Good Short Stay.

I had another good visit to The Dolphin Hotel, where the greeting is good and helpful. For my overnight stay, the room is small but clean and, with a very comfortable bed, I slept well, followed by a good shower in the morning.

Absolutely fine for a cheap hotel. Good location, adequate facilities. Was a bit noisy with other guests and trains, but pretty quiet between 11pm and 7am. No complaints.

The hotel was super warm and we couldn't get the room temperature down. The bathroom was tiny and beds were uncomfortable. We only spent a night here to be close to the train- I would not recommend you stay here for longer than that.

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.
