Guest Reviews
- Lindsay (7/5): Had the best nights sleep in a long time - It was so near to the tube station and the receptionist that was on duty was so nice. Restaurant area was lovely and bright Sadly there had been a mix up which was my faultas I had booked the hotel twice we got refunded for one of the stays but unfortunately it was for the one that only had a continental breakfast. The lady said if we wanted anything extra we would have to pay individually for it. A slice of bacon was £3 which I thought was abit steep. But on the whole breakfast was fine although we did have to ask for more tomato sauce as the other sachets were out of date but as I say it was a lovely stay
- Jill (8/5): Top - Nice room Bij betalen voor english breakfast
- Liesbeth (7/5): -
- Sabrina (8/5): Due giorni bellissimi - Semplice, camere ben arredate, personale gentile, ottima posizione per la metro.
- takano (6/5): -
- Richard (8/5): -
- Ian (7/5): - Comfortable bed and clean.
Continental breakfast good, light airy breakfast room
Staff friendly. Room was okay, but decor could have done with a bit of TLC.
Shower was adequate, but would have been better with a walk in.
- Martina (8/5): -
- Antje (8/5): Schönes kleines Hotel in ruhiger Lage und sehr guter Anbindung ins Londoner Zentrum. - Schöne ruhige Lage, fussläufig zum Hydepark. Metro und Busse in alle Richtungen waren sehr gut in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. -
- Shirley (10/5): It was great. Would highly recommend the hotel. - Everything. It is an old manor house and you can feel the history in it. It was very well kept and very clean. The staff was very friendly. The high bathtub. Was a little hard to get in and out of.
- Anthony (8/5): -
- Virginie (8/5): -
- Kathleen (10/5): -
- Ottavia (7/5): Soggiorno gradevole - Hotel pulito e accogliente Buona posizione e servizi. Servizio di pulizia impeccabile. La colazione continentale era scarsa. Mancavano uova e latte caldo. Camere e bagno un po' stretti.
- Shirley (10/5): We had great stay. The breakfast was great. Would highly recommend. - It was very clean and well kept. The staff were extremely nice. Nothing
- Wendell (8/5): -
- Agnès (10/5): Escapade à Londres - Très bon emplacement, hôtel propre et confortable, personnel souriant et efficace.
- Miquel (8/5): - La ubicació és excelent . El personal molt agradable. La habitació és gran i practica No hi ha endolls al costat dels llits. Ni al lavabo
- Massaro (6/5): - La posizione e la pulizia La colazione era pessima, non soggiornare qui se avete voglia di una buona colazione.
Erano disponibili solo cornetti piccoli Messina torta nessun’altro dolce, c’era possibilità di avere solo latte caffè e the, inoltre per la colazione salate dovevi aggiungere un supplemento.
Non buono
- Paul (8/5): -
- Carlos Andre (8/5): Londres de passagem - Localização, café da manhã, sileêncio Banheiro apertado
- Maruta Priede (9/5): - Considering the price and the location of the hotel - a very good deal. Nice clean room, spacious bathroom with a window. Although it was an understandable practice, we were initially hoping for a more substantial breakfast (varies depending on where the reservation was made).
- Xavier (8/5): - Le petit déjeuner moyen car il fallait choisir entre Thé ou Café
- Edoardo (10/5): -
- Nekane (10/5): 100% recomendable! - La ubicación es perfecta, el personal super amable!, las habitaciones estan muy muy bien!!! y el desayuno es muy bueno! lo recomiendo 100%!
- Amit (6/5): - Clean, location It feels old and not well maintained. The staff at the morning dining room was not vert helpful.
- Sch. (8/5): -
- menten (8/5): Trop pauvre en choix - Le petit déjeuner est vraiment juste Un peu plus de choix même si on prend le déjeuner anglais celui ci n est pas terrible
- Małgorzata (10/5): - położenie koło stacji Peddington
Miła okolica, z mnóstwem lokali
Czysty pokój Brak słuchawki prysznicowej
Dość ubogie śniadanie kontynentalne
- Hanne Skov og Leif Ørum (8/5): -

- Carmen (8/5): Drei Nächte in London - Wir hatten in der Preislage noch kein Zimmer in London das so groß war. Wir konnten mühelos im Zimmer aneinander vorbeigehen ohne dem anderen im Weg zu stehen. Das Mobiliar schon etwas älter. Betten hatten sehr gute Matratzen, waren nicht durchgelegen. Auch das Badezimmer hatte die richtige Größe.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit.
