Everything was good at the hostel. Will be staying again my next trip to London. Breakfast was excellent and quick. Lots of showers and washrooms available. Internet was fast. No complaints here. However, 1 tip is to check in early (2pm-5pm) because you will have to go into the bar to check in and it gets quite busy after, as London tries to relax and enjoy the evening after a long day of work.

Common area open until very early, I think 11 pm, as well the pub that was open until 12 pm on a friday night, but i think that's London.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms and bathrooms were always very clean. Even thought they were renovating downstairs in the bar area, they still served the included breakfast to the people staying in the hostel. The manager was extremely nice and helpful when I had some problems with some tickets I bought and did his best to help me get it figured out. I would definitely stay here again!

It was a great hostel, amazing location and very clean. It even includes breakfast daily (full English if you choose) which is amazing. The only draw back is that it's very noisy as located directly opposite of Paddington station. Make sure to bring ear plus as I promise you will need them. You can hear everything from the street. Other than that, very better than expectations.

Amazing hostel, especially considering the experience I have had with others. Great location next to Paddington Station with an awesome pub downstairs and a great staff. Couldn't be happier with my stay.

although I just stayed for one night I really liked this place. The pride of paddington is basically a pub-hostel with nice staff and clean rooms and bathrooms. Located right at Paddington Station it is easy to reach and perfect for people who want to explore London.

Staff was very helpful. Like the fact that breakfast was moved to 12pm on 1st Jan to let people sleep!

Good location, literally across the street from Paddington station, although not many features within easy walking distance. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and were cleaned every day. They had lockers which needed locks, so bring your own or buy own downstairs for 3 pounds. My room was pretty cold (in December) and had quite a bit of street noise. As for character, it was dominated by the pub downstairs, and there wasn't much other hostel social life. Breakfast was delicious.

It is a mix of a pub and a hostel. How could this not work? :D

Clean hostel, friendly staff, excellent breakfast! Needs proper blankets now that the nights are cold. I was lucky that there were empty beds in my room the first night so I could use the blankets from them.

This is a place only to sleep. If you are looking for a hostel atmosphere, forget it. There are a lot of noise on the street during the night.
