The staff were very accomodating & friendly - nothing was too much trouble.The triple room was large & comfortable. There were coffee facilities, a safe, hairdryer & plenty of storage space. The breakfast was excellent with both continental &... more

I travelled in the UK with my 11 year old son in December/january 09-2010. We stayed at the Darlington Hyde Park for two nights before catching the plane home. I chose this hotel from reviews on Tripadvisor of hotels in this area as I wanted to be able to get straight on the Heathrow express without having to workout timing... more

We recently travelled to London for a weekend break. We chose the Darlington as was a good price and included breakfast, which is quite uncommon. We had a great stay at the hotel. It is very clean and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The rooms had all you need and thought it was great value for money. The... more

This has taken a while to write, this is the second time I have stayed at the Darlington and would stay again. The location is great and this is my main reason for choosing this hotel. The family room we stayed in was perfect for my partner and I and two teenagers as we had separate rooms and a shared... more

I've stayed at this hotel on two previous occasions, this time for 4 days. Location is excellent, about 10 minute walk from Paddington railway and tube station. Buses run along the street. The streets are relatively well-lit at night, and I felt safe walking late at night. Hotel security is good with card access through frontdoor, lift and room. Single... more

The staff were courteous and profession on arrival and check in was quick. The rooms were large, spacious and spotlessly clean. Complimentary water was also available, which was welcome as the rooms tend to be... more

Prior to any of my trips whether for business or pleasure I go into Trip Advisor to view the latest reviews for the hotels that I will be staying at during the trip. I enjoy reading the reviews to see if others feel the same as I do about a certain hotel and I frequently find recommendations to restaurants located... more

We stayed for 6 nights in the Darlington Hotel. The location is perfect, you can easily hop on a bus or tube to travel through London. We travelled mostly by bus: in 15 minutes you can be in Notting Hill or Oxford Street. Perfect! We first stayed in room 10. This room was quiet and fresh, but hadn't much daylight.... more

Some hotels are not so good at twice the price. We had a lovely suite room,great bed, sofas, TV etc. and a spotlessly clean bathroom. Breakfast was very good, (sausage egg bacon mushrooms and tomatoes) and delightfully served in their very light and airy basement room. This is the third time we have stayed here and because of the location... more