Frühstücksraum ist sehr ansprechend und geräumig und immer Plätze frei. Die Auswahl am Frühstücksbuffet ist überschaubar, aber für jeden was dabei. Wer Frühstück über booking.com gebucht hat, bekommt continentales Frühstück, englisches Frühstück kann aber hinzugebucht werden.
Die Lage vom Hotel ist super, Paddington Station ist fußläufig schnell erreichbar. Schade war eigentlich nur, dass es zum Frühstück immer die gleiche Wurst und den gleichen Käse gab (Salami, eine Art Bierschinken und was, das Gouda ähnelt).
- Wee Seong (9/5): -
- MARIA (10/5): Tutto perfetto - Accogliente niente
- Sally (10/5): Perfect! - Great location, very clean. Exactly what we needed for overnight stay All good!
- Annika (8/5): Vi trivdes väldigt bra på hotellet och vill gärna komma tillbaka. - Närheten till Paddington station. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Välstädat rum. Enkel men god frukost.
Wifi fungerade inte sista dygnet men då fick vi logga in med personalens lösenord så vi kunde använda internet. Väldigt uppskattat! Mycket hårda sängar så ett tips är att införskaffa tjocka bäddmadrasser.
Hårfönen var väldigt dålig (den går nog snart sönder).
- Jeremy (8/5): Good value stay near Oaddington station - Clean, friendly, comfortable bed and summer duvet, excellent shower, great value continental breakfast No iron in room, and the one in the basement laundry room was poor, not steam. Hair dryer in bathroom not great.
- Andreas (9/5): Hotel mit Atmosphere - Schönes Gebäude, Hotel mit einem gewissen Charme, Das Zimmer überraschend groß. Mehr als ausreichendes Continental Frühstück inbegriffen, English Breakfeast und sonstiges extras auch gegen fairen Aufpreis zu haben. Alles in allen besser als die modernen 08/15 Hotels. Rezeption nach 22:00 hat ein paar Minuten gedauert, bis die Tür aufging.
- Marleen (10/5): - Klantvriiendelijkheid want ze waren erg behulpzaam als je een vraag had.
En natuurlijk goede bedden dus een goede nachtrust De verlichting op de gang tijdens de nacht.
Daardoor wat moelijker kunnen slapen.
En het geluid van de ventilator op de badkamer.
Ik moet s'nachts altijd wel een keer naar het toilet en dat geluud is dan wel hinderelijk als je wil slapen
- Cananau (9/5): В целом нормально. - Местоположение. Душ не понравился, канализация очень медленно работала, вода стекала тяжело.
- Elisa (9/5): - Camera Comfort Familiare molto ampia e spaziosa.
Buona la pulizia e la colazione inclusa nel prezzo. Ok la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli dopo il check out, ma dopo le 14:00 é a pagamento (5 sterline a bagaglio, lo zaino é considerato un bagaglio extra rispetto alla valigia). Considerando che vengono lasciati dietro alla reception magari terrei il servizio gratis.
Implementerei delle presa della corrente in bagno (non ce ne sono).

- cremagil (10/5): The perfect location for us. - From this ideal location we walked 5 to 6 miles a day, in addition to taking the train and tube to many highlights of London and Windsor. The hotel is an updated version of an old condo that was converted to a hotel years ago. It is old but well maintained and modernized within the confinements of the historical restrictive covenants that forbid AC units and significant improvements to the buildings exterior. The staff was genuinely attentive and friendly. A breakfast conservatory was a pleasant addition. The breakfast crew worked hard to cook all the orders to the satisfaction of the residents. The rooms were reasonably quiet but we're light sleepers so we brought a white noise machine and used it or the furnished room fan at night. We slept well. Plenty of restaurant's, bars, grocery stores and attractions are within an easy walk. In addition to all this the price was reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation largely due to this hotel.
- christelle (10/5): Séjour parfait - Quartier agréable, très joli et très calme. Beaucoup de restaurants et boutiques proches. Gare et parc de Paddington à deux pas! Chambres très propres, on y dort très bien.
