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.

Nostalgic but not again

Maybe i didn't read the hotel info close enough. I've stayed in London refurbished row house/hotel before. Enjoyed the quirks. However this hotel while 4 floors, had no elevator. Up 3 flights of very narrow, very worn carpeted stairs. Between floor 2 & 3 it wasn't even wide enough to provide a handrail. 5 beds in room, 3 single, 1 set of bunk beds. Was truly no larger than an average size bedroom. I know the Brits describe the bathroom as a water closet. This particular description isn't even close. You could not stand or sit starting on the toilet, because the sink was that close. Extremely small shower, that when you existed you had trouble drying off, and turning or dressing. Again VERY OLD BUILDING, I get it. Never had AC back during WW2 or after rebuild. Scaffolding outside the window, with protective covers for the workers. Zero airflow in the room with window wide open. Could not turn the heater off. Not to mention one of the beds was pushed up right against it. Think I'll look better next time. On the plus side very close to Paddington Station.

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.

The hotel was super warm and we couldn't get the room temperature down. The bathroom was tiny and beds were uncomfortable. We only spent a night here to be close to the train- I would not recommend you stay here for longer than that.

Small little Victorian style hotel.

The hotel is an old Victorian style with high ceiling. Room is small have hard time placing our 2 luggage’s. The water pressure is ver hard to control. The water tend to go either too hot or cold during the shower which you need to kept adjusting which is kind of annoying. Small little bathroom but there’s space to place your toiletries. The only problem I believe the building underneath is the underground tube is running quite frequently. You can hear the rumbling sound when the train pass by.
