everything you need in an 8'x8' room. You only have about 1 foot of walking space around the double bed and the bathroom is so small. If you're sitting on the toilet, you can't even lean forward as you will hit the sink that's about 12 inches by 5 inches. The shower is very claustrophobic, you can't breath. Don't drop the soap!!! Nothing around it that is decent enought to eat nor the attractions, you have to walk a good ways away. The only reason we booked this hotel was it was close to the Paddington station, cheap and the fact that we only stayed in the hotel to sleep. I'd look around for other hotels if we do come back.

8.0

Albergo pulito e ordinato, un pò (molto) piccole le stanze ma per il resto, colazione compresa, un ottimo affare. A due passi dalla stazione di Paddington con tanti locali dove mangiare nelle vicinanze.

6.6

Great location, considerably good overall value, if you look at London prices. The room was the size of the bed basically, but was ok if you don't plan to spend long weeks there. Breakfast consists of toast and jam, which is a bit simple if you look at the definition of continental breakfast. Nontheless, recommend it.

7.5

L'hotel Boulevard si presenta sobrio e accogliente.Niente fronzoli, è pulito e fornito di tutto. Le camere sono piccole, ma sufficienti per accogliere clienti di passaggio, il bagno è piccolissimo, soprattutto il lavandino, ma la doccia è normale. La colazione un po' povera, ma almeno c'è.

7.8

Chambre peu spacieuse, mais suffisante pour un séjour de courte durée (3-4 jours). La salle de bain véritablement petite. Chambre aérée & lits propre. Acceuil chaleureux, et employés serviable. Le petit déjeuner continental fut correct. Facile à trouver dans Londres. De plus était présent un arrêt de bus juste en face de l'hotêl, ce qui fut assez pratique. Nous trouvâmes un parking indiqué par l'équipe de l'hôtel, car il faut préciser que les parkings sont difficilement trouvable à Londres.

6.9

L'albergo era pulitissimo, dalla finestra della nostra camera da letto potevamo vedere il un muro eravamo a pari terra, non era molto piacevole, ma per una notte va bene. E' vicinissimo alla stazione e da li si prendono i bus per girare tutta la citta'. Noi abbiamo lasciato i bagagli in portineria per tutto il giorno per visitare la citta'.Sono stati molto gentili.Il bagno e' piccolissimo, ma gia' lo sapevamo, per lavarsi il viso ti devi quasi sederi sul water, il mio camper e' piu' spazioso:p. ma aveva la doccia separata che nn e' male!. I bagagli? meglio non averne. Tutto sommato lo consigliamo e noi ci torneremo Mary e Frank

8.6

ragazzi andateci è bello e simpatico tutto in style Ikea.la colazione è internazionale: pane marmellata caffè latte e thè e succo arancia.le stanze piccole ma cmq ci si sta bene anke xè che ci dovete fare...mascalzoni??? ci ritornerei volentieri e cmq i prezzi x Londra son quelli noi abbiamo pagato 54sterline a notte circa 38euro a testa in doppia ora i prezzi son aumentati mi pare si parli di 60 steline ma quelli son i prezzi ke trovate, a meno trovate solo catapecchie sporche e sgradite. zona ottima ragazzi xè paddington è dietro l'angolo.bar ristoranti e KFC Mcdonald e Burger King fuori dall hotel.BUS ROSSI A DUE PIANI VI PASSANO FUORI DALLA FINESTRA MENTRE FATE COLAZIONE..STUPENDO..IO SON ANCORA LA CN LA TESTA... correte xè ne vale la pena Londra Vi cambierà il modo di vedere le Cose....provare x credere... x maggiori info ziopasto@alice.it ciao Ale

9.1

E' un hotel davvero carino e pratico, a 5 minuti dal centro di londra col metrò e vicino al famoso Hyde Park.Un ottimo posto per apprezzare al meglio Londra senza spendere un capitale.

3.4

TOO SMALL ROOM AND NOT CLEAN AT ALL.

