Rove Hotel London Paddington

Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. All reception staff greeted us each time we arrived and left. One of them spoke to the manager about one of our requirements who then upgraded my mum's room. Convenient location. Air con was much appreciated in this heatwave. Everywhere was clean and in perfect order

Great location, but the hotel is quite noisy. The rooms are very small, and the bathroom has semi-transparent glass doors with gaps that don’t fully close. You can also hear noise from neighboring rooms through the bathrooms. Other than that, everything was fine. Our room was on the road side of the hotel, overlooking a small park. Unfortunately, doctors and engineers seemed to gather there every night for very passionate discussions about the latest technologies- often quite late and surprisingly loudly. It made it very difficult to sleep. Obviously, this isn’t the hotel’s fault, but it’s something to be aware of when choosing a room.

​We booked the Rove Hotel in London through Capital One Travel, where it was advertised as a 4-star property. It fell incredibly short of that standard. ​The room was unbelievably cramped. To give you an idea, the photo attached shows where the foot of the bed meets the wall. There was barely enough clearance to shuffle past the wall-mounted TV panel, making it incredibly difficult to just walk around the room normally. ​Beyond the tiny room layout, the hotel itself had a strange vibe, featuring a maze of weird hallway doors equipped with motion sensor lights. Hotel feels old, run down, and not a place to spend more than a night. ​Fortunately, we were only in town for an 8-hour layover. Had we been staying any longer, we would have checked out and booked a different hotel the second we saw the room. Avoid if you actually need space to move. Side note: It is in a great location and the mini split worked great.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rove Hotel in Paddington. It was in a great location with the station and plenty of shops nearby. I, as a solo female traveller felt safe in the area even at night. The room was clean and had more than everything you need and service was good. You can hear the underground from the room, however I barely noticed after the first day and never overnight. Overall good stay in London!
