Linden House Hotel is a small mid-range property well located near the Paddington train and tube station and Hyde Park. Its 40 rooms are pleasantly decorated with sepia-hued curtains and painted wall trimmings, though the walls are thin. The size of the rooms varies significantly, and Quad and Family Rooms are available for larger groups. Continental breakfast is included in room rates, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Travelers may want to compare Linden House with the BEST WESTERN Mornington Hotel, which has tasteful decor and well-maintained rooms.

Scene
Cheerful mid-range property with simple aesthetics
The Linden House Hotel's common areas feature a mix-match of aesthetics, starting with the narrow brown and beige marble front desk with light-blue lighting that gives it a hint of nightclub ambiance. Small pendant lights hang above and are more understated. A fake half-exposed brick wall with an electric fireplace sits next to reception, and there's a Mardi Gras mask on one wall along that hangs above a red-and-gold floral crest patterned couch.
Location
Convenient location between Paddington Station and Hyde Park
The Linden House is conveniently located on a block of Victorian townhouses between Hyde Park and Paddington Station. (It's less than a five-minute walk to each.) The Lancaster Gate tube station is also close by. There are plenty of places to eat in the area, including a few pubs and inexpensive sandwich shops. The Heathrow Express train at Paddington Station takes about half an hour to reach Heathrow Airport.
Rooms
Pretty rooms of varying sizes with sepia-hued decor and rainfall showers
Linden House Hotel has a range of room styles, ranging from cramped-feeling Doubles and Triples to much more spacious Quad and Family Rooms. Decor varies from room to room, but the color scheme stays the same and features a combination of beige, brown, and pale rose-gold furniture and upholstery. Small details, such as floral curtains, sepia photographs, small chandeliers, and pink-wall trimmings, offer extra pizazz in some of the units. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs and kettles. Bathrooms are small and some feel cramped, though they do offer walk-in rainfall showers. Note that rooms have thin walls, and there's sometimes noise from other rooms. Also, past visitors have complained of scuffed furniture and broken light fixtures.
Features
Free continental breakfast and hotel-wide Wi-Fi
Along with free and reliable Wi-Fi, the Linden offers a free buffet breakfast with hot and cold items. It's best to get to breakfast early as the dreary dining room is tiny and things can become hectic quickly if all the guests come at once.
