Great location for a quick stay
Fabulous and convenient location! 1-5 minutes walk from tube, 3-7 minutes walk from eateries, souvenir store right around the corner. But: it's an old building, which means great from hstoric point of view, but zero sound-proof. It's also located right above the tube line, so get ready for some shaking (which stops around 11pm). Bed was clean and tidy, shower worked perfectly, so I would def.recommend it for quick 1-night stay when you need only to drop your bags and your body :)

Cheap and cheerful for overnight stay, would definitely use again. Stairs were a bit of a pain but you get what you pay for I suppose

Lots of large groups in the hotel. I had a group of girls running in and out of each others rooms all night. Laughing and screaming all night long. I didn't get any sleep at all. One of the worst nights im afraid.

My experience was very satisfying. Due to my age, it was difficult to deal with stairs. Next time, I would ask for a room in a lower level. I still would recommend the Dolphin hotel to others.

I’ve traveled all over the world and have never stayed in such a disgusting place. We told them not to disturb our room and they went into our room while we were out. Made our bed, moved our personal items but left our dirty towels. They didn’t have a lift and refused to help 3 elderly ladies with our luggage up 4 flights of stairs. Room had cockroaches and one bed had pee stains on mattress. It had balls of hair from previous people. Disgusting

Basic room, however clean, with everything I needed and an affordable price. The only negative point was the bed, too small.

The Dolphin and staff were great! And close to Paddington. Expedia did not send change of check-out date to hotel resulting in an extra 100 GBP charge for an an extra night. I hope Expedia refunds me for the mistake.

A good short stay.
Even though I was late arriving, and had lost my paperwork earlier, I was still greeted with courtesy and a helpful attitude at the reception desk, which put me at ease. The room was small, but ideal for my short stay with a clean en-suite and ample shower, with hot water. I was able to relax, and sleep in a comfortable bed. The TV worked and the positions of lighting switches and sockets was good. There was a working fridge, (which I didn't use). The Kettle for Tea & Coffee was provided and worked well. I have stayed at The Dolphin Hotel several times and I got the feeling that there has been some improvements made. As a solo short stay visitor, I find The Dolphin offers a good service at a reasonable price for London, but I do advise to book well in advance.

We had a great time staying at the dolphin, it was so close to Paddington station With a quiet park right across the street, and the front desk staff was very helpful! We’re planning to stay there again the next time we come to London.
