Just had another one-night stay at The Dolphin Hotel, where I get a good welcome and a small room that is ideal for my brief stay. The room was clean and I appreciate the en-suite loo & shower and also the in-room coffee & tea making facility. The Hotel position is great for local shops and restaurants and more, as well as being near to Paddington Station, where there are Underground and Bus connections.

Absolutely recommend staying here! The staff were great- always kind and welcoming. The hotel allows you to leave your luggage prior to check in as well so you can sight see if you arrive early. The room was very clean. The hotel was in a safe and convenient area (3 minute walk from the Paddington station). As a solo female traveler I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the area, even at night. The only thing I would suggest future guests to keep in mind is that due to the short distance from the station, you can hear the tube from the rooms. If you decide to go to sleep earlier this might be a problem for light sleepers- it never bothered me however. Overall I had an amazing stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone.
