Hotel Normandie (London, United Kingdom)

Many of the great attractions surrounding Normandie Hotel, are within easy walking distance, and if the location is a little further out, Paddington Station is just a short walk away to accommodate further out adventures.

Guests staying at Normandie Hotel will find themselves transported back in time, as the building has that old-world feel to it; the squeaky stairs, the narrow corridors, and the small rooms all add up to Victorian times.

Each morning, guests are served a breakfast cooked to their specifications, and the meal couldn’t be any more satisfactory. The hearty meal sets a tone for a delightful day out and about, and gives one enough energy to last well into the afternoon.

The furniture in each room may not be from matching sets, and at time, may seem a little odd, but guests should rest assured that the furnishings are comfortable, and the hotel has undergone a recent refurbishment.

Guests who have limited mobility may find traversing the narrow staircase leading down into the dining room to be a bit of an unmanageable feat. Those requiring assistance shouldn’t be afraid to ask for it, as the staff are only to happy to help.

The bathrooms may be small, and the shower just big enough for one to stand directly under the spray, but that is all that one would require. Guests will find the shower pressure, and water temperature to be fantastic, and to deliver one into a state of trance, where all of one’s troubles are washed away.
