St. David's Hotels Paddington

Amazing location, so close to paddington station. We were their during the strike and paddington had main line connections making it very helpful. Staff very friendly and helpful, we got there so early and they we very accommodating. The complimentary water refill station was a nice bonus. Upon departure we were able to leave our bags there which saved us a lot of time and stress. There are some restaurants and cafes nearby that were good.

Really lovely hotel just 4 mins from paddington station. The hotel had really great customer service, and one of the quickest check-ins ever (as I had responded to their email prior to arriving) and while they do have old school keys that you have to turn in everytime you leave, the staff at reception is wonderful at remembering you, and always present. The hotel rooms are small and clean. They aren’t sound proof and you will hear your neighbors and the trains so recommend ear plugs. The best thing they have is a still and sparkling water tap in the lobby, all hotels should have this, it helps cut back on plastic water bottles, so refreshing and wonderful!

This was a wonderful little gem within 2 blocks of direct train line (Elizabeth) from Heathrow Airport. Easy walk to Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and all the sights. The room was clean and comfortable with the character one would expect from a building over a century old, as nd yes - bathroom was small but adequate. Walls were a bit thin but we always travel with earplugs. The staff were AWSOME. So very warm, friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again. No elevator or as the only drawback.

We absolutely adore this hotel. Its location is ideal for quick transportation. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the staff is attentive to the needs of their guests. There’s even someone on duty 24 hours a day at the reception! Thanks 🙃

Nice hotel to stay at but as there is no airconditioning summer heatwaves are difficult.

Boutique hotel with no elevator and no breakfast options. Excellent lication near Paddington and hyde park

Stayed in single with bathroom. Room was clean and tidy. Hotel well located within 3 mins walk of Paddington Station. Staff were excellent - first class. WIFI was good and easy to log on to. Tea making facilities were available on middle floor for all to use. No lifts so if on 6th floor like I was then be prepared for a climb but for my one night stay I really cold not fault this hotel.

Excellent stay. They happily stored my bags both before and after my stay. No elevator, narrow stairways, and small rooms, so I would recommend this property mostly to those who travel very light. I appreciated that there were USB ports installed in the room. As the only electronic I had was my phone it saved me having to buy a plug adaptor. Location can't be beat. I'd additionally recommend Sheila's Cafe nearby if you would like a full English breakfast. Note: the hotel has actual keys rather than keycards, and ask that you leave them at reception when you go out for the day.

Paddington station and hop on half block away J and Amy were very helpful. very clean.old but tidy. no coffee machine or phone in room beds made and fresh t towels daily.

Great location. Heritage Hotel. The only challenge is the lack of a lift.

Tastefully decorated and very clean. Great little place in easy distanse to Paddington. Will def. stay here again.

This hotel is exceptionally clean, conveniently located, and an excellent value. The rooms and property are all fresh and updated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. After staying at several different hotels in London over the last several years, I have finally found my go to hotel. St. David’s now has my loyalty and I highly recommend it for any traveler sealing a classic London hotel that exceeds all expectations.

Bathroom was mouldy

Very friendly, very clean. Close to Paddington Station.

The hotel is in a great area and the lobby and rooms are clean and great. Staff are at the desk 24/7. That being said, their plumbing is a mess. Toilets never flushed properly, and the bathroom closest to me (2 flights of stairs down) was disgusting, with dirt all over the floor and really small with a tiny showerhead. I couldnt bend over in the shower it was so small. The bigger bathroom in the basement only had boiling hot water and no cold water so i had to use the sink in my room to wash up properly. When i used the better bathroom they always asked me questions and tried to direct me back to the unclean bathroom which felt rude and invasive. In order to flush the toilets i had to fill up a water bottle and open the tank and fill it properly. There is no note that they are working on the issue and theyve not acknowledged its an issue. I felt safe here as a solo female traveller and my room was great but the facilities were awful. No air conditioning so it was quite hot on the top floor, but they had a fan that made it okay. I had to climb about 5 flights of stairs to get to my room which was fine for me but may be an issue for others if you have mobility issues or a lot of luggage.

Needs a makeover carpet is old and stained . Three floors up ( no lift). It would be nice if hotel provided shower gel a little bar of soap .

Clean room, friendly staff

Location was excellent and from there we could easily go to all places we wanted very easily walking or taking the public transportation. Many places to eat around. The hotel itself is nice looking from outside, but the our room looked like an "afterthought". The "airplane" bathroom was terrible, the carpet looked dirty and stained, and there was almost no furniture in the room (we felt like in a monk's cell in that regard). It is possible we got the worst room in the hotel as we had to book in the same day due to a flight cancellation, but I would not stay in that hotel room again unless absolutely necessary. The hotel staff was nice.

