Tiny and charming, the Shakespeare hotel was safe and enough for us on our short stay in London. Great location and friendly staff.
Carla, 3-night trip

A little tatty but perfectly adequate for a weekend break. A bit of noise in the ground floor room but I still slept well on the comfortable bed

Return Visit.
Another quick visit to London and The Shakespeare. It's ideal for its convenient location, which is close to Paddington Rail & Tube, with nearby choice of food and drink establishments. The room is small but perfectly suitable for a solo one-night stay, with a good shower and comfortable bed, along with helpful staff.

Great value, great location
Surprisingly spacious room for the price in central London. Good bars and restaurants in the area but a little spoiled by the rubbish bags and homeless people in the vicinity. Nonetheless I would definitely book again as this isn't the hotels fault.

Great little find.
Good location just around the corner from Paddington station. It’s not the ritz but great for a one night stay after a night out. Yes you do hear the underground sometimes but it’s fine.

Lovely hotel
We had a lovely time. We went to London to see The cirque du soleil.The hotel is very central and very clean, ideal if you want to stay central with eatery around and a underground a few steps away.We definitely come back. Lovely staff as well.

Good short stay.
The Shakespeare was ideal for my one night stay in London, being conveniently close to Paddington Station. The staff were helpful and the room was clean with comfortable bed and good shower.

Great London base
The hotel is an excellent place to use as a base for London as very close to Paddington station and allows for luggage to be stored before check in and after check out. The staff were very helpful, the room was very clean and extremely comfortable. We did not eat at this hotel so cannot comment on food.

Not so great…
Room was quite small. Not even complimentary bottle of water in the refrigerator.
Efe L., 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok hotel for a night
Was ok for one night.. just be for warned there is no elevator and the stairs are steep, uneven and if you go to the top floor the stair case becomes very narrow.. ok for going up with backpack but very difficult with suitcases. Beds were clean and for the most part comfortable.
Gerald, 1-night trip

No real complaints, you get what you paid for? Location is perfect
Jeremy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and room, although small was clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated and there only appears to be a small staircase but not a problem for me. I would stay here again.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Have stayed twice before & have been more than satisfied. On this occasion could only acquire a shared bathroom/convenience, which was quite far from the room. Just personally, could have done with a bigger, bed.
Jaimes, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Underground trains disturb sleep
My small ground floor room was clean and reasonably fresh. But I cannot recommend the hotel, for the rumbling noise and vibrations of regular late night and early morning underground trains is far too disturbing. I booked here for a decent night's sleep which I didn't get.... Aarhh!
