Aspen Hotel

Three of us (friends on a girls' trip) stayed here and LOVED it! The hotel is a little tricky to find because the sign isn't very big, but the instructions on the website helped. It's small and so very charming. The flat was squeaky clean, with a roomy shower, comfy beds, and a kitchenette. It was a very short walk from Paddington Station, and close to lots of shops and restaurants. I saw some other reviews complaining about the lack of air conditioning. I can only assume they were from my fellow Americans (we do love our AC), but we were there in July and you just don't need AC in the UK. All the windows could be opened which provides a lovely breeze if you want it, and all the rooms had oscillating fans if you need even more air flow than that. We certainly didn't. It's an older building with lots of charm, which my group loved. All the rooms had crown molding, and the rooms were decorated nicely. And each room had plenty of storage space to unpack and stow the suitcases. I would highly recommend this lovely place to anyone, and I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Perfect for our needs.

To start off with when I arrived at the hotel in one corner of the car park. I noticed Old beds, bits of wardrobe glass windows. It just didn’t look very nice glass bottles on the floor smashed then we entered reception to where we was greeted by a very friendly man on reception also in reception was a big table with about 10 young adults all on laptops there was also two security men sat at the side of the door. I think the hotel was quite full on one side was the apartment where we stayed where you had to have a separate key to get in that side of the hotel as well as a key for your door on the other side of the hotel I think maybe people who needed temporary housing there was a lot of children playing football in the car park. I noticed the ball bouncing off some of the cars. I’m just glad I’ve parked my car elsewhere for the room, it was clean when we got in there all the windows were open and it was freezing so we shut them straight away. The radiators worked sometimes then didn’t and at night because the windows were that old and didn’t seal properly you could hear all the traffic all night long which kept my daughter awake all night more or less would definitely not stay there again, knowing what I know now
