Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel’s very well located, a few steps from Paddington Station in a nice square, but very noisy with spring loaded doors slamming all morning and evening.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.
The room was clean and adequate for a short stay, the staff was extremely helpful and assisted in getting me in early, and the overall atmosphere was like staying with a friend.
This was great, around the corner from paddington station, great cafes, restaurants nearby, the staff at the hotel was great, and the breakfast was good too.
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.
