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.

Was clean and steps away from Paddington Station.
The beds were comfy but pillows needed some work as well as the bathroom stock.

Lots of steps
The biggest down side for me was I was on the 4th floor with very narrow steps.There is nothing on website about this and as I am almost 70 it was difficult.Shower was very slow to get hot but there was a fridge and bed was comfy.

Great hotel, friendly staff
The hotel is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants and public transport. The room is suitable for short stays, well equipped (fridge, kettle, tea, coffee), clean, comfortable beds. Noise from the metro is a bit loud but not disturbing. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Close to Paddington station. Small but clean and had everything I needed. Only negative was the long climb up the stairs with my full size suitcase but I took it slow and managed. I would stay here again.
