We've stayed at many budget hotels in London over the past years but when our flight changed to Heathrow this year we wanted to change to the Paddington area in order to be close to the train back to the Airport. When checking for a convient hotel to the Paddington station we selected the Dolphin for it's close proximity to... more

Booked a one night stay, as was going to the chelsea flower show, Location of the hotel was fine for that and within walking distance of Oxford Street area for shopping and going out in the evening. I had read on the website that I booked this through that it had be recently reburbished. On arrival we checked in and... more

I stayed here on two separate occasions for one night because it was the cheapest I could find and I was on a tight budget. The first room was nice enough (room 4) - clean sheets, en suite and generally neat and tidy. I simply wanted somewhere to sleep, this wouldn't be a place Id choose for a holiday (its... more

This is for sure the worst hotel i have stayed in. The rooms are dull and the cleaning is pure. I had a madras, where i could feel the springs. If you for any reason deside to stay at this hotel, then don't ever accept the room in the basement. The beds are shaking due to the subway trains running... more

The best things to be said about this hotel are the location and the people who work there. After that, it's all down hill. The rooms are tiny. Our bathroom measured 3' by 4' (think about that!). The carpets throughout the hotel were filthy as was our bedspread. (The sheets were OK.) This is one of the hotels that assumes... more

I invite you to avoid this hotel if you want to have good vacation. We passed the last night with water falling from the ceiling to the TV; the cleaning is never done and the staff not always pleasant especially if you miss the breakfast at 09:03. The main advantage is that you are very close to the Paddington Station... more
