St David’s Hotels

Meine Freundin und ich haben hier die letzten 4 Nächte verbracht. Das Personal ist super freundlich, aber die Zimmer sind mega klein. Wenn man nur ein paar Tage in der Stadt ist, würde ich dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen. Bei einem längeren Aufenthalt würde ich allerdings immer ein anderes Hotel buchen.
Die Preise hier sind aber völlig in Ordnung. Wir hatten das Glück eines der wenigen Zimmer mit eigenem «Bad» zu bekommen. (Haben wir vorher per Mail bestellt!) Ich habe noch nie solch ein winziges Bad gesehen, geschweige denn dort geduscht. Es war alles drin was man braucht (nein, keine Badewanne). Allerdings bekam man die Tür nur sehr schwer zu!
Das Zimmer selbst konnte man von Innen nicht extra abschliessen. Aber man kann von außen auch nur mit einem Schlüssel rein. Also keine Panik! ;)
Im Zimmer hatten wir 2 Einzelbetten sowie einen eigenen TV. Die Aussicht war nicht so doll, aber wir waren auch immer erst gegen Mitternacht oder noch später wieder daheim… und es lag nicht an den arg dreckigen Scheiben. :)
Zum Frühstück gibt es das typische Englische mit Bohnen, Ei (Rührei oder Spiegelei), Bacon, Pilze und Würstchen. Dazu konnte man Toast mit Marmelade essen. Zum Trinken gab es Tee, Kaffee, Kakao und/​oder Milch. Also keinen Grund zu meckern.
Ach so: Handtücher wurden tatsächlich jeden Tag gewechselt. (!!!) Das ist top, aber für mich nicht zwingend notwendig.

Best value for the money in London, in my opinion. Nothing fancy but the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the English breakfast is cooked to order. The location is a block from the Paddington Tube stop. The staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed there many times and will definitely stay there again when I’m in London.

Folks, this is the hotel to stay at in London.
* Can’t beat the location — it’s steps away from the famed Paddington Station (seriously, I stepped off the Heathrow Express and yelled out «OmG, Harry Potter!!»)
* Super dooper cheap. I shared a room for 5 nights with 2 other lovely ladies and my share was about 260 US dollars. Beat that!
* They feed you a hearty English breakfast every morning — the works, tea, sausage, ham, eggs how you like it, beans. I showed up before my friends, stepping off my red eye flight from Chicago on about 3 hours of sleep, but after the breakfast closed for the day and before I could check into the room. They sent me downstairs and prepared me a special plate of the famed English breakfast just for me. This breakfast is so filling you could last until dinner. But with the unique food in London, why would you? But great way to save some bucks.
* Quiet. No loud neighbors.
* Yes, it’s small. But you didn’t come to London for where you put your head down at night, you came to London to see the sights. You’re not going to stay in your room the whole trip, are you?
* Yes, the bathroom is super tiny, but it’s hot water that stayed hot no matter if you were first in the morning to shower or the last — 3 girls, we used alot of hot water! I thought it was kinda cool how tiny it was.
* Run by a lovely family from Cypress. Great hospitality that will go above and beyond the norm — re: Hearty English Breakfast above. They have hair dryers and adapter plugs free to share and will help you find your way around London and give the best recommendations about areas of the city and beyond.
Seriously, what are you waiting for? Stay here!

My family and I stayed there for 4 nights, in a quad room. The small room had all the necessities, a tv, fan, desk, wardrobe, private bathroom, a lovely window overlooking the park; 2 twin beds and a double. My family like to be out and about all day, so the small room size didn’t matter to us at all. Alex, who runs the front desk during the day, welcomed us warmly upon arrival, and greeted us all by name every time he saw us. Every morning we all had breakfast downstairs. The food was great, and once seated had hot food in front of us within minutes. Great value, great location, great experience. Super friendly staff, and the hotel has a lot of wonderful charm. Highly recommended!

London is an expensive city. It was really hard to find an affordable hotel that met all of our needs (had 2 beds, private bathroom, close to train station), but this place fit the bill. It was less than a 5 minute walk from Paddington Station, and overlooks a quiet park. It seemed like there were mostly young people staying there, but it wasn’t loud at all. Our room was clean and small, but still had a double bed and a single bed (since we had our 3-​year old son with us), a desk, a TV, and a tiny bathroom. The bathroom was about the size of one on an airplane (seriously), but we were only in London one night, so that was OK. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included. We happened to miss our breakfast (we thought it ended at 9:30am, but it ended at 9am), but they still brought us toast, croissants, jelly, and yogurt, plus drinks. There are tons of restaurants and shops right around the corner. If I was staying in London again for one or two nights, I would stay here. Anything longer and I would need a bigger bathroom. Did I say it was tiny?