- Claire (8/5): It was the perfect one night economical stay in London - Location was great and was economical Breakfast was average
- simonetta (10/5): Una bella location, calda ed accogliente - cortesia staff e colazione abbondante l'assenza del miscelatore nei rubinetti, ma credo siano standard edilizi del paese
- Kerstin (8/5): - Das Frühstück war einfach ,aber in Ordnung, das Personal war sehr freundlich.
Die Lage ist super,in 5 Minuten ist man zu Fuß an der Station Paddington, in ca 10 Minuten am Kensington Gardens,in 20 Minuten am der Bakerstreet,trotz der relativ zentralen Lage ,liegt das Hotel schön ruhig.
- Julie (10/5): Very enjoyable as used as our base for a weekend of theatre trips. - Clean and comfortable rooms The TV’s in the rooms were small and difficult to see as far away from the beds
- Anna (8/5): - Bra läge
- Ute (8/5): -
- Ivica (10/5): Great location, pleasant staff - The breakfast was within expectations. Didn't have any problems with beds. The room was clean and quiet and was cleaned every day. The location of the hotel is main reason we stayed here. The bedroom doors are on a mechanism that is quite strong and closes the doors immediately. Some kind of locking to keep the doors open wood be ok but it was nothing to ruin the overall experience.
- Marios (8/5): - Location was great and the room size was adequate. Breakfast is below average
- Karsten Theis (9/5): Skøn beliggenhed, tæt på alt. - Tæt på Paddington Station Intet
- Susan (8/5): Excellent location, friendly staff and a quiet room. - Location was excellent and a quick easy walk to Paddington Station. Room was quiet and breakfast was good. Breakfast area was bright and comfortable. Toilet and shower both worked well and the towels were unusually thick and fluffy. Could not turn off the heat in the bathroom. Room was quite warm despite chilly outside temperature so we had to keep the windows open and they rattled while open. Furniture looked worn out.
- Yolanda (6/5): - La ubicación Las ventanas no cierran y hace ruido y entra el aire.
Se oye mucho cuando andan los de arriba.
- lcht (8/5): - proximité des différentes actives à faire à londres // tout fait à pied chambre non insonorisé // si la chambre est face a la rue // on entend tout ce qui se passe dehors
- Conchi (8/5): Para ser Londres, repetiría - La ubicación, el barrio súper tranquilo. Las camas cómodas , habitación con calefacción , baño antiguo pero correcto. Tenía ascensor . Desayuno normalito pero correcto. Nos dejaron dejar las maletas hasta las 14 sin coste extra. Nada ruidoso La cortina de la bañera, que la ducha no era desmontable con lo que no podías ducharte sin mojarte el pelo.

- Cruiser817938 (10/5): Great Stay! - Loved my stay at The Darlington! Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Loved the location... Easy walking distance to Paddington Station and Underground with many restaurant options nearby. Would definitely stay again.
- Piga (7/5): - La posizione, zona molto tranquilla e collegata benissimo. Colazione da migliorare, poco varia, e poco ricca.
Gli infissi da rivedere, in camera nostra quando soffiava il vento, entrava aria gelida dell’esterno, e andrebbe messo il doppio vetro per insonorizzare, si sentivano troppi i rumori della strada.
- Eva (7/5): -
- Kai (7/5): -
- Nadja (7/5): - Det var rent och fräscht även om det var slitet. Läget vid paddington jättebra. Trångt. Mycket ljud både utifrån och från intilliggande rum. Ingen direkt lobby eller bar/restaurang.
- Sven (8/5): Hat uns gefallen. - Super Lage. Sauber. Etwas kleines Doppelbett.
Die Engländer können einfach kein Frühstück. Ansonsten schönes kleines Hotel.
