The Dolphin and staff were great! And close to Paddington. Expedia did not send change of check-out date to hotel resulting in an extra 100 GBP charge for an an extra night. I hope Expedia refunds me for the mistake.

A good short stay.
Even though I was late arriving, and had lost my paperwork earlier, I was still greeted with courtesy and a helpful attitude at the reception desk, which put me at ease. The room was small, but ideal for my short stay with a clean en-suite and ample shower, with hot water. I was able to relax, and sleep in a comfortable bed. The TV worked and the positions of lighting switches and sockets was good. There was a working fridge, (which I didn't use). The Kettle for Tea & Coffee was provided and worked well. I have stayed at The Dolphin Hotel several times and I got the feeling that there has been some improvements made. As a solo short stay visitor, I find The Dolphin offers a good service at a reasonable price for London, but I do advise to book well in advance.

We had a great time staying at the dolphin, it was so close to Paddington station With a quiet park right across the street, and the front desk staff was very helpful! We’re planning to stay there again the next time we come to London.

There was a lot of issues e.g. the chargers were hard to get to and we had to move the bedside table, my daughters charger got very warm , the tv didnt work, the shower took ages to warm up and the grate in the bathroom kept falling off and left a hole on the bathroom floor when it did and the water took ages to drain in the shower

I only needed a bed for the night and it was adequate for that reason. The underground would have woken me at 6am, when it started, if the Gulls had not already. They let me drop my bag early which was great and the staff were very polite. Did not stop for breakfast, so could not tell you much more about the place. Very convenient for Paddington railway station and underground.

We just stayed for one night, it's not the most fancy hotel of course, and is priced accordingly. Simple room with comfortable beds and friendly staff; that's all we really cared about and they got it right. We arrived slightly before check-in time but they let us check-in anyway. They offered free baggage storage on checkout day as well which meant we could enjoy an extra few hours in london without carrying all our stuff around. It's just a couple of minutes walk from several tube lines and also from the heathrow express. It sits on a very quiet and classically west london little square. Served our needs perfectly.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was alright, however, I was staying on the main floor and could hear every single person coming in and out of the building, as well as the door to breakfast was right outside of my room and would slam constantly every early morning. I grew up with trains so I thought I would be okay with them .... they come every minute. It was constant shaking and loud noises. The room itself was passable, small but appropriate for how cheap it was. The shower was small however typical for a city location. Overall, the room was okay but the noise was horrendous. If you do choose to stay at this site, if they try and put you in the main floor room, I would recommend you ask them for a different room.

Comfortable hotel with nice location.
Subway ran underneath hotels on that block, which made it shake gently. This was different and not bad, but it is good to know what it is and that it is nothing to worry about. Some people may not do well with it, but if you are aware then you can say, ok this is what it is and be ok with it. Location was good as it was an easy walk to Paddington Station and to Hyde Park.

It’s a comfortable, clean, basic room for the money, can’t be beat. Located on a leafy London block just a stone’s throw from Paddington station, which is 20 mins to Heathrow via Heathrow Express. Staff are courteous and on the ball. Only caveat: some economy rooms are in the basement with a steep flight of descending stairs. Can’t be helped, it’s an old Victorian building, but important to know.

Exactly as advertised in the pictures. Amazing central location 1min walk to Paddington station and underground, lots of restaurants within moments. Staff really lovely at breakfast and kept replenishing the breakfast buffet throughout our time at the table. Breakfast included scrambled eggs (which wasn’t in pictures) but no pastries which is what I thought was standard for continental breakfast. Worth noting though that the shower room and toilet is very tiny, and that because it’s a listed building there is no lift so you have to take your suitcases up a lot of narrow stairs. I would stay there again if I had just backpack/carry on bags rather than large suitcases.
