Äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit Tolle Lage; man ist in kürzester Zeit an allen U-Bahnen und das nächste Parkhaus ist ca 10 Min entfernt
Great location for everything including Hyde Park Room was great and very clean
Unfortunately we stayed during the 2 hottest days in June 2026 and although it was clear that there wasn’t any air conditioning in the room a fan was supplied but it was extremely hot in the room! Nothing could be done but I will definitely reconsider going again if it’s that hot again! Otherwise I would highly recommend it!!
Szép, kényelmes nagy szoba, jó felszereltség. A samponok es szappanok utánpótlása mindennapos volt. A személyzet nagyon kedves, segítőkész. A kontinentális reggeli nem igazan választékos, de bőséges és finom, jó minőségű. Tea viszont csak zold es fekete volt - ezt sajnáltam, eppen Londonban, az ember arra számít hogy teából legalabb bőséges valasztekot kap.
Accogliente,pulito, silenzioso .
Forse un po’ le finestre non si aprivano tanto
LAGE - war nahe des Bahnhofes Paddington und etliche Bushaltestellen in der Nähe, gute Möglichkeiten zum Essen gehen und einkaufen von Lebensmitteln ZIMMER - der Kühlschrank war toll - Tee/Kaffee war immer zur Verfügung - das Zusatzbett war komfortabel
FRÜHSTÜCK - wenig Abwechslung - immer das Gleiche (Schinken, Salami, Käse, Toast, Aufbackbrötchen - keine Abwechslung) Wenig Abwechslung beim Obst - kein Gemüse, unfreundliches Personal - immer am Handy ZIMMER - Doppelbett zu schmal - man hatte das Gefühl runter zu fallen
We were upgraded to a lovely large room. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Great location so close to Paddington Station and beautiful Hyde Park. Handy connections to Heathrow.
Nothing to report
Bardzo czysty hotel, wspaniały personel, doskonała lokalizacja. Śniadania kontynentalne bardzo dobre.
Łóżka w pokoju dwuosobowym są za małe, żeby dwie dorosłe osoby komfortowo spały
Localització convenient per a visitar Londres, instal·lacions còmodes i netes, personal amable. L'esmorzar estava bé.
Amb les altes temperatures d'aquest estiu, feia calor a les habitacions.
Colazione nel complesso buona , albero situato in un bel viale posizione ottima a pochi istanti dalla stazione di paddington personale super cortese e disponibile , gentilissimo e preparato
Non aveva difetti
Location
There was nothing to dislike
We liked the location, the spaciousness of the rooms, the elevator, cleanliness and comfort.
We weren't clear why we would have to pay for the "complimentary" English breakfast because we hadn't "booked directly."
The location is perfect. Most of the major tourist attractions are in a walking distance. The building is very nice, with a true English spirit.
No air conditioning in the rooms, which was bearable, because we avoided the heatwaves, but in case of hot weather it might be very difficult.
L’emplacement au top, le petit dej est très bien aussi, les chambres sont spacieuses
Un peu de bruit, un peu vieillot
Location was good, near to Paddington station. Amenities were not excellent, we didn't have air conditioning in the room and the temperature outside was hot during our stay. The room was clean. Breakfast was okay, we enjoyed the free English breakfast when booking online.
Posizione
Camera all’ultimo piano con due piccole finestre, purtroppo per me non mi ero accorta dal sito che non hanno aria condizionata e abbiamo sofferto il caldo di notte, fortunatamente che durante il giorno eravamo in giro altrimenti sarebbe stato problematico stare in hotel
Easy access to public transport and historical areas like Hyde Park, The National Museum, and Buckingham Palace.
There is only one outlet in the room with the full sized bed which makes it difficult to charge phones and use the fan or TV at the same time.
walking distance to Paddington Station, size of the room, easy check-in and check-out
breakfast was rather minimalstic, would skip it next time
Camera grande

La ubicación es ideal. Zona muy tranquila para descansar.
The Darlington is one of many hotels in Sussex Gardens, but it's distinguished by very pleasant rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and terrific breakfasts which are included if you book direct. Perfectly situated close to Paddington Station and convenient to the Tube to get around London and see the sights, plus it was quiet at night and we slept well in the comfortably appointed room.
Super Lage Nähe Padington Station.