Simple but charming hotel. My (renovated) room was perfectly clean and not too loud due to being on one of the upper floors. No lift so only book if you don’t have issues with your legs and knees. 3 minute walk to Paddington station. Would stay again if looking for a budget option.

Reception staff were very friendly & helpful. Cleanliness was outstanding! Absolutely spotless. Bed was very comfortable; the shower was fantastic 😊 Location of hotel is great…very close to Paddington station; overlooking lovely Norfolk square.

Clean, good location, but very small room

The rooms are stylish but very small. Bed is not the most comfortable either. There was unusually warm weather and as we were on the third floor rooms got and stayed very hot. My room, tho larger, faced Paddington station which is the back side of St David’s. The view and sounds were awful. I think this is the “city view” and do not recommend! My stepdaughter had the room facing the park and it stayed a lot cooler and quieter but it was a smaller room.

We chose this hotel for the close location to Paddington Station and getting easily to and from Heathrow airport. It's in a great location and walkable to so much of what London has to offer. The staff were really pleasant and helpful, and we were able to store our luggage until our flight later in the day. Our room was nicely refurbished, clean and comfortable. But the noise and rumble from the trains is significant (but all quiet between 11pm-6am), so pack your earbuds. Small and steep staircase to our basement room, but staff were great and carried out suitcases up and down for us. And we had a cold shower at night, until we realised the next day you just have to keep turning (and turning) the tap until the hot water comes in.

Tiny room. Not enough room for 2 people to pass or have luggage open. Narrow, hard bed with big, hard pillows. On the positive side, outstanding location.

Fantastic location right next to Paddington station. Direct tube lines to the city and Heathrow. Downstairs room was a little warm in July and if we opened the window city noises were a bit much for comfortable sleep. Friendly and helpful staff. A good choice for budget conscious traveler for good location and one of few hotels that offered sleeping accommodations for four.

Clean and pleasant hotel for a short stay in London. I chose it for its proximity to Paddington station. The only slight issue I encountered was noise from other rooms/guests.

The good: It’s very close to Paddington station in a pretty square with lots of dining options. The room has a very good shower. The bad: Rooms are tiny and cramped. Bathroom sink is very small. There’s no air conditioning so you’ll need to use the fan they provide on full blast and open the window wide all night. The doors slam so guests returning late will wake you up when they enter their rooms. THERE IS NO LIFT (elevator) and you may have to carry your bag up 3 or 4 very narrow, steep, curvy flights of stairs.

The rooms were extremely small and there was a stark difference between the standard and deluxe room

It was close to Paddington Station so easy getting around London on the tube. Our superior double room facing the park was small for 2 people sharing for 3 days.

Enjoyed our time at St David's -- a charming property in a historic building. Read in fine print after we checked in that there's no lift (elevator) -- we had the luck of being on the very top floor so five flights of stairs was quite the workout. The room was small but well decorated and appointed. Beds were comfortable and linens were lovely. Staff were super friendly. Only complaint is that our room was HOT -- we kept radiator off and window open all night (in December!) to be comfortable enough to sleep. A fan would've been appreciated.

Really good value for money, especially considering it's a 4 - minute walk from Paddington station. Lovely and clean, well decorated, friendly and helpful staff. They have a free service of storing your luggage in a secured room until 6pm of your checkout date, I found this extremely helpful. Would 10/10 come again

The property is in a good location right around the corner from Paddington Station. There are no elevators and I had to go up four flights of stairs each time I came in and out. The room had a bathroom with a sink but the shower was down one flight. It didn't bother me but it may not be for some people. The bathroom in the room was quite small. The staff were OK and you leave your key when you leave. One German/Austrian reception guy just handed me my room key without even looking up or checking my picture which I inquired about my room security if that is how he operates. He was a little rude with his response.

Have stayed here many times. Great staff and location.

For everything that the owners could control- like the location to the Paddington Station, cleanliness of room and hotel, front desk staff- absolutely FIVE STARS. However, we had an issue with the first room we were assigned...it was up several flights of very narrow stairs. Fortunately, St. David's staff was able to accommodate us to a ground floor room for our second to fifth nights. Both rooms were impeccably clean, freshly painted, and bathrooms were updated. I would recommend any American to request a ground floor room.

Excellent staff! Very helpful, warm and welcoming environment.

Beyond impressed with this hotel. Super clean, and my room shower had constant water pressure and hot water with no issues. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Plus, Paddington Railway station and the tube is only a 3 min walk from the hotel. There are so many amenities around the hotel, nothing to worry about.