- Pippo (10/5): -
- Valdiserri (7/5): - posizione top a 2 minuti dalla metro e stazione di paddington, a 2 minuti da vari pub e ristoranti, camere comode, avevamo una tripla con tre letti singoli la colazione continentale è inclusa nel prezzo dell' hotel, quindi molto conveniente però da bere di caldo è offerto solo caffe americano e latte. E'inoltre servito pane tostato integrale e non, non molto caldo. il buffet è piccolino ma con tutte le cose essenziali (yogurt in vasetto, brioche, frutta, pane, marmellata e burro),
- İkbal (10/5): -
- Giovanni (8/5): - Renovated breakfast room - no fry smell anymore When you book it’s included only continental breakfast and not English one ( you can have but it costs extra)
- Aurora (7/5): - Struttura in una buona posizione letteralmente a 5 minuti dalla stazione paddington, camera non troppo grande ma con tutti i comfort. La finestra della camera erano sottili quindi entrava aria. In generale camera fredda e durante la notte si sentiva tutto scricchiolare (pavimento, finestre, porte ecc.)
colazione non troppo ricca.
- Atle T (8/5): Conveniently located with exceptionally clean facilities. - Spotless and super-clean rooms, comfortable beds, very good shower (with bathtub) and bathroom facilities. The rooms (floor/ceilings) are not very soundproof, so people moving in the room above was very clearly heard in our room. Fortunately not very noisy guests, and they seemed to go to bed before it got too late, so not a big problem unless you need to go to sleep unusually early. The continental breakfast is quite limited (yes, I know it is supposed to be more limited than a full english breakfast), without any vegetables and not much variation of sliced ham/salami and cheese. Some cucumber, tomato and peppers could easily be added. Good service from the staff, though!
- İlker (8/5): -
- Karolina (7/5): -
- Ritix (7/5): - La ubicacion Las puertas de las habitaciones hacían mucho ruido
El desayuno era muy simple y nada variado
Y el poco interés de alguna trabajadora inglesa por hacer por entenderte
- Alessandra (9/5): Ottima Struttura ! Consigliata ! - Struttura molto pulita , camera ampia accogliente , a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione metro , zona tranquilla, forse un poco rumorose le camere che danno sulla strada principale , abbastanza trafficata, personale cordiale seppur molto “contenuto “ ma forse sono le nostre aspettative da italiani … È possibile lasciare i bagagli in reception dopo orario di check out , tuttavia bisogna pagare 5 sterline a bagaglio … avrei compreso se il prelievo venisse fatto dopo le 20 ( orario di termine del check out ) , ma per il prelievo nelle prime ore del pomeriggio mi sembra eccessivo …

- eggbew (10/5): Lovely hotel in a really convenient location - As always, this hotel maintains the high standards we have come to expect. Very clean and well maintained with friendly staff. Excellent breakfast room with a good choice of breakfast.
- nohelymi (10/5): Best Value for a Budget Friendly London Trip - Perfect location near Paddington station. You can go anywhere a few steps away from the hotel. The area was quiet, clean and beautiful. The rooms were small but comfortable. Our family of four adults stayed in their Quad Room. It was fantastic. The service and staff were amazing and the breakfast delicious. This hotel is the best value, will absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone.

- Claudio (7/5): - posizione ottima in zona comoda tranquilla ben collegata e ben servita
rapporto qualità prezzo camera rumorosa
colazione non abbondante con poca scelta
- Noemí (8/5): -
- Tímea (8/5): - Két különálló ágyas szobában voltunk. A szoba londoni mértékkel mérve nagy volt. Fürdőkádas, ablakos fürdőszoba. A fűtés is remek volt. Belső udvarra nézett, csendes volt. Az ágy kényelmes Nagyon hallatszott a fenti szobában lakók mozgása, gondolom, a régi épület miatt. A reggeli két éjszakát maradva, rendben volt, de ha több napig kellett volna maradni, nagyon unalmas. Zöldség nem volt. Viszont jó pont a frissen pucolt grapefruitért, hogy nem csak édes konzervgyümölcsöt tettek ki. Mi nem kértünk angol reggelit.
- BigMNorway (8/5): Cozy, convenient and reasonably priced hotel. - The Darlington is a friendly and convenient hotel. I have stayed here for years and am always pleased. I have stayed in many rooms and all have been fine. The personnel is accommodating and always willing to help. This is a not a five star hotel but a cozy, convenient and reasonably priced one.
- Vicki (10/5): - Lovely clean rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Great location. No plugs near to bed but not the end of the world.
- PIERO MORENO (9/5): Molto buono - Camera spaziosa, colazione internazionale e gentilezza dello staff. Cuscini duri.
- Marisa (10/5): - Silenziosa. Centrale.
