excellent visit near paddington!
short walk heathrow express morning walk
Paddington station is a short walk away, so using the heathrow express was really convenient. i walked to hyde park every morning. It is about 10 minutes away. i have already rebooked a standard room for a future visit, but the view was amazing!
the room did not have a-c. the sash window only opened slightly. there were no blackout curtains and this was disappointing.
