We loved this hotel and would recomend it to anyone traveling to London on Business or pleasure. The staff were excellent. Mostly young girls from Eastern Europe. They were friendly and kind and could not do enough for you. Hotel manager (an Englishman) was also very friendly and helpful. The full English breakfast was great and included in the price... More

Visiting London at least once each year for the last 10 years, been staying in different kind of hotels all over town, must say the Darlington Hyde Park is the best ROI for me when in London! Great location, just 10 min from Paddington or Lancaster tube, nice, quite and clean accomodation and with great breakfast downstears. Darlington is my... More

We had a very nice experience at this hotel. A very pretty room and an unexpected and very welcome bathtub! The bed was a little small, a full queen would have been nice, but we were still very comfortable and slept well after log days sightseeing. It was also good to get a hot full breakfast each day as part... More

My wife, daughter and I have just returned from a 3 night stay in this hotel. Everything about this hotel was first class, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The staff were friendly helpful and very professional. We were accommodated in a family room that had 2 separate rooms (one double and 1 single). That meant... More

We were very pleased with our accomadations. The management and staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was pleasant and management asked if there was anything special that we would like that was not on the menu. The location was convenient to several restaurants, tube an train stations. We would definitely stay here again. More

Our five day stay in early April 2012 was the fourth over the past five years. Like other reviewers, who have returned once again, my wife and I agree with them that The Darlington is getting better. Each year we have seen the renovations designed to improve the quality of the accommodation. This year we noticed the hotel were replacing... More

Fantastic find in Paddington. I've stayed in Paddington before, but not at this hotel. If I ever stay in Paddington again, I'll be sure to re-book here. Great location, HUGE rooms (by London standards. You normally get to stay in shoe boxes...). Warm, clean, friendly staff, good breakfast. Thanks so much! More

Had a great experience at the Darlington. The room was great, wasn't too small. The facilities are clean and they put up a great breakfast for guests. The hotel is only 2 min from Paddington station so it's very easy to get around the city. highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to London More
