Comfortable, affordable hotel near Paddington Station. Small room but worked well for a couple of nights to easily get around London.

For a cheap hotel it was a fine hotel. Good value for money. They couldn't help the immense heat of London, which meant the room was extremely hot. They were very helpful in getting us a different room in the hotel, which we very much appreciated.
The location is excellent and the breakfast is good value

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.

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.

Warning - do not book
Warning: Do not book a room at this place. Sweage smell filling up the whole room comming from the bathroom. The double-bed room is definitely not a bed for two people. We even had a bullet hole in our window. no hot water in the shower and tiny towels and no shampoo.
Extremely hot room without AC. total scam. I have lived at hostels that were better that this.

Good Short Stay.
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.

Good hotel in Paddington area. Also very close to tube and train stations. The area is full of souvenir shops, bars, restaurants and small sea quiet area.
