We booked two nights at this hotel because of its proximity to Paddington Station and the excellent reviews in TripAdvisor. The hotel is pretty and has been updated on the inside. Our room was a large suite with a living room and a bedroom, and a nice bathroom. On the whole, the living quarters are above average and well worth... more

My husband and I have just returned from staying at the Darlington for a couple of nights. We chose it for its location, and because of the glowing reviews on TA.What a fantastic hotel, it certainly lived up to expectation. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and friendly. The bedroom was a really good size, and everything was spotlessly... more

What a lovely hotel at a reasonable price. Won't stay anywhere else in London after this lovely experience. We arrived and the first thing seen was a fire in the grate and a big smile from the receptionist who proved to be so helpful answering all our questions and going to some trouble to find one she didn't know. Walked... more

After reading other guests review, we were sure about choosing the right hotel in London. But we regret....The room was ok, even the standard could not be 4 stars hotel-room. The trouble started at night-time,- the room turned to busy Sussex Gardens, and the windows had no isolation. It was impossible to sleep when a window was open, but we... more

We stayed here for the third time and we still like it. The hotel is situated at app. a 10 min. walk from Paddington station. It's a nice neighbourhood. The hotel and rooms are clean. The staff is very friendly en helpfull. Breakfast is good. There is great variety; fruit, full english breakfast, juices, cereals etc etc more

We booked a last minute room after having to leave a bed and breakfast that we were not happy with. We were very lucky to get a rock bottom price of 95 pounds including breakfast and one of the very large rooms. This is the 4th time we have stayed here over 7 years and though the room size varies... more

Two friends and I stayed at the Darlington recently. I had come across this hotel after searching for hotels on this site. After reading a lot of the reviews from previous guests I booked a reservation. We had a room with three twin beds and it was large enough for three men to fit in comfortably and without feeling cramped.... more

Tripadvisor revues helped us select this as good, position, service and price. The hotel location is within easy walking distance from Paddington station and the many cafes and restaurants in the area. We had a ground floor room on Sussex Gardens and were concerned that the traffic noise would be a problem...It was not! Room size a little small but... more

I had four nights at the Darlington in September 2008 and give it my unqualified recommendation. It is ideally situated for those arriving or departing by the Heathrow express at Paddington, and is only a short walk from the Paddington and Lancaster gate tube stations. The housekeeping is of the highest standard, the breakfast, (cooked or continental) is served in... more
