Decent London hotels, that don't charge the earth are hard to find, this one's a cracker. Hotel Indigo, in Paddington hasn't been open that long and it's a real find.
Bang smack in the centre of London Street, in busy downtown Paddington, you'll find The Indigo. Nestling in amongst a number of bars, restaurants and shops, this is a far more interesting part of London to stay in as a tourist or visitor as there are lots of places to walk out to and the West End is only a short taxi ride away, max £8. My advice is stay here and pay the taxi fare as some of the West End Hotels are way too expensive for what they are.
The rooms are compact, but really comfy, nicely decorated, with all the mod cons and free w-fi, (which is worth fifteen quid on its own, however I do have to comment that the wi-fi and the ethernet was unreliable, regularly dropping out. Rooms don't have baths if you want a good soak after a long day, but they do have walk in showers which are spacious with big shower heads. Room design is contemporary and modern (see picture), with free room safes, plasma TV, i-Pod dock stereo, nice towels and tea/coffee making facilities, Hotel Indigo is great value for money. The room I have stayed in (106) even has a small terrace, which would be nice for a warm day.
The staff have been really welcoming, which is really nice for a London hotel (a smile goes such a long way after a long day) and if this continues, then Hotel Indigo will be seeing me again.
Official Rating - Unknown
My Rating - 4P. Doesn't make 5P, as it's not a 5* hotel, however I would recommend you stay here if visiting London.
