Like staying in Paddington for the convenient transport options. First time at the Dolphin. Would stay again. Breakfast buffet good value at £7. I was in a basement single room. Excellent shower and room space. Yes, the staircases are steep and the rumble of the trains can be heard but hey, this is historic London. Just go with it and enjoy.

The room was basic, but it was spotless and the bed comfortable. Huge plus is the small fridge in the room. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The site makes it clear that there is no lift, but I had a suitcase that I wasn't going to need during my stay and hoped not to have to lug it up four flights of stairs. The staff so very kindly let me put it in their left luggage area, which saved my back! You cannot beat the location as well, with public transportation two blocks away and restaurants everywhere. Terrific accommodations!

The photos on Expedia made the property seem nice than it was, the rooms felt more like an outdated hostile than a $200 a night hotel room.

Very economic. Certainly not the fanciest but that’s the point. It’s a nice cheaper option especially for the location. Easy access to train station. Lots of shopping and dining in walkable area. Near Hyde park. The breakfast was just okay and the shower temp was a bit hard to manage. But price for location it’s perfect.