4.9

En general, el trato con los empleados ha sido bueno. Era una gente amable y servicial, sobre todo a la hora de servir el desayuno, que calificaría como lo mejor del hotel (incluye zumo, leche, tostadas recien hechas, mantequilla, mermeladas variadas y te o cafe, a esoger). En cuanto a la habitación: era mucho más pequeña de lo que se veía en la foto; la ventana no cerraba bien y, por eso, se escuchaba la calle constantemente. Había aire acondicionado que compensaba el frío que entraba por la ventana, pero hacia un poco de ruido. La limpieza de la habitación no era muy buena, ya que sólo había cambio diario de las toallas (y no de las sábanas). Además, el resto de la ropa de la cama no estaba limpio (ni el nórdico-manta, ni la colcha). El lavabo era pequeño, pero estaba limpio y bastante bien. Es el típico hotel que se coge para estar todo el día visitando la ciudad y simplemente pasas la noche y te duchas por la mañana. Lo bueno que tiene es que por la parada de metro de 'Paddington' pasan tres líneas importantes y justo en la puerta del hotel, está la parada del Bus nº 15, que recorre prácticamente todo el centro de Londres, pasando por Oxford Street, Picadilly, Westminster y St. Paul's Cathedral (entre otros) y llegando hasta la Tower of London.

7.7

Struttura spartana ma pulita, camere molto piccole, colazione sufficente.posizione eccezionale, vicino alla metro, vicinissimo il bus. Ideale per permanenze di pochi giorni

7.9

the rooms are very small, but I know before. Instead of this, the other skins are very acceptable. The employers are excellent, and ofering a good service. Also, there are very upstairs to arrive at room. The hotel is localitated in good place.

9.0

As other comments have indicated, very small rooms, but a visitor to London should be spending almost no waking hours in the room. And breakfast didn't amount to much. Better to use the nearby places in the neighborhood. And the neighborhood was great. Good access to all transport, lots of restaurants, pubs, and shops. The Boulevard was pristinely clean, staff was competent and helpful, price was right. I recommend it and will go back.

9.2

the rooms are tiny, but for 100 pounds, you can't beat it! great bargain.

8.6

Very convenient and easy to find from Paddington Rail & Underground stations. Also close and convenient to restaurants, cafes and pubs. Single room was very small but immaculate containing everything needed for a simple overnight stay. Inside and outside noise a bit intrusive (and I was in a room at the back) plus window and blind not very draught and light proof. Otherwise very happy and would use again.

9.2

Very nice place. It's the best place for a short staying in the London. Good place, close to the center, very kind person and a beautiful desk clerk who makes you happy in the mornings! :) I will come back there!

6.9

une chambre minuscule, sdb super petite mais si c'est juste pour dormir ca va très très bien. rapport qualité/prix excellent- position géographique très pratique.

7.1

Very clean and tidy rooms exept about vitality space, too much little for a small double, good breakfast, good welcoming and for the sourroundings maybe the next time i'll book a large double!

9.0

it's very good..

6.9

L'hotel è situato in un ottima posizione rispetto ai mezzi pubblici. La stanza è veramente piccola ma essenziale, considerando che per visitare una città come questa in stanza il tempo da trascorrere è veramente poco. Ottima accoglienza e disponibilità della Reception, colazione accettabile. L'unico inconveniente verificatosi ma in fretta risolto è la questione prezzo camere, ricordarsi di portare la prenotazione on-line di Venere inquanto il prezzo proposto è inferiore rispetto al reale. Consiglio l'ubicazione a chi vuole trascorrere spensierati giorni di vacanza.

9.5

Perfect in London. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel and you can cross the whole city with this bus. The bathroon is a little bit small.

7.6

Si tratta di un hotel con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Le stanze sono minuscole, va la pena provare questa 'intimità' se si è in coppia. Molto a portata di mano i trasporti per raggiungere il centro. L'hotel è ben servito sia con l'autobus che con il treno e la metropolitana. Chi ha voglia di scarpinare un po', puo' anche spostarsi a piedi. Mi raccomando, se andate a Londra... portate con voi sempre le sterline, perchè gli euro non sono sempre i ben accetti.

8.7

We arrived late at night, but it was no problem to get the room, because the reception was open 24h. The room we had the first night was towards the street and it was a little bit loud because there was running a busline and the street was quite bussy. But it was no problem to change the room, so that we had a very quiet room for the rest of our stay. So over all the stay was very good.

8.2

The rooms are very small but you get use to. It is a very nice hotel and the location is perfect. I will came back to the same hotel.

6.8

Está abierto 24, y eso es bueno si viajas con una low cost, pues puedes llegar al hotel a las 3 de la mañana. Las habitaciones son muy pequeñas, pero están limpias y son acojedoras. Ideal para los que van a Londres a sacar el máximo partido del viaje, pues dan desayuno hasta las 9.30, está a 15 minutos de Hyde Park y Marble Arch andando. Hay parada de bus al otro lado de la calle y a 5 minutos una por la que pasan un monton de lineas. La estación de Paddington a 10 minutos.

