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. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maura 13 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recommend a stay here The Dolphin Hotel is lovely, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very clean, staff very helpful and friendly. ##### Maura Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sue 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Such a lovley place to stay had a great time with great people ##### sue Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### LINDSAY 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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.
