Unable to connect to internet. Reception tried to assist but could not get me connected on any device. Bar/lounge was closed due to function. Room was freezing, heater not working. Brought in an oil radiator which then occupied 30% of floor space. When I was shown room heater location I could not believe how much dirt and dust was around the radiator. Known radiator issue as all the panel screws to radiator were missing.
Avoid this place! You will not get what you paid for! Don’t fall for the pictures in the website! Their excuse will be “ we have 78 different rooms” the hallways have a smell to them. Not to mention, they never responded to my emails or whats app text before I got there. False advertisement!
It's hard to appreciate just how tight the bunk room is. The picture is from the loo into the room.
There's almost nowhere to put a suitcase, much less two suitcases!
stephen.partnerNov 05, 2024 During our second stay at the pilgrm we had a room that faced the street. There was noise from the people outside on the street until very late. The window was not soundproof at all. Our earlier stay had a window opening on an allyway and it was much quieter. Hotel is very close to Paddington Ststion and lots of restaurants.
Great hotel in a great location.
Extremely convenient, clean, and comfortable hotel. Very close to Paddington Station and very convenient for travel to/from LHR and underground. Great cafe in the lobby. Large rooms, very modern and extremely clean. Will absolutely stay here again when I return to London. London Street can be a bit noisy at night but not too bad.
Hreat spot 2 min walk to paddington station
Great little hotel with nice people. The pre check in was a little confusing but we got it worked out. The rooms are well done and small but to be expected in the city. There was street noise but it wasn’t an issue for us. The only thing that could improve would be more shelf, table or space to put luggage. There were unused corners that could have accommodated more surface space. And better ventilation. Next time we will bring a small usb fan for the window. I I’ll def stay there again.
This is a very convenient hotel for Paddington station with its Tube, Elizabeth Line, and Heathrow Express options. The rooms are small but comfortable with easy to understand showers! The breakfasts are really good. The receptionists are friendly too at any time of day or night.
You cannot go wrong with a property so close to so many different transportation options that has its own coffee bar, own restaurant with outstanding food, and excellent customer service. When I go back in 2025 to London I will do what I can to secure a room at the pilgrim again.
The room was decent enough, but the hotel was noisy and terribly overpriced. Particularly off putting was their “mandatory” online check in, not only requiring the resending of sensitive data (credit card details, passport numbers), but making you feel like they were doing you a favour by letting you stay at their hotel.
stephen.partnerOct 18, 2024 Room was very small by North American standards but was well equipped with all essentials. There is no sit down space except the bed itself. This is not necessarily a negative thing just a reality so that expectations are in line with reality. Shower was spacious with lots of hot water. Friendly staff and our luggage was stored after checkout time. Apparently luggage storage space is limited so first come first served applies.
Convenient location but the rooms are extremely small, non air conditioned, and most without lift access. The price per night for the room is absurd considering the amenities provided.
jordan.partnerOct 10, 2024 This hotel is probably best suited for young people who want to stay somewhere trendy and convenient while on a budget. The location is great, right next to paddington station. The lounge and reception areas are also very nice and well decorated.
However, the rooms could have been cleaner and the noise is almost unbearable. If you are not someone who can sleep through extremely loud noise, I don’t recommend this hotel. There are people screaming on the street below, the train runs directly under the hotel, and the worst part was that our room was directly beside the staff hallway, where people were slamming the door so loudly beginning at 6am every day. It sounded like someone was trying to break down our room door. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.
Caution - pictures may be deceiving
Nice funky contemporary no frills hotel in a great location. Sadly our room was nothing like the pictures on the site. It was truly tiny to the extent that one of us had to stand against the wall to let the other pass. And we were given an internal room with nothing but another building's window to look at. Most importantly the bedding / towels were decent and we slept well.
deanna.familySep 30, 2024 Really close to transport; was convenient for coming in with your bags straight from the airport off the train. The building is old so our room was hotter than hades (nothing the staff could do to fix that, it just is what it is) and was a bit of a maze to find our floor/room.
The staff were lovely. My room was very noisy facing the back my window was over some sort of generator or industrial fan.
And staff from neighbouring restaurants gathere underneath my window to smoke and chat on their breaks. I would Happily stay again, but I would be careful as to where the room was situated. My room was small, but well appointed. Great location for an overnight with access to Paddington.
Loved the hotel, extremely cute and distinguished.
Great spot for a short stopover, will definitely be back!
Tiny rooms, tiny hallways, tiny elevator and so many stairs!