La.pulizia
Privi di aria condizionata abbiamo sofferto il caldo
The staff were lovely and very friendly. The room was clean and we had all the basics we needed, including soap and shower gel. The continental breakfast was sufficient and we could have ordered the cooked breakfast if we had wanted. The checkout time was not too early and to be able to drop off or leave our bags at the hotel while we went out on our first and final days was really useful. It is a perfect location for walking anywhere in Central London or travelling to and from Paddington.
The fridge didn't really work and despite being given fans, the room was boiling as there was no fresh air coming in from the windows, due to the position of the room. The breakfast was fine but the tea was horrible! Probably the worst I've ever had! The staff were great though.
La ubicación, amplitud de la habitación y limpieza. Personal muy amable
Hizo mucho calor en Londres y la habitación contaba con dos ventiladores pero estos eran muy ruidosos, no se podía dormir con ellos
Great location.
While everyone understands that there was a heatwave, it was impossible to stay in the rooms during those couple of days. No air conditioning, windows opening only a few centimeters. There was a standing ventilator in the room but too little for how hot was in the room
Booking-in staff member was great
Dirty room, dated, hot, lack of security, poor condition of room, bathroom dire
Spacious room with large ensuite Great location, walking distance to Hyde park.

Está molt ben situar i net
El servei es molt sec, correcte pero sense gaires explicacions de res
La ubicación y muy aseado
Poner un mejor ventilador, en dias de calor era muy ruidoso y venteaba poco
La posizione. L'hotel e' vicino a Hyde Park.
La camera e' piccolissima. Non c'e' la doccia e non c'e' l'aria condizionata. La colazione e' molto deludente.
Posizione pulizia e colazione (semplice ma buona)
Front of house staff really helpful and friendly. Dining staff attentive. The room was basic with no air con. Fan provides offered minimal comfort. Bathroom we asked for accessible shower but given one over the bath with an incredibly high step. The TV is far too small for the size of the room. Quality of cooked breakfast was poor value for money. Location is good as close to station and Hyde Park. If we did stay again, it would not be in the summer as the room was uncomfortably hot and we did not sleep well.
・パディントンからの立地がかなり良く、ハイドパークにも近い点 ・フロントスタッフの対応 ・ビュッフェの朝食でまるごとの果物などが選べて良かったです。
・エアコンがない ・暑い日だったため窓を開けておいてくれていたのですが、2階の部屋で柵などもなく直に窓がオープンになっていたため防犯面で不安を感じました。 ・施設の設備は最低限という感じでした。
Beliggenheden
I boede i kælderen. Morgenmaden var uinspirerende og der blev ryddet af på minuttet 9.30
Wash clean
The bed was tiny Tv was size of postage stamp The toilet room holder was in mad place and kept banging our elbow on it
We liked the Reception staff. The room was cool and a good size
I had emailed in advance to check that they could provide a gluten free and dairy free continental breakfast. I received an email assuring me that gluten free cereals and bread were available and soya milk. We went to breakfast and met quite unhelpful staff who initially asked if my two daughters wanted white or brown toast. They then said they only had a few slices of brown gluten free bread which was duly toasted There were no gluten free cereals or soya milk available so they both had two slices of gluten free bread toast and a glass of fruit juice for £13. One of my daughters did ask for fried egg and was initially told that's an extra £3 which your lovely receptionist didn't charge us for on leaving. Considering the fact that they had so much notice (I booked ages ago) the breakfast for me was fine but so disappointing for my daughters. Had we known that no effort was being made to provide a reasonable breakfast for the price we would have not included it and bought something delicious and at similar cost else in London. We are all really disappointed with it. The coffee wasn't great either as it was cold. Sorry wouldn't recommend this to other GF/dairy sensitive folk.
Staff were lovely
Bed was lumpy, room was hot, no air con or fan, expensive for what it was
Store værelser, rigtig god beliggenhed
Fin, men simpel og lidt kedelig morgenmad
Amazing location, about 5 minutes away from the Paddington Station which makes it very easy to get anywhere. The staff was nice and the room and hotel were very clean. Felt very safe while solo travelling and would recommend it for anyone doing it too. The only thing that was less positive was the lack of air conditioner, which made it difficult to deal with the heatwave. Besides that, I'd just like if there were a bit more breakfast options but this is just a small detail. Overall it was a very positive experience!
Attentive staff, room was clean
Room is small, probably would have felt roomier if the bed was placed in a corner of the room. I arrived during the severe heatwaves that hit London last week and could barely open the window the get any relief (the window was bolted in so couldn't open it all the way). No AC. I traveled for business so it was not as comfortable of a stay as I would have wished.
The continental breakfast wasn’t great not a big selection no fresh breads
The location was perfect for attending a concert in Hyde Park and close to Paddington Station. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good.
There was no air conditioning in the room. It was a very hot day and night. A fan was provided but it was very noisy.
Location to Paddington and hyde park amazing
Rooms like ovens, 2 ill working fans
De i resepsjonen var veldig hyggelige og imøtekommende mot oss. Og gåavstand til tog og undergrunn
Var der under hetebølgen og hotellet hadde ikkje aircondition, noe som gjorde det uutholdelig om kvelden/natten da det var rundt 40°c på rommet. Et annet minus var at det var opplyst ved bestilling av rom at frukost var inkludert, men siden eg hadde bestilt via booking.no var det «kun» tørre skiver med ost og skinke som pålegg. Savnet litt mer utvalg.
Shower was ok
Room was small , hot and stuffy windows only open about 6 inches , never sweated so much in my life , booking said breakfast included but was only continental, full English is £13.50 extra , they did honour us a full English on the second day when they realised I paid £1200 for 3 rooms but breakfast was terrible , expected better for the price we paid
