Hotel Near Paddington Station

[susietb]

Can anyone recommend a nice hotel near Paddington Station. We have an early flight from Heathrow and would like to be near the Airport Express Train.

 

Nice meaning less than $500 US.

 

Thank you

Your closest option is the Hilton Paddington - it's literally part of the station. Depending on the date, I've seen some quite reasonable rates at this property. Certainly less than $500... :D

There's also the Quality Crown Hotel Paddington, which is right beside the station (not to be confused with the Quality Crown Hotel Hyde Park, which is also close but a bit of a walk to Paddington - say 5-10 minutes)

Another one is the Darlington Hyde Park about 300 yards from the station.

If you want room service, health suites and manicures then its not for you but if you want a small, relatively small independent this probably is the best hotel for all the basics, cleanliness and old fashioned service. You should get a room (with breakfast) for well under $US200.

 

If you prefer a large full service chain hotel, then the Hotel Indigo is the boutique 4 star chain of the same people that own Holiday Inn, Crown Plaza and Intercontinental chains.

Rooms are normally available around the $250-$350 mark and its about 100 yards from the station.

 

As above, the Hilton Paddington, the old railway hotel is the ultimate in convenience and is normally the most expensive hotel in the district, but well within your budget. (Don't get mixed up with another Hilton in the area called the Hilton Metropole - it very much caters for the mass market, tour crowds and puts Priceline 'winners' in its cheap wing.)

We've been looking in the same area and are considering the Castleton Hotel - on the same street as the Darlington. Does anyone know anything about it?
