I decided to book the darlington based on the many positive reviews on tripadvisor.com. The hotel is in a great location, literally round the corner from paddington station which we used for the underground through central london. The hotel itself is very clean,comfortable and the staff were pleasant and helpful. I booked for the half price easter offer, with two... more

We are a family of four that stayed at the Darlington Hyde Park between March 7 and March 15, 2008. We had room 15, which is a “family” suite on the ground floor. This hotel was recommended by my sister who has with her family stayed there more than once. Between her recommendation, and the collective view of other TripAdvisor... more

I stayed in the hotel for one night. I was on my own and so was allocated a single room. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. It was also very quiet and so, even though I am a light sleeper, I had a good night's sleep. Breakfast next morning was excellent (I opted for the full English which... more

If you are looking for a four star luxury hotel, with a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, etc, this is not the hotel for you. However if you want... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in February and thought it was fine. It was a great base for exploring London, the nearest tube station is about 5-10mins walk. There are lots of places to eat around the hotel as well if you don't fancy central london at night! Also you can bring food back into the... more

We spent 3 nights at the Darlington and were very happy with the service there. Our room was quite small but modern and overlooked a small unattractive courtyard but it was very clean and comfortable. In fact I was particularly impressed with the standard of cleanliness. It was also very quiet. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially at... more

After reading a number of great reviews about The Darlington, it was easy to make the decision on where to stay in London.

We asked for a room away from the... more
