People with food allergies beware! I came here for a family meal and everything was great, up until…read moreI tasted a main dish (chicken karahi) that, according to their allergen menu, was nut free, however I developed an allergic reaction almost instantly. I quickly took some antihistamines, and spoke to a waiter who immediately got on the defence, but after insisting that I was indeed having a reaction (just because you can't see it on my face, doesn't mean it's not occurring inside), he spoke to the chef. When he returned the table, he began suggesting that perhaps I mixed spoons or cross contaminated the food myself. Yup, that totally happened to someone, living 25 years with a severe nut allergy. I totally understand that there's no guarantee, and I always take that into account. However I still always take extra precautions and choose dishes that are less likely to contain nut ingredients. As the waiter was in defence mode throughout, nothing came out of me reporting that incident to him. I'm pretty appalled with the way this was handled, especially in suggesting it could have been my fault and not taking any responsibility of a mistake that could indeed have happened in the kitchen. Other than that, I didn't believe the food was anything exceptional as a couple dishes (namely the palak paneer) did not look or taste fresh at all. The 2 stars are simply for the rest of my family suggesting the food was decent-ish. side note: the allergen menu contained various spelling mistakes to which one of my family members joked about trusting whether it was accurate...probably should have taken him seriously.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for 4 days in March 2014. We were treated like royalty by…read morestaff that seemed genuinely happy to be employed at The Mehfil. Places where the attitude is genuinely friendly and welcoming to its guests, but never too familiar are rare to come by, but at The Mehfil you'll find it. The food is a different chapter altogether. For breakfast we chose piping hot stuffed (potato or cauliflower) Parathas, which was served with yoghurt and a delicious tangy pickle. This was so yummy that we didn't even try their alternative, the full English breakfast, but i have to admit that from what i could see when i glanced briefly at the plates of other guests, it looked really good too. The Mehfil is food heaven if you're a fan of the Indian kitchen. When I think of us eating our evening meals there, I remember in a blur one sumptuous, gorgeous looking and divine- tasting meal after the other served by attentive waiters, and I really hope it's possible to attach pictures from my phone's gallery when I'm done writing. I will recommend this place no end, and look forward to our next visit. Incidentally, it's easy to get from the Mehfil to London Paddington. A 5 minute walk to the station, a 15 minute train ride and you're there, right in the centre of the touristy area, if that's what you're looking for.

A spacious clean hotel - taking into account the category it is in we were surprised that the rooms…read moreare cleaned daily and towels are changed every day as well. Well, actually there was nowhere to hang them, so we really appreciated their replacement Moderate, but sufficient breakfast, WiFi everywhere - absolute satisfaction. Prostorný, čistý hotel - vzhledem ke kategorii nás překvapilo, že denně uklízejí pokoje a denně vyměňují ručníky. No, oni vlastně nebyly kam pověsit, tak jsme to zvlášť ocenili :D Střídmé ale postačující snídaně, wifi všude - naprostá spokojenost.

Good rooms, decent price, and a complete breakfast. We were traveling with our daughter so we got a room for 3. The hotel does have a luggage storage room, which we used. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Notting Hill tube stop.

This is a cute budget hotel. The first night I booked a single and it was REALLY tiny, but the next…read moretwo nights I had a triple with my friends and the room was huge. The hotel is in a historic old house so there are a lot of stairs and the rug is a bit shabby, but it's clean and comfortable and the staff was helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay in this hotel again.

Think of this as being exactly what it is, and you won't be disappointed…read more This is a large hotel, or more accurately I would say guest house, about 75 yds from Paddington station, in a quiet little square. Remember that this is at the budget end of the market for London, but, the room we had was good with a view out over the park, the breakfasts were excellent, rooms are serviced every day and clean. Another huge advantage is the close proximity to the Underground system - your passport to just about anywhere in London. Don't anticipate portergae, lifts or tea & coffee in the bedroom and you will like this place. £94 per night, double, B&B, location, location, location as they say. I'd certainly use it again.

We wanted a low cost hotel near Paddington (for quick access to Heathrow the next morning) and…read morereally lucked out, finding this place. They charged 85 GBPs for the double room -- it was clean and comfortable. No frills (no shampoo or tea in the room, for example) but really, we just wanted someplace to crash before our travel day. They have a free "full English cooked" breakfast -- it was great -- plenty of food and very good. (and there's the tea we *didn't* get in our room! :) The windows in our room opened, so we were pleased to have fresh air. It's SO close to Paddington -- wow -- very easy to get on the Heathrow Express from Norfolk Square. The man at the desk was nice -- at our request, he printed our airline boarding passes for us. The web site was a bit "fussy" -- I couldn't get it to actually make the reservation. But I easily got a message to them from the "contact" page, and they emailed the reservation confirmation a few hours later. We booked the room only one week in advance, for late August -- they had vacancies, thank goodness. By the way, I think this is the third time we've stayed there -- they even said they remembered us!
