This is a lovely hotel in Paddington, close to all transport and within walking distance of Hyde Park and many shops and restaurants. It is a jewel amongst other hotels of a much lower classification. The manager is very approachable and will do his utmost to ensure your satisfaction.

I stayed at this hotel for five days in September with my boyfriend. We had a room on the third floor, which turned out to be of the perfect size for two people (may even be considered big for London standards; bear in mind that in some hotels you have to jump over the other person in order to be... more

Great location, comfortable, reasonably modern, clean and functional appointments.... more

Stayed in the Darlington Hyde Park Hotel with my family (my wife, me and three children) in the begining of August for 5 nights, had the chance to find out why everyone who stayed there writes so many good things about this hotel.
