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.

The venue is ideally situated for your visit to Whitby. The hotel is family run, the staff are both friendly and helpful, and despite the rooms being above a busy bar you did not get disturbed. Therefore, I would thoroughly recommend staying there and will definitely re-book when visiting Whitby again.

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!

Perfect location in Whitby
The Dolphin is perfectly situated, right in the heart of Whitby. We had room 6 on the top floor with a great view over the harbour, good bathroom, comfortable bed and decent furnishings. Breakfast was decent with tea and coffee facilities in the room.

Worth a look. Be prepared to walk with luggage from public car parks. Room accessibility may be an issue for some because there is no lift.