Posizione strategica. Vicinissima a hyde park, nei dintorni ci sono le fermate di autobus e di tutte le metro utili a raggiungere i punti di interesse. Struttura molto pulita e accogliente. Camere comode e dotate di tutti i comfort, bagni puliti e funzionali. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo per essere in zona 1 di Londra, inoltre è molto apprezzata la colazione inclusa (basica, ma è pur sempre qualcosa)
Potrebbe essere arricchita la soluzione
Que estaba cerca de estación de tren y metro
Habitación pequeña y baño más
L’accueil du personnel l’emplacement la propreté
La chambre était situé sous l’accueil de l’établissement et ça été très bruyant pour nous. Valises qui roulent surtout.
酒店位置很好,距离Paddington站很近
1、酒店好像是老式住宅改造的,晚上地板发出响声,很害怕。2、酒店分为欧陆式早晨和Full English Breakfast,最好可以现场选择早餐。3、欧陆式早餐,toast和tea是免费的,这个没有明确标注。我们一直以为是收费项目。
Sijainti, tyyli ja siisteys.
Hotellihuone oli helteellä todella kuuma. Mannermainen aamiainen oli mielestäni varsin vaatimaton.
Perfect location, very nice staff!!
It was too hot and just one small fen, no air conditions, the price is high for the hotel no air conditioning Breakfast is included but if you book trew hotel you have English breakfast, if you want eggs you need to pay extra. Booked with booking it's just continental breakfast, why selection??? But it's just small complaint. I would like to go back but not when is 30C no air conditioning .
We had a great stay at The Darlington on our week long trip to London. We weren't sure what to expect given other reviews and knowing there was no A/C, but we were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our stay. The temperatures during our trip ranged from 68-80 degrees fahrenheit, and we were still reasonably comfortable, but did keep the fan running and windows open the entire stay. The rooms were a little small, especially with our large luggage, but we made it work. The complementary breakfast for booking direct was a nice option to have available every morning. We loved the area, very close to Paddington Station and Hyde Park, while also being on a quieter street that felt very safe. Our room was serviced every day and felt very clean. If you go to Ask Italian during your stay, make sure to let them know you are staying at The Darlington to receive a discount on your meal. Overall it was a great value & location for our stay and we would be back in a heartbeat!
Bölge ve konum olarak inanılmaz iyiydi, çok güvenli ve sessiz sakin bir yerdi. Odalar küçüktü ama 2 kişi 2 bavulla gayet de sığdık.Tekrar gelsem yine konaklamak isterim.
Beğenmediğim bir şey yoktu diyebilirim☺️
L'albergo si trova in ottima posizione vicino alla stazione dei treni, metro e autobus. Camera grande e spaziosa per una famiglia di 4 persone.
Camere poco insonorizzate tra loro e con l'esterno al lato strada. Colazione continentale ripetitiva e con poca scelta.
Nice place
Everything was good
Good location.
Very tired. Room was odd layout and breakfast was pretty limited.
Les deux portes des chambres,pas ergonomique
Gute Lage, Bus praktisch vor der Tür, Paddington Station 3 Minuten entfernt. Ein klassisches Hotel inmitten unzähliger Hotels, für Londoner Verhältnisse geräumige Zimmer mit Fenstern, die zum Öffnen sind! 3 Einzelbetten, die alle gleichwertig und bequem sind. Ideal für einen FreundInnen-Trip. Obwohl Zimmer im Souterrain, ist es hell und nicht muffig.
Personal beim Frühstück nicht besonders freundlich. Achtung: Bei direkter Buchung ist das Full Englisch Breakfast inklusive. Sonst Continental Frühstück. Für 3-4 Tage okay.
Gute Lage, sauber und ausreichend ausgestattet. Koffer konnten problemlos zwischengelagert werden bis zur Abreise.
Leider nur Kontinentales Frühstück inklusive
Close to Paddington Station. Clean.
Internet was terrible. Protocols to get onto WiFi were rally awful. Ended up not being able to get on for my laptop. Quite frustrating
Ausreichend
Frühstück
Éramos 4 y la habitación era amplia, lo que facilita todo. La ubicación también nos gustó. El personal de recepción amable (no hablan español)
El desayuno normalito y el personal bastante tirante… parecían enfadadas. La habitación tiene moqueta, eso supongo que pasa por ser Inglaterra, pero cierto es que no es lo más higiénico.
This was our second stay at The Darlington Hyde Park and will not be our last. We are super happy with this hotel. It's extremely close to Paddington Station which makes it super easy to catch the Heathrow Express to LHR airport. The front desk is extremely friendly and helpful. We always drop our luggage off early. Your stay includes breakfast. The rooms are clean with television and nice shower. Its a cozy place - feels like you're a guest at someone's house. We haven't been aware of outside street noise. Finally, for the area, it's always a great price. Food-wise - we had a nice lunch at the Sawyer Arms, pizza from Santa Maria and delicious gelato a short walk away at Amorino on Edgeware Rd. Previously, we've eaten Italian food at Bizarro's which is also very good. Finally, every time we visit, we spend a lot of time walking at nearby Hyde Park; and if we're feeling ambitious, we walk to Regent Park or Holland Park.
Good location , room size was good
Early June the sunrise is around 5:15an and the bathroom curtains were not dark either nor covering enough.
Very handy location for Paddington station. The staff were excellent and the cleanliness amazing.
The whole place had apparently been recently painted and the rooms had a very strong paint smell which caused a bit of an issue with breathingas my wife is asthmatic. The bed was nice but the mattress was a very hard one .e. not to everyone's taste but I cannot fault the hotel for making that choice as it is a personal preference.
I had to cancel my reservation at The Darlington Hyde Park due to a serious medical issue that forced me to cancel my entire planned trip to the UK. Although I had booked a non-refundable Advance Purchase rate, Hotel Manager Dominika Gozdzik responded to my cancellation request with extraordinary compassion and kindness, processing a full refund without hesitation. In a world where policies often take precedence over people, The Darlington Hyde Park stood out for putting their guest's wellbeing first. That kind of grace and humanity is rare, and it has made me a loyal future guest. I cannot wait to stay there when I am able to return to London.