8.6

Close to Paddington Station, with good transport possibilities to wherever you want to go in London, the hotel proved to be worth very much its price. With plenty of restaurants nearby and also Bayswater and Edgware Road within walking distance, no need to go looking for a good meal elsewhere either. We chose a 'small double', which still had enough space to move around a bit (the bathroom however was really tiny). As we had a room in the basement, there was some noise of other people coming in or having breakfast (for those who want to sleep longer), but it didn't keep us out of our sleep. Would certainly come back for our next stay in London !

8.2

Bathroom too much small

8.2

My third time at the Hotel Boulevard. Once again a very pleasant stay. Personnel very nice and helpful, room tiny but tidy, location OK. A perfect base for seeing London. Rooms are small, but tidy, modern and comfy. Breakfast is a basic hotel breakfast with toast and cereals, juice and tea. The price/quality ratio is excellent. The hotel suits those who seek a comfortable and affordable base for exploring London. The hotel has very good transport links. 2 tube stations very close and at least 2 bus lines stop right opposite the hotel entrance. One of these bus lines, number 23 is very useful for those arriving from Stansted airport by Stansted Express train, as the line 23 runs directly from Liverpool St station 24 h/day.

4.8

The rooms are small and I mean VERY small. The window was broken and that caused the traffic to keep us awake all night. We reported it and they said they will fix it or move us, After numerous enquiries, this never happened. We fixed the window with coat hangers. There are NO cuboard space, a kettle but NO cups. The breakfast consisted of toast and coffee, THAT IS ALL. I WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!

7.0

The location is excellent, the rooms are clean and very, very small. A good option just to sleep in a central location. The most important if you want to stay there is to choose a room to the back - we changed from the street to the back and that was the difference between a very noisy (I mean VERY NOISY) room and a very quiet one. We paid more 5£ (!) for a little bigger and more silent bedroom. Good option for London.

8.1

Grundsätzlich sehr empfehlenswert. Allerdings: Die Tagesdecke auf dem Bett war sehr dreckig und großflächig gelb-gefleckt. Ansonsten aber sauber.

6.9

Our stay here for three nights in early September was just okay. Its location near Paddington Station is very convenient for public transport. Our large double was comfortable for us, although the bathroom was extremely tiny. You literally have more room to move about in an airplane bathroom. The room had satellite tv and air conditioning, which was great. We were on the top floor (room 309) and it was very quiet. Breakfast was nothing special (just coffee, OJ, cornflakes and toast with jam and butter). The only complaint I have is that the cleaning staff didn't clean our room after our second night. They straightened out our bedsheets (to look like the bed was made) but underneath the sheets were still crumpled. And the bathroom didn't get cleaned either. I don't think we'd stay here again. I'd stay somewhere closer to Victoria Station (easier to walk to see the sights we are interested in instead of spending 20 minutes back and forth on the Tube).

5.8

The small double is indeed small but the bathrooms are smaller...If you are a big man, think twice... Anyway it is a great budget location in Central London.

7.4

This hotel is perfect for a short stay in London. For a longer stay (more than one week), the room might be too small. This hotel is almost cheap for this city and it is well situated near Paddington station and several bus stops. The size of the room by itself was correct but the bathroom was wery small.

6.3

To be honest, the staff is not very welcoming. The cleanliness of room is ok, but the facilities are quite worn out. However, the location is excellent, and lots of cheap Latin shops are in the neighborhood. I might stay in this hotel in the future.

6.4

Small, but new and clean room. Extremely small bathroom. Breakfast was served in the reseption area. Bad service, especially from the manager!

7.2

We had booked a "small double", but had not imagined, how small it could be, -not much more than a bed in the room. But it was clean and okay. For one or two nights okay. We changed to a bigger room, that was better, but very loud from the people above. The people in the hotel were very friendly, the breakfast was okay (toast and cornflakes), the surroundings also (many restaurants, near hidepark...)

8.3

Nice hotel and nice people. The zone of Paddington is excellently served by busses and Tube, full of shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay!

6.2

WE WERE JUST DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THE CLEANLINESS OF THE ROOM, THE SHEETS SMELLED LIKE SMOKE AND THERE WAS A RAZOR IN THE SHOWER

9.2

This was a nice, clean room, but very small!! Luckily, so was our luggage! The bathroom and shower are extremely small. My husband is 6'0'' and about 260 and barely fit in the shower! But, the hotel was sufficient since we were only there to sleep. One of the many good points to this hotel is that you can turn on/off the air conditioning yourself. We would probably stay here again because the staff was so helpful and it is so close to Paddington station. If you stay here, be sure to eat at Mickey's Fish and Chips. It was excellent!!!

