Guest Reviews
- Thomas (7/5): Location makes up for the steep stairs. - Excellent location close to Paddington Station Had to carry our luggage up 4 flights of stairs, and the final flight was very steep.
- Abby (5/5): Good location and money but not so good in the summer. - Great location lots of things to see and do in walking distance. Good value for money and staff were friendly. The room was to hot and only a little very noisy fan to help and it didn’t so didn’t sleep well at all. And the bathroom area smelled horrendous and didn’t want to go in it.
- Kalkman (9/5): - Easy and simple to check in/out
Great and simple breakfast served by a very nice member of staff The other guests were being a bit noisy in the evening but that's not the fault of the hotel. It only happened once as well.
And the shower was slightly too small for me, but I am also a rather large man so they can't be faulted for that
- Cornelia (6/5): Matratzen durchgelegen - Wir hatten zwei Betten, kein Hochbett Zu viele Jugendliche, die immer zu laut waren.
- Nicola (8/5): - Posizione ottima, pochi minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Paddington.
Stanza piccola ma luminosa (ultimo piano), vissuta ma pulita
Complessivamente buon rapporto prezzo/qualità Colazione spartana ma sufficiente
Passaggio sotterrneo dei treni percepibile anche all'ultimo piano
Scale ripide e strette, specialmente negli ultimi due piani
- NIKOLAOS LIGNOS (8/5): - The location was very close to Paddington station The room was very small for 2 persons
- Maruel (8/5): Central accommodation with good value for money - Excellent location, perfect for walking to Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and other places of interest. The hotel is on a street with many other hotels of the same style, so there are always people around. Paddington station is a 5-minute walk away and it also has a tourist bus stop right on the street corner.
The receptionist who checked us in when we arrived at the hotel was super friendly (we arrived at almost 1am) The windows didn't have good light insulation and we could hear the footsteps of the guests in the room above ours a lot, so we woke up super early every morning

- Donna (8/5): A convenient location, a surprisingly comfortable bed, very clean premises and an exceptional price - Conveniently located near Paddington Station I stayed on a Saturday night and I felt unsafe coming in and out of the premises due to male loiterers yelling and fighting with one another.
- katelin (8/5): Perfect accomodation, good price - Excellent location, spacious room
- Tanja (6/5): - Lage Sehr hellhörig, mit lauten Nachbarn und Teenegruppe die Party hatte.

- Sabrina (7/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - Ottima posizione , tenuto in ordine e pulito Eravamo all’ultimo piano e c’erano davvero tante scale , asciugamano solo 1 però tutto sommano se calcoliamo il prezzo che abbiamo speso è più che accettabile
- BARBARA (10/5): Bardzo polecam - Bardzo czysciitko i miło. Personel sympatyczny i pomocny. Słabe śniadania, ale dało się coś zjeść. Łóżka wygodne,.pokój mega czysciitko. Ogólnie bardzo nam się podobało i wrocilabyn chętnie w to samo miejsce. Słabe śniadania, mało urozmaicone, nie było w czym wybierać. Ale ogólnie trzeba było jeść to, co było i też można było się tym najeść.
- Catalina (8/5): -
- Floriane (6/5): Ok pour une nuit - Emplacement pratique Très très rudimentaire, bruit à cause de la gare et des trains la nuit
- Bernardo (9/5): Muy tranquilo - La ubicación Todo muy bien
- Marco (7/5): - Posizione ottima per prendere la metro e muoverti per Londra. Pulizia e stato della stanza.
- Monica (7/5): - Hotel con semplice adatto a soggiorni brevi Colazione troppo basica
- MARCO (8/5): -
- Ivan Vovk (9/5): -
- Iryna (9/5): -
- Giulio (8/5): Ottimo soggiorno a Paddington - Posizione, accoglienza, rapporto qualità prezzo. Bagno un po' angusto
- Ferrante (3/5): Pessimo rapporto qualità prezzo - La posizione è buona, 20 minuti di metro per arrivare in centro. La colazione internazionale non era abbondante ma era più che ottima stanza per 5 persone di 10 mq, invivibile; molto umida e fatiscente. Il bagno è malodorante e la pulizia pietrosa, anzi praticamente inesistente (si limitavano solamente a darci quotidianamente dei piccoli asciugamani), la finestra della camera era rotta ed era perennemente aperta. Per contrastare il caldo torrido della camera e l'umidità c'era solo un piccolo ventilatore.
- Sovannarath (8/5): -
- Massimiliano (8/5): - Colazione molto buona staff gentilissimo La camera assegnata era underground, con maggior rumore della metropolitana. Chiedete una camera aii piani alti
- Tessa (6/5): -
- JensF2 (8/5): Good London stay at Dolphin Inn - Hotel was ok, clean and according the description and Hotel class. Everything ok, just on the second last day the maid took our personal facecloth with her. Twice asking at the reception they had no big interest to solve the situation.
- Nicola (8/5): Posizione ottimale - Posizione Mancanza di spazi comuni
- tiziana (5/5): Quarto piano senza ascensore, scale strette e ripide, pavimento in camera sempre sporco - Mi è piaciuta la vicinanza alla metro La camera
- Sonia (6/5): Ubicación - La ubicación en Padington y cerca de una estación importante. Así como los bonitos alrededores. 63 escalones para llegar a mi habitación 😩 y angostos...
- Krystian (7/5): -
- David (10/5): Comfortable, good breakfast in a great location - Location close to Paddington station Tube noise underneath, but it is to be expected really so can’t complain
- Audrey (7/5): - Emplacement et personnel sympathique Lits et oreillers pas top. Petit déjeuner très simple et salle trop petite
- Richard (9/5): - Good location. Quiet and clean. Excellent value for money Small room
- Frederic (7/5): -
- Cruiser60495517848 (8/5): Good value for money - Great location, and excellent value for money. Room was small, but it was clean and quiet.
- Agnieszka (10/5): - Super personel, zameldowanie i wymeldowanie przebiegło bez problemów. Po wymeldowaniu mogłyśmy zostawić plecaki bez żadnej opłaty na przechowanie na parę godzin. Łóżka bardzo wygodne, w pokoju oraz łazience czysto. Wieczorami pod oknem na parterze było lekko głośno z ulicy.
- Serena (9/5): -

