The room itself was large, which surprised me because I was traveling solo. It was clean & quite lovely. Some of the impartial reviews are ridiculous. My room was updated, quiet, & the beds were comfortable. Yes, beds, I had two beds in my room. The breakfast was more than I expected & delicious. I would definitely stay here again. The location is an absolute dream. It's a five minute walk to the underground (tube) & the train station. The underground was difficult because it's not handicapped accessible. If you cross the street to the train station, it's easier to take the tube. So many souvenir shops on each street, which was overwhelming for a shopaholic like me lol. Many good restaurants, markets, & it's 20 minutes by tube or bus to Central London. Seriously, this is a must place to stay. You won't regret it. A word to the wise, invest in a high quality hooded rain poncho & keep it with you 24/7.

In terms of location, there are several shops, restaurants, cafes, laundromats, pharmacies, and grocery stores for convenience. Deepa is just a wonderful caring person and is briliant in how she operates her bed-and-breakfast. She puts out a great spread for breakfast every morning which is delicious, fresh, and scrumptious. Make sure you get one of her special croissants. Rooms are very well cleaned and has all the conveniences you would need which include a comfortable bed, a private bathroom/shower, a TV, and a closet to name a few. There is also a common area on the second floor where you could lounge to relax, use the computer, the kitchen, and mingle with other travelers. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to London. I plan to stay here on my next trip.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Paddington Train station -- our plans included a…read morequick trip on the Heathrow Express that departs from Paddington. This hotel was easily within walking of the Paddington Train station and the Paddington tube station. We arrived early to max out our London time and to take the kids to the nearby Hyde Park to play in Princess Diane's Memorial Playground. Not all of our group was staying at the hotel, but we were traveling together. The early arrival was fine with them -- they not only offered to stash the suitcases, but also to place them in our room. Knowing that many London hotels do not always have elevators to the room, I was pretty happy with this arrangement. There was a breakfast promotion going on, but we did not participate. We did enjoy a stellar dinner one evening in the small restaurant. Our room was an Executive Twin -- 2 twin beds pushed together under one beautiful canopy. It made me wonder if the same room was marketed as an Executive King. The room was very luxurious for what we paid -- perhaps we hit a seasonal low. I have stayed at other places in the Paddington area. This was really nice. Bathroom was new-ish, white and cream in colour, and had a tub. Beside each bed was a linen foot cloth with slippers. White bathrobes were hung on the back of the bathroom door. Coffee service was provided with a Nespresso machine. Pretty posh. Pillows included 1 feather pillow per bed. The bed was very comfortable. Wi-fi was excellent. This is an old building, so you will need ear plugs if walking overhead disturbs your sleep. We could hear every step. Minor negs: I was taught to clean by German nuns, so take that fact under consideration. (1) The tub appeared clean, but in reality it had a ring from the prior user. Not dirt, since most of us bathe/shower daily, but a ring nevertheless. A quick wipe with Ivory liquid and we both enjoyed baths in an immaculate tub. The next evening, we had to remove our own rings from the prior day. (2) The tub drain also had hair in it from prior occupants. (3) I moved the Nespresso machine to a more convenient location -- about a foot closer to the edge of the small table. That's when I noticed enough dust to write in. When we arrived back the next evening, it had been moved back to sit perfectly within the dust. I have vision problems and even I could see the dust. (4) The hotel participates in not changing sheets daily. (5) The bathroom light over the sink was either broken or simply something on display.

The rooms can be a bit small and there is very little room to put your toiletries in the bathroom. The large bowl-shaped sink takes up most of the counter so you are forced to squeeze in your stuff uber and around the bowl. Sadly, the faucet BARELY makes it over the edge of the bowl so when you wash your hands, water goes everywhere and ends up spreading around the counter and gets your toiletries wet! Ugh!! That one detail is definitely not up to the normal Hotel Indigo standard in my opinion. Whoever designed the bathroom should never be hired again! This should be a 3 star review based on that. But.... The saving grace was the front desk and the maintenance guy. We quickly discovered that our safe didn't work. The front desk got the maintenance guy to our room quickly and he reset it. When we were ready to leave, it failed again so they summoned the maintenance guy again. He reset it but it failed again. So he proceeded to replace the safe. Those things are HEAVY!!! The poor guy had to lug it up from downstairs, unbox it, take out the old one, install the new one and then lug the old one back downstairs!! This guy was sweating profusely but handled everything so professionally. So kudos to him and the front desk for making this happen so quickly, thus the 4 stars!!

I almost feel bad writing this review since the employees here were all courteous, but for the price you pay, this hotel is a bit of a disaster. Other reviewers weren't joking - the hotel rooms here are literally closet sized. I barely fit all my luggage inside. To add insult to injury I was placed in a basement room. It smelled of mildew and the gas pipe right outside my window. The bed was hard as a rock and I woke up with a terribly stiff neck. If I hadn't been so exhausted when I arrived I would have demanded a new room, yet somehow I feel most of the other rooms aren't much better. Thankfully I only had to spend one night here. Doing more than that would likely be impossible, since you would need a serious chiropractic adjustment afterwards. I didn't really believe the bad reviews but I should have. Learn from my mistake!

The room was quite small but got the job done. As expected, there was no air con (increasingly a gamble here in summer), no lift, no frills. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean enough. Other than the very occasional gentle rumble of a train, it was very quiet, the location on Norfolk Square quite pleasant. I didn't even realize my rate included breakfast, and that was good. The scrambled eggs and homemade rice pudding elevated it beyond the bare minimum continental buffet.

We were on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, and the stairs were EXTREMELY steep and narrow (it was a pain to carry luggage upstairs). I do not recommend using the shower as there is mold in the shower everywhere, I thought I was gonna catch a disease. Definitely the worst hotel I have stayed at. There are marks all over the walls and chips in the paint everywhere. There was also sticky dirt on the walls. The bathroom was really crammed as my sister is 5'3 and when using the restroom her legs were touching the sink! In summary, don't stay at the dolphin hotel unless you want to feel like your staying in an old dollhouse that belongs to a sticky three year old.
