| I searched for a "cheap" (when the dollar/pound ratio went against us) for 10 of us in church tour. Happily, the Best Western Delmere was as my research had showed. Tiny rooms, but fresh and clean. The little Italian restaurant/breakfast room "La Perla"in the basement was very satisfactory. The dinners were delightful. Al said his meat sauce was the best one he'd ever had. The continental breakfast had a nice selection, and one could get hot food if desired. Sussex Gardens was a street full of identical old homes with elaborate front porches. Front rooms were a bit noisy from street traffic, but not uncomfortable. It is one block from Paddington station, which made it handy for the Big Bus Tour starting around the corner, and our train trip to Windsor. The metro was at the same area, which is nice and close. It could have been walked with rolling cases, if needed. We recommend a cafe two blocks over on Spring St. called ASK!. Handsome modern surroundings, some outside dining, a huge bouqet at the entry, and fresh good food. It looked very "in". |

| This is an okay hotel that has been well described by others in the guest book. I rate it a 7, 8 if the en suite had included a bath that was requested at the time of booking. | |

| Just returned from a seven-day stay at The Delmere and this is what we thought of the Hotel: Staff -WONDERFUL, FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL; Hotel - CHARMING, CLEAN, MODERN, WELL-MAINTAINED; Location - GREAT; Continental Breakfast - ENOUGH VARIETY TO SATISFY OUR ENTIRE FAMILY; Rooms - SMALL BUT VERY PRETTY, CLEAN. Choosing a hotel online was challenging because photos and comments are very misleading. We chose The Delmere because it was part of a large chain and felt if there were any problems, we might have some recourse. We were right - many of the hotels we considered and were listed on this website were in the area of The Delmere, and we realized they were somewhat overrated. The staff at The Delmere was very helpful anytime we needed to book a tour, ask directions or figure out the best way back to Heathrow. The only negative thing we could say is that it was too warm. Leaving the windows open did little to provide relief. Be sure to ask for a fan from the front desk - we didn't know that was an option until our last day!!! Even though it is small and our family had to occupy two rooms, we loved The Delmere and would recommend it to anyone! | |

| My wife and I stayed at the Delmere for a weekend in June 2003.We have stayed quite happily at other hotels in the Sussex Gardens area, which is a very handy location for "doing London", but felt particularly comfortable in this 'small but perfectly formed' establishment. Accommodation is pleasant,clean and cosy although not spacious. Staff (mostly young and multi-lingual) were genuinely welcoming, attentive and efficient. The La Perla restaurant was very much to our liking with a restful decor & atmosphere, interesting menu, good food nicely served. We were able to enjoy an intimate dinner without the heat, noise and hassle of many pricier London restaurants. For those working to a comparatively modest budget seeking comfort and friendly service the Delmere represents excellent value. Please don't all book at once...we want to return! | |

| Close to Paddington Station. If you have to catch the early flight from Heathrow, this is a good choice hotel. Room was small but clean, and all facilities were working ok (tv, shower etc). Breakfast included (I was positively surprised with the selection, being used into the 'English breakfast'). Metro station is also within the walking distance, couple of restaurants nearby. I was a little bit concerned choosing the place to stay for the weekend in London, but Delmere is quite OK (and the opinions in the guestbook do matter, I almost booked another hotel in the area but was lucky enough to see other people;s opinions on this site). |

| My wife and I stayed at the Delmere in 1996 on our honeymoon. I do not think it possible that a more quaint and welcoming hotel could be found in London. As Delma has already said, "breakfast is a cut above the typical fare." Unlimited quantities of freshly baked goods; cereals; fruits; cheeses and meats were available. We left the hotel every morning quite satisfied and ready for the walks around London. Returning to the Delmere each night after a long day exploring the city and the surrounding countryside was like coming home. I'm certain we'll return "home" to the Delmere on our next trip to London. | |

| My wife and I stayed at the Delmere twice for short periods (3 days each) and twice for longer periods (8 days each) during 1999 and 2000. The small hotel is neat, clean, and fairly quiet. Our rooms have been small and cozy. The management at reception are quite cordial and helpful, and most of them are trilingual. The restaurant is convenient and well managed. Continental breakfast at the Delmere is a cut above the typical fare, and tables are covered with neatly pressed linens. We spend most of our days in London or in places reachable by the tube or Brit Rail. The proximity of Paddington is a plus. Sometimes we walk or jog through nearby Hyde Park or Kensington. One Sunday afternoon we strolled over to the Speaker's Corner and marveled at the colorful spectacle of sight and sound. Paddington Station is a mere skip and a jump away, and we enjoy arriving by Heathrow Express and, when we leave, checking our bags at Paddington and arriving at Heathrow in a dozen minutes or so. The tube at Paddington, of course, carries us wherever we wish to go in central London. We have read about other hotels with higher ratings or cheaper rates than the Delmere, but we find ourselves coming back to this cozy, neat and friendly hotel. We'll probably find our way back again before the end of this year (2001). Perhaps familiarity breeds content. | |
