Hotels near Stone Wharf in London

The hotel is near Stop J where the national express bus to the airport stops. It is convenient if you plan to travel in and out of the city. It’s still quite a bit of a walk to the bus stop and train station, not at the door step but manageable. The security is also very tight at the hotel. Staff was very accommodating. I checked in late and checked out early. Everything went smoothly. They also gave me a cake for my birthday which was sweet. Room is generally clean. Carpet could be cleaner. Also, the room is spacious for London’s standard.

We are so glad we chose Wilde apartment hotel in the Paddington district. Wonderful staff, really service-friendly and caring about the guests. The hotel is in a nice area and it was easy to get to our planned activities in the city. If we ever return to London, we will stay at Wilde. A big thank you from two parents and two teenage girls.

Room was clean and good. Lots of storage spaces for your stuff. Staff were really nice and humble. And location was really convenient and very close to Paddington station. The only downsides were room service and breakfast. We stayed there for 3 nights and they didn't even clean the room once, even after requesting them to. Instead they gave us bin bag to empty our own garbage bin which felt really weird. The breakfast was sooooo bad. We mostly had breakfasts outside even though we paid for breakfast (included with room booking). I felt they can improve the breakfast for the price we are paying. Even the cheapest hotels have proper English breakfast.

We stayed 3 nights here, first night the rooms were wrong, after going to reception the ignorant woman behind reception was no help. Her male colleague changed the rooms on day 2. All 4 rooms were dumps, not fit for 1 star. Our room in the basement was directly above the tube line, you could hear it travelling every few minutes. Health and safety doesn't exist here. Breakfast is basic, no hot food and the milk was sour and stored in a flask. Everywhere except reception is filthy. The bar was closed for 2 of the 3 days we spent here as the barman did not turn up for work and nobody else was authorised to open the bar including the manager. 10 pounds charge to store your luggage while you wait to get checked in!!! While passing through reception at various times we heard at least 6 people complaining about the rooms they had been allocated. Nothing matches the photos online. Windows unlockable, safes not working, corroded tap in the ”newly refurbished bathroom”, showers blocked. Well over priced for what it is. This place is not a hotel!! Unfortunately 0 stars is not an option.

I chose this hotel for my family vacation based on the Comfort Inn name. We have always enjoyed the quality of Comfort Inn hotels in our previous travels. This particular hotel does NOT live up to the Comfort Inn name. It didn't feel structurally sound nor safe. The floor felt like it was crumbling under our feet in certain areas of the room. It sounded like people walking above us were going to come through the ceiling. The carpet was filthy. We could not see out or open the window -- it appeared to be nailed shut and there was something hanging over it on the outside. Breakfast options were extremely limited. So disappointed! BTW, we stayed in room 101.

Adore this hotel and always lovely to stay here and meet the friendly staff. Conveniently located near to either Maida Vale tube station (Bakerloo line) or St John's Wood (Jubilee) and a short walk to Abbey Road Studios, ”The Beatles” crossing, Lords Cricket Ground and Regent's Park. Not too far from Hyde Park/Marble Arch/Oxford Street either. Rooms refurbished since I was last here pre-pandemic and it makes such a different to them. Super clean, also comfortable beds and modern showers / bathroom. Bar and Italian restaurant next door integral to the hotel (Carluccios). Can get a glass of wine to take to your room after it's closed if you ask at reception (thank you). Not a great deal immediately around the hotel but if I'm away for work this isn't an issue as Carluccios is good enough. Even if on vacation, it's a short 15 minute taxi ride to Oxford Street. Wonderful breakfast choice in the morning also in Carluccios but run by the hotel staff. Everything you could imagine you would want for breakfast and a big enough space not to have to queue for a table. Seems a safe affluent area (certainly between the hotel and Regent's Park). And a nice old tin church on the walk from Maida Vale to the hotel! USB charging points in the (at least refurbished) rooms. Oh and in the summer on hot days they give you free ice creams!

