An outstanding accommodation option for solo travellers! Digital guest area is a very smart and convenient solution. The room was small, but very clean and cozy. And special thanks for filter coffee + Hario V60 :)

Great value for the price. We had a great experience at Bob's. The staff was very responsive to all our requests. The interior design and amneties of the place are on hotel level while it still feels like staying at your own apartment. There was an issue with hot water during our stay, which was a bit of a nuisance, but, Bob offered a partial refund to make up for it. Overall, I can recommend this place and Bob W.

The room was a bit cramped, but incredibly cozy! You’d find everything you need there—chargers, adaptors, cables, and even a vintage game console. It’s conveniently located, just a short walk from the metro station. For breakfast, we went to Sheila’s cafe, which was satisfactory for a day, but there are plenty of cafes nearby if you’re in the mood for something new. Kensington and Hyde parks are right around the corner, and Paddington train station is a 5-minute walk away. I thoroughly enjoyed having full digital access to the place!

Very good location! Nice neighbourhood. Room was small, but clean and in good shape, everything worked. Not a problem to me, but take note that there's no lift and the stairs are rather narrow (typical London house). Internal noice insulation could be a bit better.

A wonderful short stay at Bob W! Communication before booking was smooth, and I could even check in early free of charge. The digital codes take a minute to get used to, but after that it’s easy. My single room had everything I needed: a comfy bed, clean bathroom with toiletries, a fan, hairdryer, mini-fridge, coffee/tea facilities, and even a world adapter. The sweetest touch was a handwritten welcome card. Great location just around the corner from Paddington Station – highly recommended!

Great place to stay! Fantastic location and great facilities. It's a breeze to check in/ out. I found staff to be helpful, polite and accommodating. The room we stayed in was very clean with great facilities, including microwave! I loved the selection of high quality of beverages and white chocolate short bread as a welcome gift. Overall great experience and very thoughtful facilities and services from offering a selection of reading books and teas, coffee filters ect. left in the hallway for the guests, to complimentary gym and storage access. I highly recommend Bob W Hyde Park.

Such a great stay! The smallest room I've ever had (Single Room), but so lovingly furnished and everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable. And the neighbourhood is just wonderful. Thank you so much! If I'm ever in London again, I'd love to stay with in an Bob W Hotel. Elke

Very nice hotel. Room is small but extremely cozy. Has everything you need. Just be aware of the tiny bathroom, it has the smallest sink I've seen But it being tiny place makes it charming. The reception is quick in replying and will answer whatever questions you have. Location is amazing with Paddington Station just around the corner and a 5 min walk to Hyde Park. Very happy with my stay! But also be warned that there's a lot of stairs and no lift so travel light
