Stayed for a couple of days mid Jan.
Room was really clean and comfortable and modern.
Staff very friendly and helpful
A perfect base to explore and relax
Good breakfast in the morning
This is a room in a pub. But our room was to a high standard and almost large enough to be a suite. Absolutely in the centre of Whitby. Breakfast was good and hearty too. Could do with more power sockets in the room, though.

We found the Dolphin to be clean throughout, the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the window was excellent well cooked and presented.
Yes- very clean and staff very friendly and helpful.
Could have done with a bit more cupboard space and bathroom could have done with a shelf.
Breakfast was good and immaculate tablecloths.
A lift would have been helpful as we were on the top floor.
Great location, room had a lovely view and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Nice comfortable bed, great breakfast. Maybe could do with a lick of paint but would definitely stay here again.
Really excellent stay at the Dolphin. Fantastic location in Whitby, friendly staff throughout my trip, a very pleasant breakfast; great value for money and would very much recommend!
Lovely place to stay harbour side excellent view clean room staff very friendly breakfast multiple choice very tasty nothing was to much trouble for the staff definitely visit again thank you all for a perfect holiday.
We celebrated our wedding whilst staying here on our honeymoon it was so comfortable food was really nice good choice for breakfast and staff couldn't do enough would definitely recommend 😊
Perfect location. Traditional hotel. Breakfast included and cooked to order. Restaurant on site with good choice. Five minutes from train station. Have stayed previously and would return. Stayed in Room 6 - fab view.
