We recently visited for our second stay of 3 nights here. The staff, reception, breakfast are all great, however we were disappointed with our room as it was at the back of the hotel and dark (needed lights on all day )with a window to the centre of the hotel overlooking the hotel's heating shafts which operated all day and...

We were very pleased with our stay at Darlington Hyde Park and would definitely recommend this hotel. We had two rooms a double and a family room. Both rooms were very clean and comfortable. It was a few minutes walk to Paddington Station and the underground. Lots of resturaunts and small shops within walking distance. Hyde Park a short walk.... More

We stayed four nights in this small hotel. Staff aims to please. Checkin is quick. Breakfast is served with a smile. Full Englishbreakfast or continental as you wish. We took the Heathrow express from the airport and walked from Paddington Station. Quite neighborhood.

A simple, clean and good-value-for-money hotel located within walking distance of Paddington Station. The room was modest but appropriate for the price, and the breakfast was excellent. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Good all rounder.

Just returned from 2 nights in Darlington Hyde Park and was so impressed. Had triple room with two friends and while it was in the basement it was fresh and airy with 3 windows to open. Biggest plus for me was cleanliness. Everything was spotless. Beds were comfortable and plenty of space and storage for three people. 15 minutes walk... More

Just pick your average cheap motel, like for instance a Motel 6 in the US. That is the sort of room you get in this hotel. Although the staff is friendly and the location is good, the hotel doesn't stand out in anything. The room is old, not to small though. The size of the TV was smaller than my... More

I remembered my time in London many years and recall Paddington as a trendy little town. BOY was I mistaken. The entire area is now run down and dilapidated. The hotel dates back to the fifties and has never been refurbished. I am convinced still with the same original furnishings. My brother was staying at the Europa hotel 6 doors... More

We stayed at the The Darlington Hyde Park Hotel six nights. It was our second time at this hotel. Our room was a double room on the second floor and it was nice.
