Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great hotel in great location. A 2 minute walk to Paddington Station and a short walk to Buckingham Palace, Oxford St, Kensington Palace and The Natural History museum. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, and the staff was very helpful!

A very comfortable hotel with all the basics covered. Delicious breakfast included - full English if you book through their website.Easy walk to Paddington and Lancaster Gate stations as well as Kensington Gardens. Staff is friendly and I feel safe here as a solo traveler.

Our second stay at the Darlington and we were glad we made the choice to return. They were super from start to finish. They were more than happy to look after our bags before and after check in and check out so we could make the most of our stay in London without being burdened by them. In fact, they allowed us to check in early as our room was ready. All the staff were so helpful and friendly and the hotel has a fantastic location with only a short walk to Paddington for the tube and train and great access to the bus network making it an ideal base for a trip to the city.

Lovely small hotel in a great location, walking distance from Paddingon Station (and Lancaster Gate station as well). The neighborhood was pretty and felt safe. The room was clean and well equipped. Staff was professional. Overall, a great stay!

We had a family room which was quite spacious with a windowless bathroom in between the rooms on the ground floor. Over the three days we were there the rooms were not cleaned and bath towels were not replaced - this was not mentioned when we checked in and I only discovered that this service was not offered by checking the website (which had been updated since I had booked the room).. I think this aspect should have been mentioned to us upon check-in. Hot English breakfast was very good, but limited selection of continental breakfast. Position is perfect for traveling into London as Paddington Station is 5 mins walk away from the hotel.

The Darlington Hotel is in a great location - close to Paddington Station, Oxford St, Hyde Park and within easy walking distance to many sites. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Booking through the hotel website gives you full English breakfast as well as continental. We stayed in the hotel in 2018 and were very pleased to be able to stay again in 2023.

Good location, close to 3 Tube stations and the train We were in 205, with a double bed in one room, a bathroom opposite the hall door, and two singles in the larger room that had the only closet. This would have been fine except for the allegedly-mandatory fire doors INSIDE the suite. The builders must have caught some frustrated jobsworth on a bad day when they were told that all three rooms in the suite had to have a heavy self-closing door that would seriously impair people's exit in an emergency. They would not give us a doorstop - regulations again - despite having two of same in plain sight in the lobby. These doors made the room difficult and frustrating to use, and also meant that we couldn't get any airflow. The only options for cooling the rooms were the windows, and with the doors all closed there was no way to get fresh air moving. Our room was uncomfortably warm in late September; I shudder to think what it's like in hot weather. The beds were fine. One of us said the pillow was a bit odd. Breakfast was fine, with a full one included if you book directly with the hotel. The morning staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, that particular room is not acceptable, and I suspect that in hot weather they all might be challenging. To be fair, does any other reasonably-priced place in a good location offer anything better?

The Darlington Hyde Park is a charming little hotel located a short walk from Paddington Station. The staff is friendly, service is quick and efficient, and the full English Breakfast prepared to your liking. The neighborhood has a number of interesting pubs and excellent small dining establishments. It's not your thing if you want all the amenities of a four or five star hotel, but if you are looking for quaint London housing for a few days a couple of blocks from one of the city's best transportation hubs, (e.g. Heathrow airport is a quick easy ride on the new Elizabeth underground line), the Darlington is ideal.

I have stayed here many times; it's mid-priced and decent, with a good breakfast and pleasant, clean, if basic, rooms. The service is good and the staff pleasant and helpful, and the location is convenient for the Elizabeth line and other Paddington trains.
