Room were airy and spacious. Comfy bedding, quality linens and an overall feeling of comfort. The Pimlico underground station was within an easy walk, as well as nice cafes and a neighborhood pub. Will plan to return!

Only thing good is location. Everything else is very basic at super expensive rate.

Quiet. King bed comfortable. Close to underground station and train station.

The unit itself was acceptable. The water was extremely hot and I told them they needed to adjust the temperature or someone was going to get burned. The bathroom was very small, but it worked. There is no air conditioning and the windows don't open much, so it gets stale and hot in the room. They have a refrigerator, a microwave and a sink which is very nice. The beds were comfortable which was very important to us. The building itself seemed neglected. The carpet leading to our room looked extremely old and smelled. Our biggest issue was with their staff. We stayed there eight nights, and only once were we greeted with a smile, so if you don't mind poor customer service, this is the place for you. The night we checked in, we wanted to do laundry. My wife called the front desk and the man that answered said it was free. He said it was in the basement, so we went down. We followed the signs that said Launderette and eventually got there. When we arrived, it was coin operated. My wife stayed there while I made the long trek back to the front desk. I told the man that we were told it was free, but it's not and we needed them to break our bills in order for us to do our laundry. He said he didn't have any and to check at the bar. They didn't have any to give to me so they said to check the shops. They also didn't have any so I had to walk back in to town. I finally found one shop that gave me 10 pounds and another one across the street that gave me the other 10 pounds.

I enjoyed our stay at the Dolphin house, this is the 3rd time we stayed there. I would not be going back if I did not like the place - i.e. the location, cleanliness, apartment layout, etc were all great. But, I need to mention a couple of negatives: I don't think I would stay there in summer months because of lack of air-conditioning. Also, while the staff is generally very friendly and try to be helpful, there is a communication problem. And the real problem with that is that some of the staff don't realize there is a communication problem.

The rooms were comfortable, the location was perfect, the staff was super helpful, and the amenities were great.

The property was clean. Front desk staff were kind and helpful. There was a plumbing issue, but was resolved without conflict. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

the hotel has all the conveniences available. it has laundry facility, the washer is a Maytag american size and we can actually wash a week's laundry. It also has a separate dryer. The location is only about 5 minutes walk to the tube station and has restaurants and groceries close by. The staff is friendly as well.

Great location away from busy tourist area yet very accessible to all the action. Food was good and gym and pool were excellent.

Great location closed to a low volume tube stop. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the kitchen—just enough equipment to cook and keep things cool in the fridge. Would have liked a more comfy chair in the apartment. Rooms are not sound proof at all and the maids seem bound and determined that all will be up by 8:45 every morning.

AWESOME place. Big rooms and big beds. Small kitchen area and bathtub. Great area to transport. Has lift. Has olimpic pool and spa access. Staff super friendly and helpful. 100% will go back

Overall a very nice place. Centrally located. Easy access to the tube and uber.

The rooms were good sized for London. Very clean! Be warned, there is no air conditioning. The room fan was too small to circulate the air. I would stay away in the summer. The front desk customer service was a bit lacking. We asked if they could help us get tickets and were told we had to book ourselves. The men seemed more knowledgeable than the women. They were all very polite. Would recommend for fall and spring.

It's disappointing to read that you did not enjoy your stay with us. I cannot comment on the type of apartment you booked as I do not have your booking details however we do offer everything from a king guest room to one bedroom deluxe apartments. Your booking, and therefore the rate you paid, was agreed directly with Orbitz. I’m sorry that this did not meet your expectations. Best wishes Jo
