Best Western Plus Delmere Hotel

Pros: - central location, 5 mins walk to Paddington, easy access to Heathrow Airport - nice street, lots of big trees, no big traffic - fresh, modern, classy interiors, recently renovated - comfortable bed - breakfast is ok Cons: - my single room was uncomfortably small, ~1m free space around the bed, good only for sleep - bathroom is so small I could not dry, and sitting on the loo was an exercise 'coz basin is in the way - thin walls, noises from neighbours and from the corridor came into the room - if room lights are dimmed, the TV screen brightness dims automatically as well, so You dont see it well, and cant do anything about it, because screen brightness control is disabled in the remote, very annoying less

A hidden gem nestled between several hotels with convenient access to Paddington Station and Underground. Friendly and efficient Reception staff with the Duty Manager on site. Superbly renovated to a high standard with modern decor and appliances. Like most London hotels, the rooms are small, but so well-appointed that they don’t feel their size. I’ve finally found my “go to” London hotel. less

After being kept awake for more than an hour by the noise of the couple next door's sexual athletics, I decided enough was enough and tried to get reception to relocate me or do something about the problem. There were no rooms for relocation so a call was made to the room but the noise continued beyond this until beyond 1am. The walls must be paper thin and that is very unexpected in a hotel of a reputable brand. Overall the staff were unhelpful and did not really try to solve the problem. What people want to get up to in their room is entirely up to them, and good luck to them, but I don't see why it should impact upon me. less

This tiny hotel is located a block or two from the Paddington underground. This made it so easy to travel the city and have a good home base to go to. Friendly staff made the visit very pleasant. The rooms are very small, so know that going in. If you are just using this hotel for sleeping, you should not have problems. Beds comfortable. Again, realize that the space is very concentrated, but very workable. Plenty of restaurants and pubs located nearby. Recommend this spot for those who are looking for an intimate space to rest. less

I recently stayed at the BWP Delmere Hotel on a personal trip to London. I wanted a reasonably priced hotel, close to Paddington Station and within walking distance to Oxford and Edgeware Roads where my friends who went on this trip with me were staying. The primary reason I picked this hotel was the fact that I am a Best Western Rewards (BWR) member. I did book a single "cozy" room and hoped that my higher BWR status might get me a room upgrade. Alas this was not to be (unlike in the US, it seems European hotels are more reluctant to upgrade you). I was given the option of points or a free beverage of choice. I decided to go with the points. The front desk staff were quite friendly and pleasant upon my arrival. I did arrive a few hours before the official check in time but the staff were able to accommodate my early check-in with minimum wait time. This was nice. The room itself was quite compact but did stay with the "cozy" theme. I am about 5'11 with a medium frame and the room size was about right. If I were any bigger it would have perhaps been uncomfortable. It was very modern, with modern fittings and controls. Having the main room controls within arms reach from the bedside was definitely a plus. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft. The bathroom was quite small! I was surprised by the practical design of it that allowed you to keep your basic toiletries and towels but the room to move around was somewhat restrictive. As for location, this hotel was perfect. Easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions and being close to the station was great. My goal was to make travel from London Heathrow to the hotel to be quick and painless and this was achieved. I would highly recommend this hotel for someone who is looking for these same goals. I did take the Heathrow Express from Heathrow Airport to Paddington and then walked about 5 minutes to the hotel. Would recommend you download the Heathrow Express App and purchase tickets on it as you do get some nice deals. The TRL train from Heathrow to Paddington is another less costly but a bit longer time wise option if staying in a hotel in the Paddington area. less
