Great location, nice staff and clean room. Had to wait 2 hours to get checked in as our room wasn't ready when we arrived, despite arriving long aftter check in. As with alot of London, the hotel has alot of floors only accessible by stairs no lifts or ramps. The bathroom had a great shower and was very clean. The... more

Myself, wife & (adult) daughter spent 2 weekend nights at this hotel at a cost of less than £180. So that's approx £30 per night each. Yes, that's in Central London and as ever you get what you pay for. It's basic, some of the furniture is old and the odd lick of paint wouldn't go amiss in places. Cleanliness... more

This place was a real find... in trendy Paddington..... Cheap but clean, tidy and friendly. The only minus was hard beds and a train noises in the dead of night. FANTASTIC hot running water in a small bathroom. Even though it has a late check in they still stored my luggage while I explored London and they stored my luggage... more

We stayed at the Dolphin hotel during xmas 2008. This is a great family run hotel, with very clean rooms and a very helpful and polite staff. The hotel is centrally located and provided a perfect start for discovering London. The money - value ratio at the Dolphin hotel is perfect. We are looking forward to stay at the Dolphin... more

Just fiew minutes walk from Paddington station, and from there 20 minutes to Heathrow airport by train and 10 minutes away from Londons main attractions. If you don't need excellent room service (you can... more

We've stayed at many budget hotels in London over the past years but when our flight changed to Heathrow this year we wanted to change to the Paddington area in order to be close to the train back to the Airport. When checking for a convient hotel to the Paddington station we selected the Dolphin for it's close proximity to... more

I stayed here on two separate occasions for one night because it was the cheapest I could find and I was on a tight budget. The first room was nice enough (room 4) - clean sheets, en suite and generally neat and tidy. I simply wanted somewhere to sleep, this wouldn't be a place Id choose for a holiday (its... more
