6/10 Good

For a cheap hotel it was a fine hotel. Good value for money. They couldn't help the immense heat of London, which meant the room was extremely hot. They were very helpful in getting us a different room in the hotel, which we very much appreciated. The location is excellent and the breakfast is good value
Camilla, 7-night trip

Comfortable, affordable hotel near Paddington Station. Small room but worked well for a couple of nights to easily get around London.

Neil, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Bit dated, investment needed to modernise the hotel rooms. Friendly staff and great location.
Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

One night at the Dolphin

The room was quite small, just barely wider than the twin bed therein. Some evening noise from adjacent buildings, which did 'stop' around 11pm or so. The fan helped me to sleep that night, and it was an overnight stop for me so I could catch an early plane out of Heathrow the next day. The price was good; however, I would not stay for more than a day - even though it is conveniently located close to Paddingon and Hyde Park.

10/10 Exceptional

Good Short Stay.

I had another good visit to The Dolphin Hotel, where the greeting is good and helpful. For my overnight stay, the room is small but clean and, with a very comfortable bed, I slept well, followed by a good shower in the morning.

Lilian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely overnight stay at the Dolphin hotel, staff very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, smaller than anticipated but this isn’t uncommon in London. Breakfast was good. Property was slightly dated but well maintained. Very close to Paddington station and tube, with lots of restaurants, pubs and shops in the vicinity. Would definitely stay there again.
Nicola, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel in Paddington area. Also very close to tube and train stations. The area is full of souvenir shops, bars, restaurants and small sea quiet area.
Roberto, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very economic. Certainly not the fanciest but that’s the point. It’s a nice cheaper option especially for the location. Easy access to train station. Lots of shopping and dining in walkable area. Near Hyde park. The breakfast was just okay and the shower temp was a bit hard to manage. But price for location it’s perfect.

Hotel inngood location, close to the Paddington Station. Good for a short stay, with tasty but average breakfast. Small rooms and bathrooms.
