Small little Victorian style hotel.
The hotel is an old Victorian style with high ceiling. Room is small have hard time placing our 2 luggage’s. The water pressure is ver hard to control. The water tend to go either too hot or cold during the shower which you need to kept adjusting which is kind of annoying. Small little bathroom but there’s space to place your toiletries. The only problem I believe the building underneath is the underground tube is running quite frequently. You can hear the rumbling sound when the train pass by.

I forgot her name who assisted us on our first day. For a tired traveler, it is important to feel welcome & sure enough we felt that from her. She was very helpful, friendly, & making us feel comfortable. The place is old Victorian style. They clean our room every single day that made us feel relax for every long tiring day.

Good place to stay in an excellent location
Simple, no frills hotel in an excellent location for exploring London and near the tube. We walked to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens going to Buckingham Palace and Kensington Gardens. Easy to get the tube into central London and with one change to the O2. Very nice and helpful hotel staff. Stayed in a clean and spacious basement room after asking to be moved from a fifth floor room, due to the many stairs and no lift which I struggled with being a pensioner! Great shower. Can hear the rumble of trains, but was not a problem as was out most of the time. Staff did inform us if we moved rooms it would be noisier. Simple breakfast included in the price of toast, cereal, cheese etc which was all I needed. Can pay a few pounds extra for a cooked breakfast if needed.

Great location for a quick stay
Fabulous and convenient location! 1-5 minutes walk from tube, 3-7 minutes walk from eateries, souvenir store right around the corner. But: it's an old building, which means great from hstoric point of view, but zero sound-proof. It's also located right above the tube line, so get ready for some shaking (which stops around 11pm). Bed was clean and tidy, shower worked perfectly, so I would def.recommend it for quick 1-night stay when you need only to drop your bags and your body :)

Lots of large groups in the hotel. I had a group of girls running in and out of each others rooms all night. Laughing and screaming all night long. I didn't get any sleep at all. One of the worst nights im afraid.

My experience was very satisfying. Due to my age, it was difficult to deal with stairs. Next time, I would ask for a room in a lower level. I still would recommend the Dolphin hotel to others.