Staff was great and friendly. They were very helpful anytime we needed help with something. Location was so close to Paddington underground, bus stations, and dining options.

The staff were absolutely fantastic.

I had heavy bags and my room was on the 4th floor. Staff would not help me carry them upstairs. I had to store my bags in the morning—they had no way of storing them except in a big heap in the lobby. It did not feel secure at all.

After a disaster of a day, going to st. David’s hotel was a life saver. Alisha, who was working the front desk offered such kindness and accommodation to me knowing I had such a rough day. If it weren’t for her I’m not sure what I would have done- she is awesome. Not to mention, the hotel is so cute and offers a very homey feel to it. It is very close to the paddington station which was super convenient and has lots of food and shops around the area. Would most definitely come back and stay when I come back to London and couldn’t recommend this place more!!

Nicely updated hotel in a historical building. Very nice shower & body wash/soap. There is free water fill up. Close to Paddington underground station. Lots of dining options nearby. No need to buy nespresso at the hotel - there is fabulous Italian bakery just across the street. We got the room where the train was heard every 5 min, until they stopped running for the night. Pillow wasn’t comfortable, but the bed is all right. We were so tired that slept well anyway. My partner had to use airplugs. Otherwise lovely stay in a convenient location.

Very good location near Paddington train station. The staff was accommodating to let us bring our luggage early and store it for us until we checked in later. Same the day we checked out — we could leave our luggage there while we did some sightseeing before our train left. The park across the street was a great place to eat lunch! (Carry-out). We would stay there again if we had similar travel options plans.

So convenient for travel . Paddington station for rail & tube within minutes of hotel . Clean & safe . I had a fantastic stay

Very close to the tube.

And we had a cold shower at night, until we realised the next day you just have to keep turning (and turning) the tap until the hot water comes in.

You can not beat the location - super convenient. Will return next time I am in London.

St Davids is a lovely hotel with excellent value for money. The staff are extremely friendly and the hotel is in a great location for getting around London.

Small but perfectly adequate and great location

Loved the proximity to trains, quite tree lined street, and clean room. The hotel is very charming and the staff was helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Great location right across the street from Paddington train station and steps away from lots of food and pubs, clean room, friendly staff

Nicely updated hotel in a historical building. Very nice shower & body wash/soap. There is free water fill up. Close to Paddington underground station. Lots of dining options nearby.

The food in the neighborhood was amazing.

Amazing location, so close to paddington station. We were their during the strike and paddington had main line connections making it very helpful. Staff very friendly and helpful, we got there so early and they we very accommodating. The complimentary water refill station was a nice bonus. Upon departure we were able to leave our bags there which saved us a lot of time and stress. There are some restaurants and cafes nearby that were good.

The property is well situated close to the rail station and a good selection of cafes and restaurants. The staff were polite, patient and extremely helpful. The tea pantry was a novel, well appointed idea but, as an elderly tea fanatic, I would have loved a wee kettle in my room!

The proximity to Paddington station made staying here the night before our departure at LHR really convenient. The Heathrow express train is just a 15 minute ride to Heathrow Airport. There are many great restaurants and pubs right around the corner. The room has USB chargers but no c chargers in the wall so remember to have a European outlet converter and a c charger if you have a newer phone. I was able to borrow a converter from the concierge which was a huge lifesaver. The room is not large and the layout of the place was a little quirky. Our room was downstairs and through several doors that made it feel a bit confusing. The room itself was clean and simple. The double bed/bunkbed set up was great for staying with two teens. The beds were decent, comfortable enough but not luxurious. Although I loved the proximity of the hotel to Paddington Station, the tradeoff is that you actually feel and hear the trains as they pass. It is a bit loud so if you are a light sleeper be prepared. They actually use real keys at this hotel and require you to leave the key when you leave the building. The lobby has a water tap that has cold still and sparkling water that is free. There is a Nespresso machine in the lobby but you have to pay to use it. I would have appreciated a complimentary coffee in the morning as we headed out. We only stayed for one night but I was satisfied with the location and thought the staff were friendly and welcoming. All in all, I was satisfied with my stay.

Boutique hotel with no elevator and no breakfast options. Excellent lication near Paddington and hyde park

No tea or coffee facilities in the room.

Clean pretty room, v close to station. Brilliant shower, only downside tea & coffee making facilities on the landing below.

Excellent location, lovely staff and clean/tidy room; good for a day or two but probably wouldn't choose as a base for a long visit. No elevator and a lot of narrow stairs, no tea/coffee etc in room, shower wasn't great (think a washer had broken on the attachment also)

Great location and price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I love the sparkling water on tap in the lobby.
