Dolphin Hotel

Room was very small but functional. Needs a bit of TLC on the paintwork along the skirting boards. Bed was comfortable but the mattress needs to be turned more frequently as the mattress was sagging to one side due to many people sitting on the edge of the bed. When I was going to sleep I had to move further onto the bed so as not to fall out. Tv channels were a very much click and see what comes up. Does not conform to freeview channel numbers. Shower was OK. Would have liked a power shower but got a gentle drizzle. Would definitely stay again though.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Location is very good. Near to the paddington station and greatly accessible to the airport and and all local attractions.

Good place! Center area of London.

Kinda a strange hotel this one. The location is close to Paddington station which is convenient. There are many stores and restaurants nearby. The issue is that everything is shut by 11. There is one bar open till 12 and thats it. So if you coming for nightlife I would suggest another location. The check in was quick and easy and the receptionist was friendly. There is no lift so kinda inconvenient carry suitcase up 3 flights of stairs. And the really weird thing is they have rooms on left and right which looks the same. So i went to 3rd floor and tried to get in my room before going back to the reception and realising i went left instead of right haha. The carpet is old and tired but the rooms are clean. They are very small but they have everything you need just a little squashed. The window opened for fresh air and alot of charging points and lighting in the room. It was kinda noisy in the room as some german students were staying and you could hear them till the early hours. Breakfast voucher was giving to me which was a bonus as i didnt know i was getting it and bfast is in the basement. This is where it got awkward. There is a sign saying 'wait to be seated and served' so im waiting and the staff (around 4 of them are just looking at me and no one is coming. I stand there like a lemon and still no one coming but they looking so i dont know if to go in myself or keep waiting. I kept waiting and eventually someone came. They didnt say 'we have this, we have that help yourself. There was no communication so didnt know if they bringing something or u serve urself? So i waited a min or so and watched others then went to grab the food myself. Its a continental style but not bad. Had the main things, Tea, Coffee, toast, eggs, cheese, cereal. I think it not bad for a hotel of this value. I would stay here again myself for 1 night. More than 1 night i think is too small for me. But the price of this hotel is good and i think overall you getting more for your money here than elsewhere going off the location, clean room and breakfast.
