Rooms & Amenities
The Brunel Hotel offers single, double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple rooms, each with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms stocked with Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. Single rooms feature a compact setup for solo travelers, while larger rooms include multiple beds, work desks, and tea/coffee facilities. Rooms have carpeted floors, electric kettles, and safes. The hotel does not have a lift, and access to upper floors requires climbing stairs.
Dining & Breakfast
A continental buffet breakfast is served daily in the lower-ground-floor dining room from 7 AM to 10 AM (8 AM to 11 AM on Sundays). Hot beverages and cooked items like toast and eggs are available via table service. The hotel does not have an on-site restaurant but is near The Cow Pub in Notting Hill, which serves fresh seafood and Sunday roasts.
Location & Transport
The hotel is in Westminster Borough, a 5-minute walk from Paddington Station, which connects to Heathrow Airport via the 15-minute Heathrow Express. Nearby attractions include Hyde Park (1.5 km), Little Venice (canal walks), and St. Mary's Hospital (7-minute walk). The Bakerloo Line provides quick access to Oxford Street, Madame Tussauds, and Piccadilly Circus.
Guest Services
The front desk offers luggage storage, dry cleaning, and photocopying services. Staff can assist with local recommendations, including gastro pubs and canal-side dining. Note: The Grade II-listed building has no wheelchair access due to narrow corridors and staircases. Medical assistance is nearby at St. Mary's Hospital (7-minute walk).
Local Attractions
The Royal Albert Hall (summer opera concerts) is a short walk away. Other nearby sites include Kensington Gardens (1 km), the Science Museum (2 km), and Buckingham Palace (3 km). The Regent's Canal and Grand Union Canal meet in Paddington, offering scenic walks and boat rides. The Serpentine Lido in Hyde Park provides open-water swimming.
“The hotel benefits greatly from its location in Paddington, a short walk to the station and local restaurants. I noted that while some found rooms compact, the daily housekeeping and complimentary breakfast are consistent strengths. For travelers prioritizing location and cleanliness on a budget, this could be a practical base.”
