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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Room certainly not superior. Attic room with one window showing a harbour view. Sub standard wardrobe and no drawers for clothes. Lived out of a suitcase. All the other rooms appeared superior in many aspects. Certainly wasn't worth nearly £200 per night. I noticed that they were advertising just over £100 per night prior to us arriving. The hotel consisted of dix rooms and we were certainly at the bottom.

Bit tired. Dead centre of town on the water. I think it was expensive overall compared to other places we stayed over a month long period.

Amazing stay..staff lovely and good breakfast.. the location was central to everywhere and views were fantastic. The pub gets very busy showing its popularity. The room was great very spacious with everything one needs. The bed was a little weird and felt uneven but didn't stop us sleeping after busy days exploring the area. If theres any criticism its having no plugs near the bed to plug phones or fan in but i would definitely stay here if visiting the area again..thank you to the staff for being so friendly
