Perfectly adequate for our needs. Round the corner from Paddington station. This is a Budget Hotel….so basic but clean friendly and by the beautiful Norfolk Gardens.

Good hotel for the price. Great location next to Paddington station, but because of that, you can hear the trains at night and in the morning.

Just had a one night stopover between train journeys.
It's clean, comfortable and only a couple of minutes from the station.
Would definitely use it again.

Very nice hotel, just blocks from the paddington station and the hop on off bus is right on the corner. I would recommend this hotel and would gladly stay there again. But be aware there is no air conditioning and there are a decent amount of stairs to tote your luggage up if you get rooms on higher floors.

No comp drinking water, no AC, very small room for 4. It’s probably a pov of a tourist since we are not from UK.

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.

The hotel is too old and dirty especially the public areas not the room, that was too small.
They should be rated as a 1 and a half star not a 3 as they pubish in the networks

Staff was amazing, rooms and inside are clean. There's a park across and surrounding buildings have renovations. The rooms are hot and a gap on the balcony opens for cool air, but people smoke right outside and fills the room like they are inside. If there's a.c I would stay again.

Bit dated, investment needed to modernise the hotel rooms. Friendly staff and great location.
