Trailing my heavy suitcase behind me, I walked a mile to the train station in Chester in the morning of April 10th. I arrived at the station at 11am to buy my ticket because I hadn't received my ticket in the mail. I had called the day before inquiring about it and the person I talked to said that they sent the ticket to my address but it was sent back from someone at the University. The guy applied me for a refund and told me to buy my return ticket at the train station they day I wanted to...

We made it! The flight was super long, obviously, and our plan for sleeping and not sleeping at specific times to get ready for the crazy 8-hour time change didn't exactly work. We got through the airport, passport processing, and customs very quickly, and found the train right away... well, quick enough. We got to Victoria station and walked in circles until we finally found someone to tell us in plain English, very s-l-o-w-l-y, how to find the entrance to the tube. Giant sign: UNDERGROUND E...

Our room number at St. David's is 403. That's not to say it's on the fourth floor; the British call it Ground level instead of first floor, first instead of second..... fifth instead of fourth. Oh, and there's no elevator ("lift," that is). Oh, I also forgot to mention that our room has three single beds instead of a full or queen. The nightstand is bolted to the wall right in the middle of what would be the furniture moving zone, so Kenny and I are sleeping apart for the first time since we'...

An excellent budget hotel
Being our first trip to London, more seasoned travellers had warned us about the potential pitfalls at staying at "budget" accomodations (too small, not clean, too noisy, etc., etc.).
Although our room was small, it was not cramped, and the staff kept it extremely clean throughout our stay. The room was also reasonably quiet - no impact from adjoining rooms and minimal street noise.
The breakfast, however, was the biggest surprise to this newbie traveller. The staff was friendly and extremely efficient, and was very willing to accomodate two vegetarians. The food was plentiful, varied and tasty.
On a final note, if you're willing to spend the extra money to take the Heathrow Express, DO IT!! As advertised, the train ride is a mere 15 minutes from the airport to Paddington Station. The walk to the St. David's is (at most) an additional two minutes. Truly a stress-free way to arrive in London.
Dreadful. Try The Ashley Hotel instead
A nice little place
Outstanding hosts, accomodating, great location and reasonable price
If that were not enough, there are several other positives about this hotel. The room was clean. Price was very affordable by London standards ($90 pounds/night). Breakfast was large (yes a bit greasy) and could be ordered as you would like. The owner/cook made a point of stopping by all tables and saying Hi and asking how things were.
The location was perfect. You can catch the Heathrow express train to Paddington train/tube station which is literally 5 minute walk or less. We had never been to London and could very easily make our way there from the airport. The area was safe and has many hotels. There are numerous close restaurants and pubs, at least a few internet cafes and its virtually directly on a route for double decker bus. You can also walk to Hyde Park in a matter of a few minutes.
The decor was not outstanding and the basement room we stayed in had an outside light right outside the window that made the room bright all night long. Our room had 3 single beds and one double. All in all hospitality made up for any minor shortcomings in the room and for the price the location, hospitality and breakfasts more then made up for it.
Great staff, Family room
Highly recommended
The St. David's Hotel is terrific in all respects

Great Hotel, Great Price
Great value
Norfolk Square Paddington is one of the more pleasant areas of London, generally quiet, convenient, and safe. As a travel agent I've stayed in a lot of B&B's in Britain over the years and this is one of the best I've found in its price range.
Great location
