Cardiff Hotel in London Review

Single Room

The Cardiff Hotel may not be one of the fanciest places to stay in London, but it does have a great location. Getting to the hotel is easy if you are coming from Heathrow Airport. Take the Heathrow Express Train to Paddington Station and walk from there. Paddington Station is a major stop for the metropolitan transportation system, and it is just a few minutes away from the hotel. You can walk there and get quick access to any destination in the city. The rooms are small, so pack light if you can. Do not expect much in the way of extras. You can stay in a single, double, triple, or family size room. All rooms have wireless Internet access.

Nearby Norfolk Square

The Cardiff Hotel in London serves complimentary breakfast. There are also a lot of good places to eat in the neighborhood. Restaurants and cafes can be found within walking distance of the hotel. You are also close to Paddington Station, so transportation is easy when you are navigating your way around the city. It is also easy to get to and from Heathrow Airport given the proximity to the station. Room prices are also relatively low. Expect to pay £45 per night for a single room without a private bathroom. Prices go up for larger rooms with private bathroom access. The only downside with the hotel is the size of the rooms and the bathrooms. They are very small, so do not expect to have tons of space to lounge around if you stay at this hotel.

Double Room

The Cardiff Hotel in London is a safe bet for travelers on a budget who still want to spend the night at a reputable hotel. You will spend more here than you would at a hostel, but it is a step up. There is free breakfast included, and you can access Internet from your room. Most importantly, you are just a few minutes away from Paddington Station, making it easy to get around the city. It is a basic hotel with no frills. However, this is a good choice in terms of budget hotels in London, and the location is excellent.
