Reviews of Dolphin Hotel

missingWrote a review on 17 Dec
The location is superb, just a stone's throw from Paddington station, making travel plans a breeze. The room layout offers a cozy feel, perfect for a short stay.
Unfortunately, I found the room a bit cramped, more suited for a solo traveler than a couple. The bathroom had a leak that required a handheld shower for adequate pressure, which was less than ideal. I also noticed some noise from the community garden nearby, which could disrupt your evening peace a bit, especially on the fourth floor where I stayed.

Convenient Location with Friendly Service
Great stay during my medical appointments. The room met my basic needs, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, even offering assistance post-surgery. A nearby Indian restaurant offered delicious meals, perfect for a quick bite before recovery. Be mindful of possible noise from other guests on busy nights.

The Dolphin Hotel offers great proximity to Paddington Station, making it ideal for sightseeing. While the room was clean and equipped, it was quite cramped and lacked air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable at times. Breakfast options were limited, but the staff were friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the comfy beds and the little fridge in the room for late-night snacks. I found relaxation in the cozy lobby with comfy sofas, and I appreciated the option to use the small lounge area to unwind after a day out. The only thing I noticed was the shower could’ve used a bit more space, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

great location but room could use updates
The staff were particularly attentive, adding a personal touch to my stay. The room featured a comfy bed and useful amenities like a mini fridge, creating a cozy environment.
The room felt slightly dated and could benefit from modernization.

Location close to Paddington Station makes exploring the city a breeze. The building features charming Victorian decor, adding character to the experience.
The absence of an elevator means hauling luggage up steep stairs, especially to higher floors, can be a hassle. The vibrations from the underground trains rattle the entire building every few minutes, disrupting any chance of a peaceful night’s sleep. Room sizes are cramped, providing minimal space to move around, let alone open a suitcase. The limited breakfast selection leaves much to be desired, and in some instances, guests have reported issues with cleanliness, such as tiny bugs appearing in the shower.

Excellent location just minutes from transport links. The room was clean and comfortable, with a fridge and ample charging points. the lack of a lift made stair access challenging, especially with children, and noise from creaky floorboards and nearby trains disrupted sleep. Breakfast options were limited, further detracting from the experience.

It was just a smart choice for a fleeting stay in London, great for the money. Our room was small but clean with a cozy balcony. Be prepared for noisy nights due to trains nearby.
