Just had another one-night stay at The Dolphin Hotel, where I get a good welcome and a small room that is ideal for my brief stay. The room was clean and I appreciate the en-suite loo & shower and also the in-room coffee & tea making facility. The Hotel position is great for local shops and restaurants and more, as well as being near to Paddington Station, where there are Underground and Bus connections.

Staff were welcoming, room was a good size and everything needed for a very acceptable price, only issue was surrrounding the trains running through Paddington, the room was shaking everytine.

6/10 Good

Location is good. Close to bus and tube and still not loud. Park outside, hardly no traffic outside window. Room and bathroom clean in general but do not drop things under a bed.. Small room to fit a family. Breakfast, lobby and reception is more hostel-level than hotel-level. In total a hostel feel more than a hotel. I guess this is what you get if you pay what we paid - which was still considerable.

Absolutely recommend staying here! The staff were great- always kind and welcoming. The hotel allows you to leave your luggage prior to check in as well so you can sight see if you arrive early. The room was very clean. The hotel was in a safe and convenient area (3 minute walk from the Paddington station). As a solo female traveler I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the area, even at night. The only thing I would suggest future guests to keep in mind is that due to the short distance from the station, you can hear the tube from the rooms. If you decide to go to sleep earlier this might be a problem for light sleepers- it never bothered me however. Overall I had an amazing stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Close to Paddington, shops and restaurants. Clean enough - fresh towels. Easy check-in. A bit noisy with doors banging and room had a smell of smoke.

My dear friend and I spent six nights at the dolphin Hotel. The location is fantastic. The hotel is older, but it’s quaint. If you get the twin rooms, the beds are very close to each other. The staff are very kind. The rooms were very clean. We had a couple days where the hot water was a little dodgy, but all in all we enjoyed the hotel. It’s charm and the staff. We only had breakfast one day and it wasn’t great.

There was only one friendly face at lobby desk. Housekeeping staff were nice. Bed and pillows were terribly hard. Linens were very rough. No shampoo or wash towels.

Great budget hotel for our first night in London, family of 3. Clean sheets, comfy beds, hot showers, kettle in the room with tea/coffee and nice staff. Easily accessible from Paddington Station. Very small room and bathroom but manageable considering the price. They also allowed us to stow our luggage at no cost since we arrived from the US early in the day.
