Everything about this establishment , to my well turned out room, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfasts bespoke the way a hotel should be run.

The Darlington is a great hotel close to Paddington, various restaurants and walking distance to Hyde Park and Oxford Street. The reception staff were very helpfull especially Carmen and Julia.

The Darlington is among many smaller hotels in converted row houses lining a street close to Paddington. The neighborhood mixes postcard London scenes with enough local restaurants and businesses to meet your needs. The hotel itself is perfectly clean and comfortable, the breakfasts are very good.

I got everything I was looking for - the hotel is less than a... More

(It would have been great to have an alarm clock as most hotels and guest houses do.) Otherwise, the room was clean and spacious, and the included breakfast was very good. The... More