- Ilse (6/5): -
- Ana (8/5): - Ubicación, cerca de la estación Paddinton , todo muy limpio y desayuno buffet completo.La relación calidad- precio bastante bien. No hay ascensor y tuvimos que subir tres pisos cpn peldaños, en algunos tramos, muy pequeños.

- 326e145f6bde739ff8caea168c8e7796 (5/5): -
- 20f2991fc0a4703905ebd1a6e563d1a7 (8/5): April 2026 - Bra läge, nära tunnelbana och buss. Rent rum med kylskåp. Hjälpsam personal. För liten matsal vid frukosten. Lite störande ljud av tunnelbanan som grunder hotellet.

- Florian (7/5): -
- Jesty (9/5): -
- Francisco (7/5): Buena relación calidad / precio - -Cercanía a Bus y estación cercanías y metro.
-El incluir el desayuno (aunque fuera básico) es un punto muy a favor.
-Solicitamos planta baja para evitar escaleras y nos la concedieron.
-Muy buena atención en recepción.
-Zona tranquila y con bastantes servicios de restaurantes y comercios
En definitiva, si buscas algo con buena relación calidad/precio, aquí estarás a gusto. Se oía algo el retumbar del cercano metro.
La cortina de la ventana, dejaba pasar demasiada luz, por lo que si eres delicado para dormir, te despertará bien temprano.
- flora (6/5): - Το πρωινό οκ
Τοποθεσία κοντά στο τρένο και σε πολλά λεωφορεία Για 5 μέλη οικογένεια είχε κουκέτες μονο
- Lars (5/5): Ok så länge man inte får ett rum i källaren - Ett bra läge och en ok frukost samt trevlig personal. Efter att ha klagat på det dåliga källarrummet vi fick från början så fick vi ett helt ok rum de 2 sista nätterna. Bodde där 4 nätter. De 2 första fick vi ett riktigt nergånget rum nere i källaren där varken TV:n eller bordslampan fungerade från början och allt var så gammalt och nergånget. Hela rummet skakade när tunnelbanan åkte förbi och taklampan skramlade vilket gjorde att det inte gick att sova så länge tunnelbanetrafiken var igång (det var tyst mellan 1-6). Det känns som allt passerade vi det rummet vi hade från början innan det skickades till soptippen.
- FDIDONATO (6/5): Problema dimensione camere - Personale gentile colazione ottima 4 piano senza ascensore con gradini ultimi piani minuscoli, più volte stavo per cadere. Camera per 5 persone di circa 13mq minuscola, bagno minuscolo non ci si poteva muovere
- Burkhardt Robinson (8/5): Great location, food, and staff. Terrible beds. - Location is absolutely fantastic, breakfast was delicious, staff was very attentive and friendly. Matress on top bunk was stained, could feel springs. Very uncomfortable. Curtains on windows did not fully cover entire window
- Gytis (9/5): Kaip ir aprašyta. Kainą ir kokybė, lokacija. - Visa šeima 5 asmenys gyvenimą viename kambaryje. Lovos -dviaukštės, labai patogios. Kambarius tvarkė kasdien. Buvo -kava, arbata. Smagu buvo lipti į aukščiausią aukštą :) Lokacija labai gera. Dėl patogumo- galima dušo kilimėlis- rankšluostis.
- Julian (8/5): - Location, price, value for money
- vincent (2/5): Décevant - L'emplacement Le fait qu'on entend les trains donc impossible de dormir, on sent même les vibrations du train, douche ds la chambre et non une pièce à part , évier ds les toilettes tout petit, impossible même de se rafraîchir la figure et on vous dit eau non potable ! Petit déjeuner vraiment très très sommaire, des toasts froid et sec , aucun choix en confiture, pas du vrai café, salade de fruits en boîte , pas de choix en fruits non plus .
- Saya (9/5): 駅から近くて便利! - パディントン駅から近い 少し狭かったけど寝るだけなので大丈夫です。
- Tripodi (5/5): -
- 746antoniosc (10/5): I'd stay again - Great location next to Paddington station and price .. friendly stuff and clean room.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Great little room for a short stay. - Clean and comfortable, very well placed for Paddington. Small single room which was fine for me but a larger, taller person might find the bed a bit small.
