Barry House

if asked for a favour we received a fast reaction from the staff. Staff also very friendly.

Breakfast was ok but could use some more love (Cheese and sausage was cut and just thrown on the plate). I am sure it was meant to be a service to the customer but I prefer if the toast will not be touched by the staff and put in the toaster, i myself like to do it myself. Stairs are very steep and not handy for people who can‘t walk that good, not suitable for people with wheelchairs. The water pressure on the 3rd floor was too weak in the shower. Room lacks on comfort, doors do not shut correctly (i saw the light shining through the door. It was 2-4 degrees too cold for me and the heating did not work or wasn‘t activated. As it is an old house you hear each and every crackle when someone walks around. Bed is too small in lenght for me, i think its only 190cm long. Duvet did not give a cozy feeling as the outer side was hard.

Location is ok, plenty of closeby bars and places to eat. Short walk from Paddington but on a quiet road. Check in was easy, good sized room.

Breakfast was a bit of a mish mash of cereal, toast, croissants straight out of the packet and some random heated food like boiled eggs and beans. No cooked breakfast per se. Bed was quite hard and uncomfortable as were the pillows. Relatively clean but found hairs around the bath.

Helpful staff, extremely clean room, loads of plug sockets, decent wifi.

Shower could have been hotter. Wasn't able to close the curtains fully because of the bunk beds.
