The Darling is undeniably a beautiful and luxurious hotel — plush, moorish interiors, extremely comfortable rooms, and excellent facilities nearby. It’s in a great location and feels every bit like a premium stay. A couple of things to note: breakfast and the gym are located in different areas, which can feel a bit disjointed when you’re expecting everything under one roof. I also found that while many staff were helpful especially at reception, others in different areas of the hotel and facilities, came across as slightly stand‑offish, which made me feel a little less at ease than expected for a hotel of this calibre. That said, the comfort of the rooms and the overall quality of the property make it a strong choice. With a bit more warmth in service consistency, it could easily be a five‑star experience.
