10/10 Excellent

Staff were courteous and professional, and knowledgeable about the area as well. The back garden was a great place to retreat at the end of a busy day, and the cat, Boots, was absolutely adorable!
Michael, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

A lovely property tucked away. You hear lots of birds, day and night.
Gail, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a great place. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and cleaned daily. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. I switched sides of the Big Island and probably didn’t need to. Would definitely recommend.
Curtis, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very ‘old school’ facility that’s been around 50+ years… but, is simple, clean and very nice staff!!! Close by to downtown Hilo and is in a residential area. The fresh coffee, papaya & banana bread in the morning was very ono!!! We’ll definitely stay here again with our ohana on our next weekend trip to Hilo.
GERVACIO, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We love staying at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. It is conveniently located near many places we visit, the staff is wonderful, and the rooms are simple but roomy. We also enjoy how peaceful the neighborhood is and a big bonus is getting fresh coffee, banana bread and fruit every morning. Parking is easy, the WiFi is 5G so accessing devices is super quick.

My stay was excellent…property is a little older, but cleaner than anywhere I’ve stayed before. The Staff is very friendly…would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Excellent

Great little hotel

Older hotel tucked away in a neighborhood, but we had a very comfortable stay. We hit Walmart for some groceries since the rooms have full kitchens, and we loved the banana bread and papaya in the lobby for breakfast. The office cat was a bonus too. They also have books and games to borrow. Convenient to downtown, UH-Hilo, and not far from the beaches.

Kelly was so welcoming and allowed us to check in early and provuded us with a lovely room. Delicious fresh fruit and bannana bread in the morning was a big plus. Would definitely stay again.

Alexander, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenient location to Hilo, walkable. No AC which didn’t bother us because it wasn’t hot. Mattress was not good for my chronic back problem. Shower was great. Plenty of off street parking.
