    Great location everything on doorstep we will return.

    rating30 May 2026

    A good 2 night stay, Breakfast was good, location was everything, it was literally round the corner from Paddington station with majority of tube lines to use, plenty of bars, cafes, shops, shopping centre and Paddington basin on the Grand Union Canal running alongside the station. Norfolk Square was a quiet area with greenery in the middle you would never know what was around the corner. One downside you could feel the trains rumbling underneath we were on the ground floor not sure if other floors above were the same, we got used to it and not sure if it stopped overnight as it didnt stop us getting to sleep. We will be back.

    No thought to decor - mismatched furniture just thrown together. Looks grotty

    rating28 May 2026

    Good location near Paddington station. Three flights of stairs up to room with no offer to help you even if you’re older. Room was tiny but adequate. Could have been nicer if the furniture was painted to match so the room didn’t feel like it was thrown together with furniture from the charity shop. Would just show a better standard of care and thought.

    Very basic

    rating26 May 2026

    Location is brilliant as it’s close to the train station. But the hotel is quite run down. No lift. No body wash or shampoo in the bathroom. Not many choices for breakfast.

We are happy to hear you were pleased with the excellent location of our hotel and we are hoping to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Shakespeare Hotel

    Last-minute booking should have looked closer

    rating24 May 2026

    Should have researched this place a little better. The location is fine but it’s more of a hostile versus hotel rooms are tiny. Our bathroom was down the hall and there’s no air-conditioning to top that off the tube blinds run right under the hotel so you hear that every four minutes or so. Otherwise relatively clean. We booked while in the airport on our way into London, so didn’t research deeply. Read all the reviews before deciding on this one. Monika G, Guest Services / Front Office at Shakespeare Hotel, responded to this review Dear guest,thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay at our hotel due to the lack of AC and the disturbance from the underground. We do not advertise having an AC on any of our booking platforms, please contact your travel provider for more information. We appreciate your insight as it helps us improve the quality of our service in the future. Kind regards, Shakespeare Hotel
