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.

Lovely room, double view across the harbour and across the town… beautiful!
Very comfortable bed , the bathroom was clean but a little worn
Staff were really friendly and helpful..
The breakfast was delicious served with a view across the harbour
Me & my husband robin went here for our 25th wedding anniversary all the staff were very helpful & polite nothings a bother.
Would gladly stay again thank you to all the staff we had a fantastic few days
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!
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.
Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast every morning. The Dolphin is the kind of place that makes you feel right at home, and we loved staying here. Also, it's very close to everything so the location is absolutely perfect, too. Very cozy place!
Comfortable and within walking distance of anything we wanted to do. Excellent restaurants within walking distance. Parking was confusing but once we figured it out, we managed.
We went there to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary. The room we had looked over whitby harbour. We slept well and the breakfast was lovely. All in all a good stay.
we really enjoyed our stay, all staff friendly and helpful, the hotel was very clean, food excellent and the location perfect for walking round Whitby.
Just returned from a great stay. Room and facilities were very good and breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff. Highly recommended, will definitely return.
