Dolphin Inn

Bad

Convenience, nice staff One of the mattresses wasn't the best

Very good location Good breakfast withplenty to eat, but some strange choices i.e. chocolates swiss roll for breakfast That was decaffeinated coffee Change rooms on arrival has a room we was offered about four flights of stay and suffer from Parkinson’s. I couldn’t manage to climb. We also had four bunkbeds and no double bed. We were assigned room in the main hotel that had a much better room with a double bed.

Excellent value for money hotel, in a great central position, good access to rail. tube and bus routes, good cafes and restaurants available

For a single room in fairly central London, it was a good size, and well equipped. It was quite a bonus to have a decent sized fridge in the room, especially for someone like me who enjoys tea with fresh milk, which I obtained from the nearby, 24-hour Tesco Express, which was barely a 5 minute walk away. The shower in the en suite was a decent size, good water pressure, and hot water. Probably could have done with an extra shelf in there for stuff, but it was a very useable bathroom. The restaurant was down in the basement, as they often are in these London hotels, which is a bit dicey for anyone who's not great with narrow stairs and a low ceiling. Still, the food options were good: the cooked breakfast was very tasty; there was a good quality coffee machine that offered lattes, hot chocolates, americanos, etc, along with a good selections of juices; plus cereals, yoghurt, etc. The only nit-pick was the toast was a bit chewy; not entirely sure how they toasted it but it wasn't very crunchy. Nice enough. The staff in general were polite and helpful, but the restaurant staff were particularly friendly. The location was only a few minutes walk from Paddington tube station, which was very handy for getting about. Was pretty quiet overnight, which was helpful, as I stayed in June when it was hot and needed the window wide open. The hotel is in a nice little square alongside other hotels, so feels pretty safe. 24 hour reception or access with your room card, so getting in and out was a breeze. Would happily stay here again. There was a TV in the room, but the signal was so terrible it was more for decorative purposes. I think only BBC News worked. Mind you, Wi-Fi signal was good so I was able to use my laptop quite happily instead. As I arrived late into the night, I wanted a snack so went to the aforementioned Tesco for some food bits, but then realised I didn't have a bowl so asked to borrow one, but was told they couldn't / don't do that, which seemed needlessly unhelpful.

Good

Passable

Poor

The staff was friendly and the location was amazing. The area around Paddington is nice for food places and perfectly connected with lots of underground services. Also the breakfast was nice and the room was clean. Great value for money. The furniture is a bit old. But I think that's part of the hotel's character and I couldn't ask for anything more for the price.

Good location to Paddington tube station. Ideal for cental london Everything was ok. Breakfast was basic, but good selection, only thing hot was scrambled egg and toast

Good value for money and great location Room was very small with no room for luggage/bags, but I knew that on booking

Room was.clean staff were helpful The bathroom had a sewage smell.

The location. Great Central location,, very clean

Incredible location! 4 minute walk to paddington station with tons of neighborhood activities. Room very small and basic. 2 bunk beds, a fan and small bathroom. Staff friendly. Mattress could stand to be replaced. It was hot! Fan not large enough.

The location was a 5 minute walk from Paddington Station, with lots of places to eat nearby. We stayed in 36C heatwave and the room was stiflingly hot.

Check-in was easy and the room was clean and had enough space for sleeping and the luggage. Even though the walls are thin, it was quite in the night also from the outside so we could keep the window open. Food, stores public transport and the Hyde Park are all close by. Letting the luggage at the reception was helpful after the checkout. The bath was really small.

Good location - close to the underground, cafes, clean rooms When we checked into the hotel, the lady at the reception told us our room number and that it was on the fourth floor, and that your room wasn't in that building - she didn’t say. We with luggage climbed up the narrow steps to the 4th floor with our suitcases, naturally we didn’t find our room there, then we went down again, approached her, she said - you have to go outside… no any details…and only when I got angry and tired of searching for who knows what and returned to reception a second time and asked to be shown to the building where my room was, she went and showed - my entrance was several entries down after the entrance to another hotel (Rave, I think it's called), and then this hotel continues again. I think it was very rude not to show the correct entrance to my room ☹️

Excellent location close to Paddington Station Had to carry our luggage up 4 flights of stairs, and the final flight was very steep.