Merkeze yakınlığı ve temiz bir tesis.
Sabah kahvaltısı vasat, kahvaltıda çalışanlar zoraki iş yapıyor modundaydı, 6 gün boyunca ekmek ve çayı çekinerek sipariş verdim.
Continental breakfast good, clean overall
Not worth $330 USD for one night. Got in at 9 AM and were told there would be no availability for early check-in, come back at 2. Left our bags at least. When we did check in our room was in the basement. We could hear steps above us all night, creaking, and from the street you could look down into our window. Was a very warm night but couldn’t open the window for air because it did have stairs up to the street which weirded us out. No free water - had to pay a £ each for a water since there aren’t any close shops to buy one. TV remote was broken so couldn’t turn TV on. Hair dryer very low power.
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
Good hotel. Very good location. Easy to reach by public transport. A little old-fashioned though with carpets on the floor and two-tap washbasins. They charge 5 pounds per ítem when you leave your luggage there. I had never seen this anywhere else.
Nice room

Semplice, camere ben arredate, personale gentile, ottima posizione per la metro.
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.
Schöne ruhige Lage, fussläufig zum Hydepark. Metro und Busse in alle Richtungen waren sehr gut in wenigen Minuten erreichbar.

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.
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.
It was very clean and well kept. The staff were extremely nice.

Très bon emplacement, hôtel propre et confortable, personnel souriant et efficace.
We have stayed at the Darlington before, quite a few years ago now, and were very pleased to find that everything was just as good as before. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfy and the breakfast was excellent! The location is perfect for us - just a short walk through the beautiful parks and you're in the centre of London. Also, it's very close to both Paddington and Lancaster Gate if you need to go further or the weather is bad.
