HOTEL DOLPHIN GRAND

HOTEL DOLPHIN GRAND

10/10 Excellent
"Modern and clean and although 5 minutes away from the river we didn’t feel as if we missed out as we were up and on the river for sunrise and on the Banks amongst all the celebrations in the evening. Breakfast and food was good and the staff very helpful. Definitely a good spot to step away from the hustle and bustle and recover from long days."
