Full Review

Scene

Georgian townhouse renovated with East-meets-West decor theme

The lobby at the New Linden Hotel encapsulates the hotel's slightly vintage, British Empire-inspired East-meets-West theme, with carved
wood doorways and art pieces from South Asia and India. Fabrics are shiny damasks and rich velvets, and the lounge area is adorned with antique bird cages and couches with ornate
tassels. The breakfast area is brighter and more contemporary in style, with patio-style metal table and chair sets with colorful cushions; floral
canvas paintings adorn the walls.  

Location

In quiet residential neighborhood near Hyde Park and Notting HIll

Located on a tree-lined street
with tall, white Victorian and Georgian facades, the New Linden Hotel is surrounded by an upscale and
residential neighborhood. There are a few restaurants and pubs within a five-minute walk, and
the nearest Tube station (Chepstow Road) is a four-minute walk away. The well-heeled neighborhood of Notting Hill, with its lively Portobello Market, is just a few minutes west. Paddington
Station is about a 15-minute walk west, and central London, including Piccadilly
Circus and Leicester Square, is about 27 minutes away on the tube. The western
portion of Hyde Park is about a three-minute walk from the hotel, and Kensington
Palace can be reached on foot in 12 minutes. Heathrow Airport is about 35
minutes away via public transportation. 

Rooms

Small, clean, and elegant, some with private terraces

Rooms at the New Linden vary in size,
furniture, and color scheme, but most are typically sized for historic London hotels. Lower-tier rooms are simpler in style, many with clean-lined modern furniture in neutral tones and pops of red and orange hues in silk pillows, bedspreads, and headboards. Other rooms have hardwood floors and more muted brown colors. Suites are more opulent, with carved four-poster beds, antique-style wood furnishings, and patterned drapes. There are some rooms aimed at families or groups, with both single beds and extra beds. All beds are notably comfortable, outfitted with high-end Egyptian cotton sheets, and each room has a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi access. However, floor space is at
a minimum, and many rooms barely have enough room for a suitcase at the foot of the bed. Bathrooms are extremely compact, but modern and clean, with tiled walk-in showers. Some rooms have a private balcony with a small
table and chairs and neighborhood views. All rooms have a kettle for
tea and coffee, as well as a safe and ironing facilities.
