Dolphin Inn - The Lodge - A Victorian-era budget hotel near Paddington Station with free WiFi and family rooms

Dolphin Inn - The Lodge is a 2-star Victorian-era budget hotel housed in a mid-1800s building, originally a private residence, located 300 meters from Paddington Station. The hotel offers single, double, triple, and family rooms with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and parquet floors; family rooms accommodate up to five guests with bunk beds. Communal bathrooms are spread across the premises, and Norfolk Square Gardens, maintained by Westminster City Council, provides a tranquil green space nearby. The area includes quick access to the District, Circle, Bakerloo, and Hammersmith & City Underground lines, connecting directly to Heathrow Airport via the Heathrow Express and Connect services. Dining options like Mughal's, Micky's Fish and Chips, and Peking-Seoul Restaurant are within 300 meters. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Dolphin Inn - The Lodge.

Pros

The Victorian building retains original features, including restored fireplaces and cornices.

Proximity to Paddington Station provides direct transport links to Heathrow Airport and central London.

Family rooms accommodate up to five guests, making it suitable for budget-conscious groups.

Free WiFi is accessible in all guestrooms.

Cons

Some rooms use shared bathroom facilities located outside the units.

The area near Paddington Station can be busy due to high foot traffic.

“Near Paddington Station, this is a practical base with clean, if basic, rooms; several have park views. I appreciate that it offers family rooms, along with perks like mini-fridges and tea-making facilities. A solid value, especially given its proximity to transport and green space.”