6.9

Small hotel, room is smaller than my bathroom at home. We were there for theLondon Bombings so for that Thursday, there was some trouble getting around. Breakfast not what we Americans are usedto but it gets you going.

9.4

Both me and my daughter are very satisfied with the hotel. The small doublerooms are indeed very small, but the time we spent there were just for sleeping and taking a shower.

8.4

this hotel is clean and good value for the money but if you have heavy bags you may want to stay somewhere else. My room was on the 3rd floor, no elevator and very steep steps. They were not able to change my room so I left my bags at reception. It was ok for one night but I would not have stayed longer with my bags. Otherwise the room was lovely and breakfast was great and its so close to the station even with my bags. I would stay again only if I had a weekend bag with me.

7.4

A great hotel in London, as usual getting a quality, clean establishment at a reasonable price means you get 'cosey' rooms. However this was the only negative point of my stay; if I needed to stay in the same area again I would consider the Boulevard again.

5.8

le camere ed il bagno sono veramente piccolissimi, pero' l'arredamento e' carino e c'e' anche l'aria condizionata. Purtroppo la nostra camere era al primo piano proporio di fronte alla fermata del bus e quindi molto disturabata anche durante la notte.

9.1

Room is just slightly bigger than a double bed, maybe add 1-2 feet on the bottom and side of the bed for walking space. Was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the sheets and towels, plus the availability of a kettle. Hairdryer is outside of the toilet, wardrobe is very small so if you're expecting to be able to wash and dry clothes, maybe only 1 or 2 pieces. There's a shelf on top of the bed, so watch your head when waking up, TV is a flatscreen, many channels available. Toilet is about the size of the lavatory in an aircraft, add a shower space to that with a door. Sink is VERY small, can't even wash my face without getting the floor wet. Toilet has a heater Breakfast is coffee/tea, orange juice, 8 slices of toast with jam/butter, a bowl of corn flakes Area is nice, it's not too far from paddington tube station which is on the circle/district line. Right opposite is Micky's Fish and Chips, which has good Fish for low prices, and grocery stores. Magazine stores, Burger King, KFC (open till 2am), Macdonald's and Subway are within 50m of the hotel, St Mary's Hospital is right at your doorstep. Bus stop right outside the hotel takes you to centre of town as well. For this price, this is definitely value for money. Not to mention there's a Hilton like a block down, and you're paying maybe 1/3 the price or less for almost the same location. Staff is friendly, eastern european; they allowed us to leave our baggage in the hotel on the day we checked out, and we could collect almost anytime. 24 hour reception, plus the security's good, they have a CCTV camera looking at the door. Try it out if you're not a stickler for room space

A nice, clean hotel but very, very small rooms.

Geputzt wird hier zwar, aber sehr oberflächlich, d.h. alter Dreck in den Ecken. Bett war sehr gut und sauber, Bad offensichtlich frisch renoviert, aber auch schon Schimmel in der Dusche. Kleines Waschbecken, aber mit Einhandmischer. Immer warmes Wasser. Die Zimmer nach hinten raus sind ruhig, die Lage wirklich sehr zentral. Bus direkt vorm Haus, U-bahn und Zug nur 3-4 Minuten! Frühstück nicht sehr reichhaltig, aber ok. Für Besucher aus Deutschland leider immer noch teuer, obwohl ein Budgethotel. Nach meinen bisherigen London-Hotels aber sowas wie ein Highlight! Insgesamt empfehlenswert, wer's mit der Sauberkeit nicht so eng sieht wird begistert sein.

Very nice hotel. Near Padington Metro Station. It was possible to use the hotel's kitchen.

6.4

The room that we had was very small, no space to even put our luggage! It be a problem for big sized and tall people definitely. The shower is small too...

9.7

We were fully satisfied... Everything in the room was new, clean rooms, friendly stuff, it was really great.

8.1

Stanze piccole ma ben disposte e ben fornite, Il rumore della strada e' forte ma ci si abitua presto. La colazione è buona e abbondante. E' servito benissimo da metro ed autobus. Complessivamente lo consigliamo e noi stessi ci ritorneremo.

