My husband and I chose a twin bed room and were very pleased to have a large room on the third floor. Comfortable mattresses, clean & crisp linens, good shower pressure, excellent breakfast choices are some of the great things about the Darlington. We also were pleased with the proximity to Hyde and Kensington Parks as well as Paddington station.

This was my first solo female trip and I was more than concerned about many things, namely getting a good night sleep in a safe hotel. Hotel Darlingtons staff was so welcoming and friendly that I immediately felt at home and safe. They assisted with everything I could have imagined and more. There were many families staying at the hotel and it was very quiet. The neighborhood was great and safe. I never felt uneasy during my stay! Thank you specifically to the two gentleman at the front desk, they always were more than insightful and helpful. Thank you hotel Darlington!

There's a lot of these buildings around this area white Georgian building converted into flats or hotels. This is one of the nicest, Despite being on a main road and my room was next to the lift I slept well with no complaints. The Hotel was very safe and secure. The location was in a very convenient area of Paddington close to the Elizabeth line. Breakfast was adequate you had to pay extra for a full English, but I only required some cereal and a croissant. I did go at 7:30 am every morning. I suspect due to the size of the breakfast bar it night get a bit hectic later in the morining.

Stayed the one night as a pit stop before my flight home but would definitely stay again as it's a very convenient location near Paddington station. Friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms, I had a single which was enough for myself who travels light , the bathroom was a decent size.

This was a very nice hotel in Hyde park, quiet area and comfortable rooms, we got the quadruple room which wound up being two separate rooms in a suite with a bath, which was perfect for a family of 4 with two kids. The continental breakfast was pretty good as well. Only issue is you do have to take metro or bus to get to the really big attractions, walking takes about half an hour so kids were pretty tired on the way to all the sights when we walked. Hyde park is very close though and a great park to walk through and enjoy nature. Lots of shopping and restaurants all around as well.

Bland room decor made up for by cheery staff membe
Outside looks lovely. Bedroom was disappointing. Room decor bland and boring. Bed was a standard double bed. Which I had booked! However we realise that no matter how comfy the bed is you cannot fit a 6’4” person and 5’4” partner without compromising one person’s sleep and space in the bed. Note to self if paying nearly £200 a night at least book a King Size room! TV was small (my kitchen TV is bigger!). That said the room, although tired, was clean and as there’s no daily cleaning there was enough towels to cover our days booked. The shower was powerful. Continental breakfast was more than adequate but would have liked Nutella and Philadelphia for my toast/croissant and maybe berries. Still didn’t understand why booking direct to hotel included full English when I paid nearly £200 a night and got toast and single sliced hard cheese! That said, we loved the happy cheery staff and would be happy to stay again!

The property in nice and free English breakfast when booked directly is very good. However in the summer months be aware there is no AC and the windows do not open all the way making air circulation difficult when it cools off in the evenings. Fans are provided though to help. Staff is great!

Clean property but no air conditioning and in the height of summer was a nightmare for me personally as I had no sleep and ended up changing hotels. I failed to notice on the website they did not have it so its on me other than that basic but decent.

Good location 6 minute walk from paddington station. Friendly staff and room clean and modern. Shower good. The one thing I did not like was the differential between agency bookings regarding breakfasts. You had to decide on full English the night before and this meant I went out for breakfast instead of staying in the hotel. They need to review when you can decide what breakfast you want. I would stay again and would recommend this hotel to fellow travelers.

On arrival after an easy walk from Paddington Station, Janos greeted us and set the stage for a wonderful stay at this smaller, well-located hotel. Janos was an excellent source of information for our stay. All the staff is nice- The breakfast lady, and Domenica at our final day. There are updated bathrooms, but in a tiny Victorian original footprint. Everything is clean.The beds are double only in a double room, but you have high ceilings and plaster moldings.It is easy to get anywhere in the city by using the Paddington Metro location and 8 minute walk to Hyde Park. Hotels in London are outrageous prices, but this is a good value.We plan to return.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Transit is easy to access. There is also small grocery stores nearby for essentials. I appreciated that my small room had its own private toilet and shower. A short walk to Edgeware Rd and the Marble Arch area with shopping. However, both of these areas are not so nice. Keep an eye on your bag and watch out for pickpockets! If you feel someone walking too close behind you they are probably trying to rip you off. I witnessed this first hand.

We loved the location of this property, Paddington overlander and underground is 5 minute walk. Buses also close by. We had a spacious two bedroom apartment for our family of four. No kitchen, but two big rooms and bathroom. The continental breakfast included was lovely. Guest laundry if needed. No parking on site No daily room service either (we weren't bothered but others may be)
