What Lucio Wunsch likes about Royal Hotel Paddington:
Pretty straightforward pub-fare done very well. Can recommend the rump, great chips and an outstanding chimichurri sauce. Comfortable setting for 5 upstairs in a bright-airy space View all feedback. What Jesús Casares doesn't like about Royal Hotel Paddington:
This is basically an English style pub venue with reliable good pub grub (steak, bangers n mash, fish n chips etc). The location is good, and the rooftop is cool however its slightly pricey for all the above. Only buy beers from the ground floor... they are twice the price on the other floors which I find ridiculous. Good place overall. View all feedback.

The Royal is a pub that has gone through some changes over the years, but has now returned to its former glory under new management. The ambience is great, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is of high quality with generous portions. The menu offers a good selection and the service is quick, even during busy times. The rooftop provides lovely views and the prices are reasonable. Despite a few minor setbacks such as noise levels and incorrect orders, overall, The Royal offers a great dining experience with good energy and a welcoming atmosphere.

Came for a review in the newspaper about Wednesday Steaks. Loved the veranda views and food. But unfortunately, the Steak n chips were cold and chewing.

This is actually a pretty nice hotel, although it is not the most accessible. it could be if they live in the opposite, but it seems a distance from.
