I forgot her name who assisted us on our first day. For a tired traveler, it is important to feel welcome & sure enough we felt that from her. She was very helpful, friendly, & making us feel comfortable. The place is old Victorian style. They clean our room every single day that made us feel relax for every long tiring day.

Dolphin is a typical Hotel in the Sussex Gardens Norfolk Square area. Adequate no frills rooms at a reasonable price and good for a short 1-2 night stay and very convenient for transport links etc. can be a bit noisy and there is a lot of litter around the square. But overall ok and as per expectations.
