What Guests Say About Their Stay

Julie

Absolutely recommend staying here! The staff were great- always kind and welcoming. The hotel allows you to leave your luggage prior to check in as well so you can sight see if you arrive early. The room was very clean. The hotel was in a safe and convenient area (3 minute walk from the Paddington station). As a solo female traveler I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the area, even at night. The only thing I would suggest future guests to keep in mind is that due to the short distance from the station, you can hear the tube from the rooms. If you decide to go to sleep earlier this might be a problem for light sleepers- it never bothered me however. Overall I had an amazing stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

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.

It was a convenient location. I was on the fourth floor and the stairs seem to get narrower as you went up. If you have heavier suitcases you might ask to be on a lower floor. There wasn’t any hot water in the evening and the shower in the morning was warm without having the cold water turned on.

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.

Checked in at 1.30, very quick and friendly process, nice big, clean room with 4 beds, good shower etc, we all slept perfectly, no noise and was the perfect temperature (we came 20th Dec) . Lovely breakfast included in price, we had scrambled eggs on toast and some fruit. Location was about 2 / 3 mins walk from paddington station incredibly easy to find! The hotel is a bit tired , but for the price we paid compared to other hotels, it was excellent, no problems at all. Thank you :)

The hotel was pretty shabby with carpets in need of replacement on the stairs. My room was in the basement and was therefore too close to the underground. Extremely noisy and the room shook every time a train went under. I asked for a transfer but there were no other rooms. I won't book here again in case a basement room is allocated.
