Dolphin Hotel Review

If you want tradition, this is your best choice. This bow-windowed Georgian coaching house in the center of the city was Jane Austen's choice, and Thackeray's, too. Even Queen Victoria visited via her horse-drawn carriage. The rooms vary widely in size but are generally spacious and well equipped. You can choose from contemporary rooms, mainly in the 1890s section of the building, or more traditional accommodations found in the 1750s section. Bedrooms are tastefully and comfortably furnished. Three rooms are large enough for families.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
