The Gresham Hotel's location near Paddington Station is a recurring highlight for many, offering convenient access to transport, Kensington Gardens, and even Trafalgar Square. Guests often appreciate the breakfast, especially the English breakfast options, and the fact that some rooms include amenities like a fridge and microwave, though some rooms are small. A £5 breakfast option provides good value with cereals, toast, yoghurt, and fruit. While generally clean, some past guests have noted issues such as dampness in some rooms.

stained wallsdodgy extension lead
the room i got could have used a serious refresh. there were stains on the walls (i wonder what they were from) and the remote control was held together with tape. also, finding only one dodgy extension lead for plugs was not ideal. i had to practically glue it to the desk to use my laptop (talk about vintage).
