Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location for Paddington Station and staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean. Decor was as you’d expect from a budget hotel of this era- needs some work. Negatives are - you can feel the rumble of the tube trains, our bathroom door was soooo squeaky that you woke everyone else if you went in the night and I had an ice cold shower one morning as the hit just completely stopped working.

Great location for a quick stay
Fabulous and convenient location! 1-5 minutes walk from tube, 3-7 minutes walk from eateries, souvenir store right around the corner. But: it's an old building, which means great from hstoric point of view, but zero sound-proof. It's also located right above the tube line, so get ready for some shaking (which stops around 11pm). Bed was clean and tidy, shower worked perfectly, so I would def.recommend it for quick 1-night stay when you need only to drop your bags and your body :)

Lots of large groups in the hotel. I had a group of girls running in and out of each others rooms all night. Laughing and screaming all night long. I didn't get any sleep at all. One of the worst nights im afraid.

My experience was very satisfying. Due to my age, it was difficult to deal with stairs. Next time, I would ask for a room in a lower level. I still would recommend the Dolphin hotel to others.

I’ve traveled all over the world and have never stayed in such a disgusting place. We told them not to disturb our room and they went into our room while we were out. Made our bed, moved our personal items but left our dirty towels. They didn’t have a lift and refused to help 3 elderly ladies with our luggage up 4 flights of stairs. Room had cockroaches and one bed had pee stains on mattress. It had balls of hair from previous people. Disgusting

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.
