 Hilton Paddington front by BADLYNX Located on top of Paddington station (formerly the Great Western Royal hotel). Underwent total renovation in last two years. Lobby grand, marble and wood pannelling. . Good (pricey) breakfast . Room (Executive deluxe) on level 6 large for London standards with marble bathroom, cable tv and safe. Small windows looking onto internal courtyard but open slightly for fresh air. Executive lounge served continental breakfast (or you could have full breakfast in restaurant), snacks for lunch and dinner. Afternoon tea in the club lounge was cakes, cheese board, scones, clotted cream, jam. Open bar until 9pm with help yourself Whisky, Gin, Baileys, Champagne, soft drinks ,coffee machine (access via your coded card). You can get great prices by booking at least 21 days ahead on the hilton or other websites). One bugbear about minibar - automatically charges when items removed but it also appears to charge if you just touch an item (while still in the minibar) to look at them - as I wanted to store other items in there (why are theses places never cold enough) they wanted to charge me GBP2.80 for the privilige (as they consider it a service). After arguing this was waived ( I pointed out if I need an extra toilet roll was I going to get charged for that). They did offer use of the hotel fridge but for a 5* hotel this was inconvenient (I dont want to ring downstairs ever time I want to access there fridge). Walk out back of lobby into Paddington mainline station (airline checkin desks - get boarding pass and dont see luggage until destination) with the Heathrow Express - 15 minutes to airport (GBP13 for single one way) plus tube stations. Local restaurants just outside hotel incl Garfunkels, Angus Steak House, KFC plus a mini supermarket (Sainsburys) inside the station open late (and other bars/ coffee shops) . Not the wealthest area (a bit run down) but never felt unsafe and always busy because of the station. . I obtained a advance purchase rate of GBP158 per night for the room including executive club access.

It's a spectacularly grand 4 star (delux) hotel, with marble floored reception... in the rooms (huge) there is a (big) TV, playstation, a HUGE and comfy bed, and... 3 telephones. Yes, 3 telephones - one next to the bed, one on the table and another one in the toilet! (*it's funny/weird how people judge the level of luxeoury by the number of telephones in the room) The service was first class! Well... what did I expect, it's Hilton! The best thing has to be the breakfast... umm...! It was YUMMY!!! A buffet breakfast that we could eat as much as we like - enough to cover the lunch! Great!!! We managed to stay here for £15 per person per night, was because a friend who was with us was working for Hilton as well. The discount was very generous!
Those telephone, obviously! And the breakfast!!! Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Right next door to the Paddington Station, and about 10 minutes walk from the Hyde Park.
