Queensway Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western Overview

First Impressions

The Queensway Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western sits on a tree-lined street in Paddington that honestly feels more residential than touristy — which is exactly what makes it work. It’s one of those converted Victorian townhouses you see all over London, but this one’s been thoughtfully updated without losing its character. The entrance is understated, and you know what? That’s refreshing when so many hotels try too hard to impress from the sidewalk.

Location That Actually Matters

Sussex Gardens is perfectly positioned between Hyde Park and Paddington Station — I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Tube and about the same to the park. What I love about this spot is that you can grab coffee and pastries from the little Lebanese bakery next door, then be at Oxford Street in ten minutes flat. The area has that authentic London feel where actual locals live and work, not just tourists snapping photos. Couples especially seem to get this location (they rate it 9.2, which honestly makes sense when you’re strolling through Hyde Park at sunset).

The Room Experience

The rooms are what you’d expect from a well-run three-star property — clean, comfortable, and smartly designed for the space they have. Each room feels like someone actually thought about how travelers use the space, with decent lighting for reading and enough outlets near the bed. The bathrooms are compact but functional, and the beds are surprisingly good quality. It’s dependable and well-maintained — sort of like that reliable friend who always shows up when they say they will.

Morning Routine

The continental breakfast is served in a bright ground-floor space that catches the morning light nicely. It’s not elaborate — think fresh pastries, cereals, fruit, and proper coffee — but it gets the job done without the chaos you sometimes find at bigger hotels. I actually prefer this kind of setup because you can grab what you need and get on with exploring the city. The staff keeps everything well-stocked, and there’s usually a quiet corner where you can plan your day over a second cup of coffee.

Why Guests Love It

What really works here is the combination of location and value — you’re getting a proper London address without paying Mayfair prices. The fact that there’s private parking available is huge if you’re driving (though honestly, you probably won’t need a car from this location). The staff knows the neighborhood well and can point you toward the good curry houses on Edgware Road or the quieter entrance to Hyde Park. It’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, which matters more than fancy amenities when you’re trying to see a city like London.
