The photos on Expedia made the property seem nice than it was, the rooms felt more like an outdated hostile than a $200 a night hotel room.

Like staying in Paddington for the convenient transport options. First time at the Dolphin. Would stay again. Breakfast buffet good value at £7. I was in a basement single room. Excellent shower and room space. Yes, the staircases are steep and the rumble of the trains can be heard but hey, this is historic London. Just go with it and enjoy.

The room was basic, but it was spotless and the bed comfortable. Huge plus is the small fridge in the room. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The site makes it clear that there is no lift, but I had a suitcase that I wasn't going to need during my stay and hoped not to have to lug it up four flights of stairs. The staff so very kindly let me put it in their left luggage area, which saved my back! You cannot beat the location as well, with public transportation two blocks away and restaurants everywhere. Terrific accommodations!

There is no elevator and staff are only available at limited times to assist if at all. No commitment to help. Breakfast was good.

Easy to get to from the station. Looked after our bags. We were on the basement floor so could hear the underground a little. May bother a lighter sleeper but otherwise all good!

I had another good visit to The Dolphin Hotel, where the greeting is good and helpful. For my overnight stay, the room is small but clean and, with a very comfortable bed, I slept well, followed by a good shower in the morning.

No lift, so if you’re on the third or fourth floor be prepared! The room is functional, nothing impressive, but the staff were very helpful and the location is great.
