My stay at the Duke Of Leinster Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the convenient location near Paddington station made it easy to explore London, I encountered several issues with my room. The room was quite small, and the inadequate ventilation made it unbearably hot. Although the staff were friendly and breakfast was decent, overall, I was left wanting more from my experience. 😕
