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.”

Nice, clean, relaxed place to stay.
Nice vibe, nice, interesting decor. Lots of healthy plants. Loved that they have a water dispenser. Great to be so close to Paddington Tube and overland stations.
A bit too warm in the room. Also, I would have liked to be able to read the newspaper outside my room, but I couldn't find anywhere with enough lighting for me to read except in my room. It was too cold also to sit around reading in the dining area any time they had the door to the balcony open. Would have liked to have had vegan options on the menu.

Loved this place, would definitely stay again but would request a room with a bit more ventilation.
Stunning property, great location,staff super friendly. Bed was very comfortable, very clean hotel. Would stay again.
Unfortunately we probably got the only room with no sort of view, only an outside wall. The room got very hot in the night, even with the heater off. Maybe a fan in the room would help for ppl who might need it.

Excellent budget hotel
Beautiful and charming old building. Surprisingly quiet. Food and lovely coffee on site. Located across from Paddington which is perfect for getting to any other location.
Rooms were a bit stuffy due to their small size but being aware of this we left the window slightly open when we left and it worked well. It takes a bit of time to get extra supplies (like toilet tissue) but ask in advance and allow for the time to receive. Staff seems minimal which may be why the rooms are so affordable.

We enjoyed our time at the Pilgrim as it was central to all our activities.
Perfect location. Excellent staff and breakfast.
I didn't read carefully to see that there was no air conditioning. It happened to be quite warm. Also, there's no phone in the room. I didn't have my cell phone with me only my husband did. We managed with the fan and cracking the window.

Brief stay, chose large double which was fine and staff were cheerful & helpful solving small issue perfectly. Thumb
Yards from Paddington station. Lovely decor, helpful staff, wonderful chef and amazing breakfast.
Coldest night of the year and heating didn’t work. Lovely old day windows also let in cold draughts. However staff did provide a plug in heater which worked a treat. Double gazing will never be an option in this type of building, but perhaps secondary glazing may be an option to keep out noise & cold.

The Pilgrim provided exactly what I needed for the trip I was on.
friendly staff; easy check-in; comfortable bed; very clean; location was perfect for my needs; quieter than anticipated.
My stay was during a very unusual hot spell and I wished there had been air con in the room.

Overall, the room was a great value and stylish. A bit awkward in some ways, but cute
Love the faithfulness to the old style of the building, fairly good size rooms, big bed, decent bathrooms, and the free water bottles and refills are a nice touch.
No reception desk, room didn't get turned over, mugs in the pantry weren't replenished, bed was lumpy and uneven, bathroom was very warm, TV hung at the foot of the bed was awkward, no air con (non issue this trip)

Good option for travel from Paddington
Stylish hotel with a lift, perfect location for trains from Paddington and Heathrow. Friendly staff and good options for food at the cafe/lounge.
Although there is a lift, not all rooms are accessible. I was in a room up and down stairs in K wing so needed to carry my case further than expected. The room also had a constant smell of food/cooking oil - I was perhaps near the back of the kitchen or neighbouring restaurants.

We loved our bunk beds!
I purposely booked a bunk bed room. I did it as a joke and my husband thought it was hilarious. But the joke was on us because the room was awesome! The beds were super comfortable. The room was small but clean and had really nice little details. The elevator was really small but I didn't mind at all. I know a lot of European elevators are tiny. The hotel itself was really nice and the area is very walkable. A block from Paddington Station which makes getting to a train, the tube, or airport super easy.
Everything was great! The price was a little higher than I expected but that's a small complaint and one I can overlook because of how much we enjoyed our stay.

I loved the location and would happily stay there again.
I liked the comfortable bed with its fresh bed linen, the friendly reception staff, a window I could open myself and the great coffee shop in the foyer. It was perfect for a short overnight stay so close to Paddington Station.
My room was half way between floors so did require the use of both lift and stairs.

Ring around the rosy, around and around.
Loved the location! The lounge was great.
The check in was not user friendly due to no questions being answered until a host could see you. AI chat would be good. Also, it was a maze! Changes in levels and going outside, down stairs, then around corners one person wide! With backpack and spinner times however many people was troubling.

Great breakfast
The breakfast, especially the toffee pancakes, and the overall vibe of the hotel
The lack of airco at the room, which was very hot. The room was very small, good for one person but would feel cramped with two.

Great, central location, 300 metres from Paddington Station. Very comfortable bed.
That the Duty Manager gave me early access to my room after an overnight flight, much appreciated, thank you! The bed was very comfortable and I liked that the safe was incorporated into the bed frame. Breakfast was great. Ideal location to explore London, just 309 metres from Paddington Station.
I didn’t love the check in process, I had an email asking me to check in online but I was already traveling and I was unable to do this, due to connectivity issues.

I loved the location, room & lobby style, but missed a few of the comforts I expected!
Breakfast was amazing the lady running the restaurant was fantastic Location was fabulous Room was lovely but had no chair or wardrobe!
I would have liked a chair in my room, a kettle and a fridge, the pantry was fine, but no fresh milk, fridge or snacks! So I wouldn’t really call it a ‘pantry’ The TV was not smart either, but I liked the Bluetooth speaker and the stylish fittings and bathroom.

Excellent location to explore London from.
Excellent location, comfortable bed and amenities. I stayed twice for the month of September, for my first stay , (wing Y), the Duty Manager organised for me to access my room early as I’d arrived in the country on a night flight, this was greatly appreciated, thank you! Also liked the decent sized safe that was incorporated into the bed base.
On my second stay for the month I was on a different wing (W) and found this room to be quite noisy (street noise), which impacted my sleep.

Excellent location, recommend going for large room for 1-2 night stay.
Breakfast was great, good variety & well done
Rooms were instagram-able “quirky” but some stuff just doesn’t work - the sinks are a good example. Looks great but completely impractical.
