Excellent stay
We stayed for 3 days. Excellent service! Very friendly staff. Super convenient to many places we wanted to see. Thankfully, we were able to walk because there was a stroke going on for the trains and tube which caused grid lock. Definitely would stay there again

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.

We love the history of the building. The room was so cute! The room was clean, good size and had the cutest window looking out toward the square. We enjoyed our stay.

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.

The photos on Expedia made the property seem nice than it was, the rooms felt more like an outdated hostile than a $200 a night hotel room.

No sleep!
On arrival the hotel was in a great location a few mintues by Paddington Station and the shops. Checking in was quick and staff was friendly. My room was ground floor with eveything I needed and clean. All too good to be true as the London underground runs right underneath my room and every 20 minutes the room was shaking. barely got any sleep, also 7 in the morning the cleaner was hoovering right by rooms door even when i put the do not disturb sign on my handle so my room was right by the breakfast room so i had so many noises with family, kids, screaming, plates, dishes. must of got about 3 hours sleep.

One night at the Dolphin
The room was quite small, just barely wider than the twin bed therein. Some evening noise from adjacent buildings, which did 'stop' around 11pm or so. The fan helped me to sleep that night, and it was an overnight stop for me so I could catch an early plane out of Heathrow the next day. The price was good; however, I would not stay for more than a day - even though it is conveniently located close to Paddingon and Hyde Park.