- Bogachan Orhan (10/5): -
- Michiel (8/5): - Excellent value for money
- Giovanni (8/5): -
- Maria Ehlim (8/5): -
- Ana Karina (10/5): Excelente - Excelente
- annerX4988VE (8/5): Basic, cheap but perfectly ok! - Room was small (as expected for such a low price), it was clean, bed was comfortable. Noisy but that was to be expected for area.
- Hiroko (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff. Nothing.
- Pamela (9/5): Consiglio!! - Check in e check out veloci e semplici! Receptionist simpatico e accogliente! Sapeva un po' di italiano ed è stato divertente!
Camera come in foto, piccola, ma con tutto il necessario e soprattutto pulita! Sanitari e biancheria davvero puliti. Mi ero portata tutto il mio kit da viaggio di pulizia, ma non è stato necessario😉 Il secondo giorno rientrando in camera la sera, abbiamo anche trovato il lavabo nuovo e quello che c'era non era necessariamente da sostituire, era solo un po' più piccolo e c'era una piccola crepa sull'esterno. Non metto solo 10 perché l' ingresso in camera è davvero strettino e con le valigie non è stato semplicissimo, ma divertente!
Inoltre nel cassetto del comodino vicino al letto singolo c'era un boxer da uomo, ma abbiamo semplicemente riso tanto e lo abbiamo lasciato lì senza utilizzare il cassetto!
- Ayelen (8/5): -
- Piero (8/5): - Posizione, cortesia Nulla
- Gabrielabenta (9/5): Superado las expectativas. Volvería - El hotel es como todos en Londres , la zona tranquila y seguro , llena.de sitio donde comer desayunar comprar recuerdos . Pedí al hotel camas en vez de literas y me hicieron caso xq íbamos 4 adultas y una joven .baño reducido pero correcto. Limpio ,nos cambiaron la toallas cada día , nos hicieron las camas.
El desayuno incluido es escaso y igual cada día . No tienen sacarina . Solo azúcar y azúcar negro . Las camas cómodos , hay habitaciones con baño privado y sin baño privado . El check in lo tienes que hacer en otra puerta que no es donde te alojas pero en la misma calle . No hablan nada de Español . Las almohadas son muy finitas pero las doblas y solucionado. Importante: baño pequeño pero limpio , camas cómodas y cambias toallas a diario .
Tener en cuenta que vas a dormir , nosotros desde las 8 que salíamos no volvíamos hasta las 8 de la noche a ducharnos y dormir . Entonces por lo que pagamos 4 personas 319 libras no esta mal para ser marzo . El desayuno escaso y sin variedad . No tener sacarina , si eres diabético vas jorobado . El café es malísimo.
- Santoni (10/5): soggiorno piacevole, rumori dei vicini quasi inesistenti. - ottima posizione e ben collegata ai servizi, posizione agevole per ristorante, supermercati e negozi utili. Bagno in camera e bagno in comune sempre funzionanti e puliti.

Clean, close to public transportation, quiet.
- Damir (8/5): -
- clare (7/5): Good - Good location Small room
- Domínguez Gutiérrez (4/5): No me gustó - La ubicación No me gustó las escaleras, el último tramo empinadas y peligrosas, subir tres tramos con una maleta de 22 kilos, una odisea, 4 días de estancia y no han limpiado el suelo ningún día, eso sí, las toallas limpias a diario, los colchones dejan mucho que desear, hundidos todos, el personal agradable y el desayuno está bien.
- Simone (6/5): Comodo - Posizione, facilità di prenotazione/gestione contatti struttura. Personale, tv non funzionante, non troppo pulito.

- Lara-Marie (6/5): - Die Lage und der billige Preis Wir waren im obersten Stock, dass bedeutete für uns nach lange tagen 6 schmale und sehr steile Treppen nach oben, der duschgriff ist abgebrochen, es ist nicht gründlich gesaugt worden und es war hellhörig trotzdem war es dem preis entsprechend und wir waren zufrieden
- Ralucutap1 (8/5): - Great location, good rooms It was all good
