Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Spacious 3 BDR with AC and rooftop in Paddington, honestly, the name pretty much says it all — but it undersells the experience. This four-star apartment sits right in Sheldon Square, and you know what struck me immediately? The light. These floor-to-ceiling windows just flood the place with natural brightness, which is something you don’t always get in London properties.

The Space That Actually Delivers

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places that promise “spacious” and deliver a shoebox, but this apartment genuinely lives up to its billing. Three proper bedrooms — not those awkward converted spaces you sometimes find — each with enough room to actually unpack your suitcase without playing Tetris. The air conditioning was a godsend during my summer visit, because let’s face it, London flats aren’t exactly known for staying cool when the weather heats up.

Location and Getting Around

Paddington gets a bit of a bad rap sometimes, but staying here actually puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close to everything without the chaos of central tourist zones. The Tube station is maybe a five-minute walk, which means you’re genuinely connected to the whole city. I mean, I could pop over to Oxford Street for shopping or catch the Heathrow Express when it was time to leave — both felt effortless from this base.

The Rooftop Revelation

Here’s the thing that really won me over: that rooftop space. It’s not some tiny balcony they’ve dressed up with fancy marketing speak — it’s an actual terrace where you can spread out, have your morning coffee, or wind down with a glass of wine while watching the London skyline. During my stay, I found myself heading up there most evenings just to decompress from the day’s adventures.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

The whole setup just works for people who want more than a standard hotel experience but don’t want to sacrifice comfort or location. You’ve got a proper kitchen if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Sainsbury’s and cook something simple, but you’re also walking distance from some genuinely good dining spots if you’d rather eat out. It’s that flexibility that makes this place special — you’re not locked into anyone else’s schedule or menu choices, but you’re not stranded in some residential area either.

"Exceptional"
We thoroughly enjoyed this place. Very convenient next to paddington station. With london traffic during the tube strike we were able to navigate around the city and get to the airport using Heathrow express on the last day. Had spacious room and everything looked clean. Enjoyed the view of london from the terrace while sipping my coffee in the morning. I'd definitely stay here again.
What could be improved: Picking up key is pretty far from the lodging area. Couple of lights were flickering other than that it wasnt bad.

Every thing in the flat was very good, very big and buitiful setting room attached with big balacony also. The surrounding area was also nice, close to many things: restaurants, sainsbury, paddington station and very buififul walking area. Finally it is very secure and save place
What could be improved: The key collection and return is from different location 5 minutes drive

"Excellent"
Perfect location. Very nice, fully stocked apartment. We were family of five and it worked out great.
What could be improved: A/C couldn’t keep it cool on hot days, however - easy to open all the windows and balcony doors and get a wonderful breeze through the apartment.

"Overall, good value for the money but there’s a few things to improve such as accurate bed listings and non slip pads in"
Multiple clean rooms, decent location, modern, some shops nearby
What could be improved: Only 1 king bed when 2 were listed, bathtubs were small and slippery, key retrieval is a mile away

"Though some things were not ideal we loved the apartment and would stay again!"
The location is perfect. Sheldon Square is a nice place to stay as it is away from the tourist hustle and bustle yet still is an active and pretty area. We enjoyed the terrace. Paddington station is close by. The size is good, it is a beautiful apartment. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was great.
What could be improved: The apartment is for up to six people yet there was only one key. Also only four dining room chairs and four terrace chairs, we could not all eat together.The tub in the hall bathroom was very slippery and dangerous. There was no instructions book on how to operate the lights, where to take trash, etc. Most short term rentals have "The Book"

"Brilliant spacious apartment. Nice stay. Lovely views."
Very easy to book. Easy to get keys and check in and out. Good communication with hosts. Brilliant location. It’s so close to Paddington station. Lovely secure campus with some shops in the amphitheatre such as Greggs, Sainsbury’s, pret and a few restaurants.
What could be improved: It would have been nice to have access to the car park. We had small children and parked a few streets away, which wasn’t too bad, but arriving late at night - car park access would have made it much easier- but it wasn’t a deal breaker at all. Would’ve liked it if we were told how to dispose of garbage- maybe something in the check in guide

"Very good"
Great location near Paddington Station and the canal. Supermarket and restaurants right downstairs. Good furniture and lighting (though we never fully understood the light switches). Nice kitchen and spacious balcony. Kind hosts who even brought us some treats!
What could be improved: The AC units are hard to control; they go on for a little while but then stop (indicator light starts blinking). We visited during a warm period so we were constantly having to open windows to get some breeze. Only one working elevator in the building, which was sometimes frustrating (particularly when the Amazon guys are hogging the elevator). The flat is a surprisingly long walk from the elevator, though tolerable. It's also about 0.5 km (10 minute walk through the station) to the shop where you pick up and return the keys.
