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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

The photos on Expedia made the property seem nice than it was, the rooms felt more like an outdated hostile than a $200 a night hotel room.
