Got some great advice in the France forum so thought would jump over here and ask about London Hotels. Currently we have a hotel booked at Heathrow airport on a Friday night for our return flight to US on Sat morning at 9 am. Many suggested we spend our one night in London (been there before) instead of at the airport, which I can understand. We looked at hotels around Paddington and considered the HEX for the journey back to Heathrow although the 15 minute walk from the station to T2 seems less than appealing. Then we decided on a car service or perhaps taxi - thinking a 5 am departure would get us there in time.
We are looking at the Darlington Hotel by Paddington. Looks nice, although the reviews I have read from the past several weeks say how hot it was in the rooms with no AC and were provided a fan. While I could get by with this, not sure my friend who is a first time traveler overseas could handle it.
While no one can predict the weather, typically what is it like early Sept.? Any other hotel suggestions? Our budget would be around 225 bp for a triple room - the Darlington Hyde Park's Family room had a twin in one little room connected to a double which gave us some privacy space. Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you!