I stayed in the basement so I can talk only about this kind of room. The room is small like a nut, the smell coming from the window was unacceptable, the room is not very quite, no additionan pillows, if you bring with you more than one pair of shoes you have no space to put it in. After the bad news there are two good ones. First the breakfast is good (continental and not english), second the surrounding areas are plenty of good restaurants and the hotel is very near to bus stop and tube station (circle line).

Ottima location dal punto di vista del trasporto pubblico: a circa 300 metri la stazione dell'underground (tube)- che è anche stazione ferroviaria - con ben tre linee disponibili; di fronte l'albergo la fermata del bus. La camera era pulita e sufficientemente spaziosa: consiglio a tutti di spendere una manciata di pounds in più al giorno prenotando una large double così da avere lo spazio sufficiente per le valige e per muoversi agevolmente. Il bagno è comunque piccolissimo, ma nuovo e pulito. Come avevo richiesto nella prenotazione, ho avuto una camera sul retro del palazzo e sono riuscita a dormire bene anche se la vista è sul tetto del palazzo di fronte. L'unico disturbo è la luce fortissima che penetra nella stanza già dalle 6 di mattina nonostante le tende. Non c'è l'ascensore e scale e corridoi d'accesso alle camere sono molto stretti. La colazione è semplice ma buona. Ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo, quindi consiglio il Boulevard a chiunque voglia visitare Londra con un budget limitato.

LE CAMERE ERANO VERAMENTE MOLTO PULITE, VALE DAVVERO LA PENA ANDARE LA' LA COLAZIONE E' SODDISFACENTE E IL SERVIZIO OTTIMO!! COMPLIMENTI!!

9.2

Trés bon séjour à l'hotel Boulevard, que je recommande vivement. Les chambres sont certes petites, mais elles ont tout le confort nécéssaire, et sont trés propres. A savoir, pas de différence fondamentale entre la chambre normale et la "large". Petit déjeuner copieux, tartines de pain de mie grillé, beurre, confiture, corn flakes, jus d'orange, café, thé. Possibilité de laisser les bagages en dépot à l'hôtel. Trés bien situé, à 500 mètres de la gare de Paddington, et du métro, arret de bus juste devant, quartier agréable. Bref, un hôtel à conseiller!

Very nice hotel, we will come back! Small, small, but clean and staff 24 hours. No complains.

Die Zimmer waren sehr klein, aber mit Fernsehen, Dusche, Wasserkocher und sogar Fön ausgestattet. Allerdings ging unser Zimmer zur Straße hinaus und war sehr laut. Das Hotel ist aber sehr verkehrsgünstig gelegen. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist gut.

7.2

location is good (Paddington in 5 min. walk.) Our room was not as tiny as expected, but especially the washrooms are very,very small (but clean) Breakfast is very limited (Coffea, cerials, orange-juice.) That's it. No eggs, sausage etc. Communication by email with the hotel management works very well. Many food-shops and restaurants (incls. Burger King and Mc. Donalds araounf the corner) We would book this hotel again due to good location near to Paddington.

i stayed 2 nights and they didn´t have the single room i booked so they put me in a small double room...i was grateful but it was small...not much room to move, but i knew this from comments posted on venere about this hotel...the next night i was moved to a large double as my mother had arrived from oz... much more spacious and comfortable...the staff were lovely, especially the manager patrizia...i will stay here again on my next visits to london, although i will always ask for a room away from the street...top location...great hotel for budget hotel goers.

This was a really great location because the tube was just around the corner. The value was good if the room on the small side but that's what we have come to expect for the resonable price. We had no problem with the room size, ourselves. It was all clean and we felt very comfortable in the neighborhood.

Abbiamo soggiornato solo pochi giorni, l'albergo era veramente come è stato da voi descritto, purtroppo l'accoglienza non è stata molto cortese, la ragazza che era all'accettazione è stata molto scortese, inoltre ci ha assegnato una camera nel seminterrato senza finestra, solo quando mi sono lamentata allora ci ha spostati al terzo piano. La cosa bella è che si trova in un bel quartiere molto ben collegato alle altri parti della città sia dalla metro che dagli autobus anche notturni proprio di fronte all'albergo.

7.9

Nonostante le modeste dimensioni della stanza (che cmq ci aspettavamo), il nostro soggiorno è stato molto gradevole vista la disponibilità del personale e la vantagiosa posizione dell'hotel. Consigliabile rispetto alla tipologia degli altri hotel inglesi della medesima categoria. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

8.8

I definetly recommend this hotel for a shorter stay in London.

5.6

Tutto come descritto, bagno microscopico, non molto pulite le lenzuola
