Great location. Room was very nice size and up to date. Only negative is the parking is at the nearest public parking lot - if you can get a spot. But overall a good night at a great location.

Great location,spacious room with super views,helpful staff and best hotel breakfast my husband has had. Only fault- didn't like having no milk or bottled water in the room. However we would certainly visit the Dolphin again.

10/10 Excellent

The most welcoming place we’ve ever stayed at. From the moment we walked through the door to leaving we were made welcome. The room was beautiful, it was clean and warm and the views were amazing. Owen behind the bar was the loveliest person. He gave us lots of information where to go for the next day. Thank you Owen you really did make our stay fab. A place we will definitely be visiting again.

Had a lovely 2 nights at the dolphin hotel with a lovely view of the water. The staff was amazing & locked our key in the room by accident and couldn't find spare key but they called a locksmith who got us back in. The hotel is lovely and food is amazing. Will definitely stay here again. Wish we had longer.

Fantastic location

First the good. Great location (probably the best in Whitby.) Friendly staff, clean large bedroom, good breakfast, comfy bed with nice bedding. Great Quirky old building. Unfortunately, the bad.. when we arrived the whole building had the overwhelming smell of cooking oil. Even into the bedroom. I am pleased to state that the aroma eventually dispersed by morning. I believe that the management should address this issue urgently. Otherwise everything very good.

Great wee hotel, but parking can be tricky

It's a really nice small hotel, the staff were really friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, the room was really pleasant and the location is great. The only downsides were a bed that was too soft (for me) and the difficulty in finding a parking space nearby.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Dolphin! This was a clean, cozy, friendly family run inn over a cute pub. It was so quiet in our room, which had a harbor view. Our stay was just lovely and romantic . The owners and staff were so warm and friendly, and the included breakfast was great . Overall just a warm and welcoming place!
