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.

My dear friend and I spent six nights at the dolphin Hotel. The location is fantastic. The hotel is older, but it’s quaint. If you get the twin rooms, the beds are very close to each other. The staff are very kind. The rooms were very clean. We had a couple days where the hot water was a little dodgy, but all in all we enjoyed the hotel. It’s charm and the staff. We only had breakfast one day and it wasn’t great.
