The Pilgrm Hotel, London
Expert reviews
“Space may be at a premium in The Pilgrm hotel, but beautiful reclaimed fixtures and tempting food more than make up for the lack of elbow room. Cocktails, comfort, great cuisine… not things a true pilgrim would expect, but I can imagine food, style and bargain lovers everywhere being happy to make a pilgrmage.”
“It’s the most stylish, cool and comfortable place you’ll get for the price in central London. And even though the rooms are tiny, chances are you’re not going to be hanging out in them that much anyway.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List.
“A Victorian-era building brought back to life as a “reinterpretation” of the traditional hotel. All the frills have been stripped back so you’re left with simple, but considered, hallmarks: smooth check-in, meticulous design, a world-class cocktail menu and decent coffee. In short, it’s the future of city hoteliering.”

Central, clean and convivial.
Breakfast was excellent and well-portioned.
Insufficient hanger/“wardrobe”/shelf space in room

Fantastic, good value, and recommend to others when I can
Room was nice, hotel quirky, cooked breakfast fabulous especially the eggs. I have been trying to find eggs with yolks like yours but to no avail, I should just phone and ask 🤷♂️ staff were great and easy to deal with. The Pizza restaurant across the road, San Marco was amazing too, mad but genuine Italian with Italians as customers.
I think that you could fit new windows with double glazing, it was a bit cold in our room but ok once the heating got up to speed but lots of condensation in the bathroom. I know it is a big expense but that is the only thing.

Lounge is excellent. Breakfast very good and reasonably priced. The location is good, very close to Paddington Tube Station. Room price good for London
Our room H13 , booked as a large room was noticeably smaller than the two rooms booked by the other people in our party.

The room is clean. The location is great. Super close to Paddington Station.
The room is small. You need to carry your heavy luggage up the stairs.

Hotel with lots of charm
Excellent location not far from station. Very comfortable bed and quiet, warm room with good lighting for reading. Marvellous lounge restaurant with delicious food and lovely staff.
No chair in room and shower too high for short people. Bit of a maze to get to the room on 4th floor across an outside walkway, with no numbers on doors in my passageway that I could see. Helpful details about hotel not in room, but online, which I didn't get till too late as my phone wasn't working!

Pleasant
The charming vintage style of the hotel. Attention to detail e.g. pantry, magazines, books. Very clean. Great location just next to Paddington station.
Extremely small room, really just walk-in- closet- size. I'm slim and I had to scoot sideways along the bed to get into the bathroom. A shelf under the sink to put a toiletry bag would be appreciated because also the bathroom was tiny. One could argue, yes, enough space but if you hit your elbows while turning...... A maze of stairs and different staircases.....alright, charming old Victorian but when with a suitcase....in their defence-.the hotel offered to bring it to my room. So, all in all, I'm choosing a different hotel for my next stay.

Recommended for Exploring London ✅
Great location, great choice of restaurants and transportation options, very welcoming staff and would revisit. Coffee ☕️ and croissant 🥐 at the entrance was a plus for the start of the day.
The TV reception was not good at all and there was an unpleasant smell in the lift.

Lovely cafe & nice character to the building. Bed was comfy and clean, amazing location & nice staff. The price is reasonable but overall felt more like a nice 3* than 4. Would stay again though!
The TV was dated and glitchy, the shower wasn’t very good & the corridors / stairs between the wings felt a little dark and dingy.

The room and bathroom were too small, no storage space for clothes. The view from the room was sad. The room was completely different from what was shown to me in the photos when booking.

Quite expensive for room size. Main room quite basic.

Location, cleanliness, staff very friendly.
Bunk room was rather small. Ok for a single traveller but not for 2.

An unexpected pleasure of a stay, cosy and welcoming
I stayed here very last minute as I couldn’t get home due to Storm Bert and was stranded at Paddington. I was so lucky to get a room here. The room was cosy, warm and clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower powerful and the staff welcoming and friendly. I was given a bottle of water on arrival which I appreciated and there was a refill station in the reception area. I liked the overall design of the hotel and the fact that checkout wasn’t until 12. The lounge area looked great. It’s also perfectly located opposite Paddington Station. I would definitely stay again!
I was a bit thrown by having to cross an outdoor walkway to get to my room in the adjoining building, which was a little unnerving in the dark, wind and rain - I found out in the morning that there was a way to get there without having to go outside which I’d have appreciated! The walls are thin and my neighbour was doing some epic snoring, plus the sound of others trying to cross the walkway woke me a few times because the strong wind caused the door to bang loudly. I’d have loved a kettle in my room to be able to make tea - there are pantries where you can do this but it would have meant crossing the walkway again. These are all very minor points though and overall I was really delighted with my stay.

Super convenient location
Cool vibe in the hotel, and the location is amazing right at Paddington Station.
Check in was at 3, and I arrived at 3:30, but room wasn’t ready yet. I had somewhere to be, so that was a bit frustrating at first, but the wait wasn’t long. Bathroom was a bit small and not a lot of room to put down things. But great water pressure offset that.

Quirky and cosy, in an excellent location.
Extremely handy for Paddington station. The decor was quirky. Staff helpful and offered to move luggage to my room. It had a friendly vibe and as a solo female guest it felt comfortable.
I was in a wing that meant using an open walkway which was a bit disconcerting. The en-suite was very snug.

Good for a quick stopover!
Clean, super-central location! No elevator for your bags, but this is expected with boutique London hotels. A bit overpriced, but clean and comfortable nonetheless. A bit loud due to the location.
No lifts which makes carrying bags a bit difficult. Slightly confusing layout. Somewhat loud in the night.

Because I liked it so much I canceled another booking in order to stay here again when I return from Cornwall. I cancel
It was very clean. The water pressure was excellent. It was very close to the train station and the café was delightful and delicious. The staff was especially helpful.
It was expensive, but I guess London is expensive.

Great location and a good choice for the money for a few days
Location excellent from Paddington Station, probably the second closest hotel to the station. Breakfast was freshly made to order and the coffee was excellent.
A human sized rabbit warren with very confusing room layout and one very small lift which only really serves one half of the hotel. Our room was unbearably warm, we had the windows open permanently in October in the UK and still didnt cool enough.

Excellent location for overnight in London
Great location and friendly staff. Rooms spotlessly clean.
There are stairs but staff offered to help with my suitcase.

Great location, very cute hotel, not the most family friendly.
The lounge was really great and we loved the shower in our room. The location was excellent
Hard to navigate with a little one and a stroller— the lift takes you to “floor 2” but then you had to go down some narrow staircases. Would’ve been fine if we didn’t have a toddler
