Great day. Right near Paddington train station so transportation was never an issue. The only thing I will say is if you have limited mobility, this may not be the place for you to stay. As there is no elevator in around four stories.

Pros: •within walking distance to Paddington station, bus stops, hop on hop off bus stop, places to eat, souvenir shops •place was relatively clean. •Staff were friendly and helpful. Meh: •Room was somewhat small; we were out most of the time, so we didn't mind as much. But the bathroom felt tiny. I bumped the shower door and got a bruise, while my mom said she had trouble sitting on the toilet, she's a bit bigger and kept knocking down the toilet paper. :/ also, you can hear the underground. We were on the 2nd floor and we're not light sleepers so it didnt bother us, but I could see an issue for some people. Cons: •had trouble with shower water temperature, it would go between hot and cold. •no a/c; but they had an old fan to help but still was pretty hot at the end of july. •no stairs; so if you have a lot of luggage, keep that in mind.

No sleep!

On arrival the hotel was in a great location a few mintues by Paddington Station and the shops. Checking in was quick and staff was friendly. My room was ground floor with eveything I needed and clean. All too good to be true as the London underground runs right underneath my room and every 20 minutes the room was shaking. barely got any sleep, also 7 in the morning the cleaner was hoovering right by rooms door even when i put the do not disturb sign on my handle so my room was right by the breakfast room so i had so many noises with family, kids, screaming, plates, dishes. must of got about 3 hours sleep.

We were on the fourth floor which was a 92nd second stair climb. The bathroom was the size of an RV bathroom with shower and there were four single beds. It was perfect. Great wifi, decent breakfast, friendly staff. The circle line runs it but the underground is part of the culture of London.

I really enjoyed my short stay at the Dolphin Hotel, and would happily have stayed longer, or stay again. The only downside is the lack of air con (but a fan was provided) and the lack of lift given I had a large suitcase. Otherwise, it was a clean and tidy room with everything needed, and being so close to Paddington Station made getting around London very easy. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. For the price paid, I found this hotel great value. Would definitely recommend.
