Nice bachelor pad with some history by the Thames.

This place at the rather political notorious Dolphin Square provided a bijou apartment that was just comfortably a bachelor's pad. At check-in I was given a WiFi access voucher that was only valid for one device, to connect other devices, you either tethered to your mobile phone or had to pay extra. The living is joined to a small kitchen, that has a stove, a microwave oven and a small fridge freezer, there is no washing machine or dishwasher. There is a launderette in the apartment complex, a dry cleaners, a gym and spa and a local supermarket/grocery. There is a flat screen television in the living room and the bedroom with ample storage in the reception. You probably cannot run a home office from this apartment and there is no air conditioning or fans installed. It is close to the Pimlico Underground Station and for casual walks the Thames Path leads to Chelsea Bridge and on to Battersea Park. It was quiet when I was there. For a few night's it is ideal, it would in my view work for long stayers as a home.

The property was clean and comfortable, and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The property has a spa, a restaurant, a pool, and a coffee shop. The beds were comfy, the room was cleaned and towels replaced daily. There’s a small shop in the eastern corridor passed the steps, but also a Tesco nearby, as well as several other shops and amenities. There is a primary school across the street, so it can be “loud” early, but being a parent, that doesn’t bother me (and also depends which way your room faces). There is a beautiful garden in the middle of the complex with great sights, and the location is a less than 5 minute walk to Pimlico tube station and about 15 minute walk to the Victoria station, making it very convenient to get around the city. I will definitely stay here again!!

Stayed four years ago and it was a much different place. Very tired and old. Needs renovations. Best part of the previous stay was the amazing breakfast they had. Although They claim breakfast is included it’s a pastry and a coffee. Expedia booking was also terrible to deal with. I gave up trying to change my stay by a day.

Fit for purpose

Fit for purpose, staff made me feel welcome. Nice for a short stay only. Limited in what you can make in the kitchenette as there was no oven only microwave oven. Sofa, table and chairs were uncomfortable but loved the king size bed, would consider stay again if at a good rate otherwise would stay at another apartment hotel.

Great self-catering stopover in Pimlico

Conveniently located nr Pimlico tube or C10 bus from Victoria, the apartments are quiet, spacious and set in lovely gardens. Did not use pool as closed but it's a good size. Gym still open but not used.

Great Value

For the value you can't be the Dolphin House. We had a one bedroom apartment with a king bed for a third of the price we would have paid for a small room with a queen or double bed. The apartments aren't flashy, but they are very comfortable and clean. Having the extra space was nice and the small kitchenette was very convenient. We ate at the restaurant and found it to be very good and the servers very friendly. There were several grocers nearby and the tube was a short 5 minute walk. My wife and I like to walk so the 15 to 20 minute walk to Central London and the sights was no big deal and the tube was very convenient for the longer trips. Restaurants in the area are limited but found two we enjoyed, the Goya was excellent serving Spanish tapas and sea food. Also the local pub called The Gallery was great as well. Had the seafood platter which was very good. Highly recommend the Dolphin House.

Everything about the hotel was fabulous the rooms were gorgeous and beautifully clean. My only quibble was that the bar /grill wasn’t open at weekends Weather this is a result of covid / staffing problems I don’t know We came in for a few drinks before going to bed and asked reception where the bar was. He directed us ( very poor, vague directions) he let us skip off in search, only to find it doesn’t open at weekends, surely he knew it was closed… ! We were a bit miffed to be honest
