Just had another one-night stay at The Dolphin Hotel, where I get a good welcome and a small room that is ideal for my brief stay. The room was clean and I appreciate the en-suite loo & shower and also the in-room coffee & tea making facility. The Hotel position is great for local shops and restaurants and more, as well as being near to Paddington Station, where there are Underground and Bus connections.

Location is good. Close to bus and tube and still not loud. Park outside, hardly no traffic outside window. Room and bathroom clean in general but do not drop things under a bed.. Small room to fit a family. Breakfast, lobby and reception is more hostel-level than hotel-level. In total a hostel feel more than a hotel. I guess this is what you get if you pay what we paid - which was still considerable.
