[2024 London Stay] Travel Guide for New Linden Hotel (Updated Nov)
Enjoy a cozy stay at New Linden Hotel in London.
Every time I come to London, I like to stay at New Linden Hotel. This small hotel at 59 Leinster Square is in a great location, just a few minutes' walk from Hyde Park. 🚶♂️ It's also only 1 km from Paddington Station, making it super convenient for public transport or driving. There are many interesting attractions nearby, such as OM Thai Massage & Spa, Caroline Hope, and the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, which is a great perk of staying here!
The decor of New Linden Hotel has an elegant and vintage feel, and the reception staff are friendly and welcoming. Some rooms are indeed very small, but there is daily housekeeping service, and the overall cleanliness is quite good. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic and helpful, and the breakfast is quite rich, with a daily continental breakfast. However, the breakfast room is a bit small, and you may have to wait for a seat when it's busy. 🕰️
The rooms are well-equipped with basic amenities. Although some rooms are small, they have ironing facilities, in-room safes, and wardrobes. The beds are double beds, quite soft, and comfortable to sleep on. The bathrooms are also clean, but some rooms have older bathrooms, especially those without curtains and non-slip floors. The lack of air conditioning is a minor issue, especially in summer. However, there are small appliances such as electric kettles and coffee/tea makers, which are very thoughtful. 🛁
There are many small shops near the hotel, especially restaurants, offering a variety of delicious food! It's just a few minutes' walk to Bayswater Tube Station and Hyde Park, and nearby restaurants such as Texture Restaurant (Western) and The Greenhouse (Western) are great choices. These restaurants not only offer a variety of delicious dishes, but also have great decor and atmosphere. 🍽️
Of course, there are some minor drawbacks, such as poor soundproofing in some rooms, where you can hear the noise from next door or the hallway at night. If you stay on a lower floor, the air circulation is not very good. Also, there is no refrigerator or air conditioning in the room, which may be a bit stuffy in summer. The breakfast is still the same, with not much variety, and it can get a bit boring after a while. It feels like staying at an old friend's house, with some minor issues, but overall, it's still very satisfying.
In summary, New Linden Hotel is a great value for money, especially with its excellent location and good service. I will definitely consider staying here again next time I come to London. ✨
