Our take
Nineteenth-century townhouses with some original features give the Dolphin a little character, and Paddington Station is a short walk away. Rooms are simple, there is a restaurant, and Wi-Fi is free. A 7.2 rating across nearly 800 reviews is modest, so I would choose it for value-focused travellers who want the station close and accept basic comfort.
- Take advantage of the free Wi-Fi to plan your daily excursions around London.
- Walk to Paddington Station for easy access to the Underground and national rail services.
- Explore the local area around Paddington for quick dining options and amenities.
