Dolphin Inn - The Lodge

The hotel isn’t that far from Paddington Station, just past McDonald’s. But you have to go to the Dolphin Hotel to check in first to get keycard for the Lodge Hotel. I was nicely welcomed when I first arrived. My room was luckily only on the first floor as there are only stairs. Was a nice size room with a choice of four beds to choose from. The one I chose I slept well in. There is tea and coffee facilities in the room including a fridge. I certainly would stay here again.

Location is perfect! Only 2 mins walk from the Paddington Station (Zone 1 in London), access via Praed Street. The luggage storage facility and the staff were really helpful. The staff were also communicative and friendly, every single message from me was always replied promptly. They even helped me accepting a package that my UK friend sent from another town to me and it arrived two days prior to my check-in date. I’m sincerely grateful for that.

The bedroom was fine. The hotel is well situated, close to tube station. Loads of restaurants/shops nearby as well. The staff was nice.

The ground floor room requested was available. However, the room was very warm and stifling but a fan was provided and everything was in working order. Staff were pleasant and helpful. No one was available to check me out in the very early morning despite being told there would be but I managed to leave the room card in reception.