This is written with intent disappointment at the standard/ quality of the room we were provided, as well the manners of staff employed. I would like to note that at our insistence, we were moved rooms to another classic double room, but this was of an equally poor standard to the original room. Firstly, it came as a surprise that our room was in fact underground the main reception, this is not noted in any of the website descriptions or pictures. Not only was there an immense lack of ventilation resulting in dampness and mould on the walls and ceilings of the room, but you could audibly hear the underground trains running every few minutes. Even before reaching our room we had to step over communal laundry which had been left at the foot of the stairs. There was also a draft through the corridor as a result of a hole in the ceiling, filled with what appeared to be towels. Secondly, the lack of attention paid to the cleanliness of the room was outstanding. As you will note from the [pictures/ videos] there was an incredible build-up of dust on areas such as the headboard of the bed and skirting boards of the rooms. There was even chewing gum stuck to one of the skirting boards. There were noticeable cobwebs scattered across both rooms. Upon pointing this out to the ‘hotel manager’, we were told that the rooms were of the highest cleanliness. Thirdly, the maintenance of the room was in dire condition. There was wallpaper falling off both rooms we were given, the headboard had broken and the mattress had significant lumps and dips across both mattresses. Fourthly, the attitude of the hotel manager was our biggest problem. All complaints made about the standard of our room were brushed aside as if irrelevant without taking the time to come down to the room to observe our areas of concern. We were clearly told upon complaining that all other hotel rooms were fully booked and nothing could be done to assist us. This proved to be untrue as several minutes after our complaints sat with the manager, we were informed a room had been made available for us. However, this was of an equally poor standard, as evidenced by the attached. Finally, the manager remained insistent that he only wanted to talk to me, as opposed to my female partner whom he refused to look at the entirety of our exchange. When my partner tried to address the manager, he would overlook all her comments and refer only to me. He clearly took umbrage towards her by solely focusing on me, despite my partner presenting valuable points of concern with good grace and decorum. The culmination of these factors resulted in an easy decision being made to stay elsewhere that evening, at a significant personal cost.

Walls were not clean when we arrived and lots of cobwebs on door surface especially around metal frame. We had to check out at 11 so plenty of time for rooms to be cleaned and turned around. Bedclothes are extremely old and worn. They should be replaced as they look like they were bought and in use since the last century, an old relative is only person who I would imagine has such textiles. Beds were very small so again when was the last time furniture was updated. Bathroom was ok but very old shower. Overall the price vs standard of accommodation does not match up and I would recommend only visiting this hotel as a last resort. With more investment, it could be better as the location is quite good.

CONS - *This hotel is very FILTHY !!!! STAY AWAY!! consider the price you were paying. This place needs to be BANNED for promoting false picture advertisement. * The room really stinks like dead smell looks like it had not been cleaned for centuries. The rug carpet and wall are very dirty and looks like a squatter area or prison. Housekeeper are nowhere to be found and when a guest check-out they just don't remove the bed sheet and use the same sheet for the next guest because you can see some leftover hairs and dirty mattress and pillows. * Showers are really cold and sinks are dirty with NO TOWELS they don’t provide when you come in the room. The kettle don’t even use it for coffee and the mug are DIRTY! * The staff are very rude when I told them the WIFI does NOT WORK!!! and yet they keep insisting it works. * Im really lucky to book this hotel for only 1 day. I heard some guests book this hotel for maybe 3-5 days imagine the horror and stress you going to be put through in this hotel service.

The reception staff in general are very friendly and accommodating with a particular mention of the young guy with slim built and glasses. He really made effort to accommodate me by having my room ready way before their 4 pm checking- in time. I appreciated so much what he and his team mates did. The location is just fabulous with Paddington station just next to the hotel. I was able to use it to get in and out of the hotel during my stay. Worth noting that there are two mini supermarkets inside the station, making shopping for bits and pieces so easy. The draw back is that there is no fridge in the room which is kind of rare for a hotel, let alone one of the Hilton hotels. The amenities really should include a pair of slippers for guests. Overall, I had an enjoyable stay there and won’t hesitate to go back there if I ever visit London again.
