For my first trip to London, I booked a hotel just a five-minute walk from Paddington Station. The reception staff changed daily, but everyone was very pleasant, and on my last day, they kindly stored my large luggage after I checked out. Using Paddington Station as a base for sightseeing in London turned out to be even better than I had imagined. Next time, I might visit London from Paris via the Eurostar. I stayed here for three days, and I am very grateful. I also appreciate Expedia for reliably booking overseas hotels every time.
