The Dolphins Hotel Bournemouth

A small hotel, privately owned and managed by a very helpful and obliging couple, Miles and Lena, who have been there 20 years. The location is good being just up the hill from the Square and all the eateries situated there and just a few minutes walk from the BIC, the Pleasure Gardens, Pier and the beach. My room was clean and with a comfortable bed but basic (only soap supplied- no other toiletries) but it suited me fine. There are other options besides the Full English if a lighter breakfast is requested, served in the hotel's basement.
Instead of a bedside table there was a bedside fridge which worked and was actually useful in my ground floor room. The shower was straight forward to work and it worked well but the flow could have been greater but it was perfectly adequate and of reasonable size and we are encouraged to save water when possible! There was no hair dryer, but probably available on request, nor a shaver point. I was very glad that cushions had NOT been placed on the bed pillows as is common in hotel rooms these days and which I think is unhygienic as I expect they get dumped on the floor. I had a very enjoyable stay and will definitely return to The Dolphins when I next go to Bournemouth. In addition there is limited on site car parking with an EV charging point.

Basic but just what was needed in an ideal location.

Our room was on the ground floor of the hotel and had everything we needed.  The ONLY thing missing was a hand towel but Miles explained the challenges they'd experienced with these "walking" so I fully get why they no longer provide.  We were only there for 2 nights so using our own bath towels really wasn't a problem.  

The room was clean and the beds comfortable.  A small fridge ensured our bottles of fizz stayed nicely chilled. 

Breakfast was really lovely and Miles and Lena will provide whatever you want with reasonable notice.  Full English on day one and I went for poached eggs with mushrooms and tomatoes on our second day.  Fresh coffee, plenty of toast and a choice of jams/marmalades.  

We were able to park on the forecourt which was an added bonus but we appreciated that it may not have been available.  They have space for three cars.

Breakfast was wonderful so pay the extra - you won't be disappointed!

Wow can't believe what they charge for a room in Bournemouth  very expensive they charge up to £300 a night for a single in some hotels absolutely no chance paying that  thought I would give the Dolphin a go see what they charge met by the proprietor first impression fair not greedy she said she had no singles but could do a double room for single occupancy fair enough what she quoted me for the stay was fantastic  just can't get over hotels charging £300 a night for single occupancy the same room in the winter £35 a night 😆😆

Clean double room for single occupancy 

The stay at Dolphins hotel was very pleasurable, we were made to feel very welcome. Location near to shops, very comfortable beds, clean room and large shower. Parking on site, two keys issued for each room in case our group split up for the night. I stayed in the ground floor room with the bay window looking out to street which was extremely quiet. We were welcomed into our rooms early so we could spend the day in Bournemouth. I would definitely recommend.

Great location, friendly and very helpful

The hotel was very reasonable. The location was perfect 5 minutes from the beach. There was parking. The proprietors were super. It was spotless. Breakfast was delicious. You really couldn’t ask for more.
The complimentary tea bags and soap were good quality. The bathroom was lovely. Little touches that add to your stay.

Perfect little hotel in a very convenient location

Lovely, friendly, clean hotel perfect location near Bournemouth centre and Beach front. Very family and dog friendly. 
Lovely couple who own the business, they couldn’t be more accommodating. Beautiful cooked full English breakfast in the morning. 
Room was perfect for our family, our two boys throughly enjoyed sleeping in bunk beds again. Lovely en suite shower room too.

Lovely, family/dog friendly hotel very close to centre and beachfront

We needed somewhere in Bournemouth as we were attending a concert and found dolphins, and what a find, Miles and Lena are just lovely,, very friendly and Miles does a yummy breakfast especially his poached eggs,, room and everything was just the job, and very central to everything, the town, and the waterfront THANK YOU

What a gem

Quiet and perfect location - under 10 mins walk to towncentre, clean room, comfy bed. Host Lena and Miles were exceptional! Went out of their way to even warm our food on our first day. Miles drove to the station to deliver my son's bible which he left behind in the hotel. We will be back again.

Dolphin Hotel, Bournemouth

We were meeting friends in Bournemouth - very central position - good bathroom - lovely shower and comfortable bed . Great breakfast and lovely couple who run it - very helpful indeed especially with parking - right outside the hotel .

Very nice overnight stay

Stayed three nights, comfortable clean room with en-suite shower room. Run by a very welcoming couple that do a great breakfast. Very close to town and restaurants and around a ten minute walk to the pier and beach.
