On arrival, greeted by friendly; helpful staff. Arrived a little earlier than 3pm but our room (top floor, number 3) was ready. Stairs, no lift to top floor - up two main flights of carpeted stairs. Warm, inviting decor and in good repair throughout - check out key box half way down on first landing which was a convenient way to check out.

Great little room, good size - functional furniture, kettle and great selection of tea and coffee provided; and with a view to the bay. Heating was on so room toastie warm (maybe a little too hot) so opened a window. 
Case & bag storage provided. No wardrobe but there is adequate hanging space on a rail with hangers provided.
There is an ironing board provided in a small cupboard.
Bathroom small but clean and modern. Over bath shower, not mobility impaired friendly as have to climb in but big enough for 2 people to share. Basic toiletries supplied; hair & body wash (shower) & hand soap & conditioner (sink). All towels and bath mat provided.
Disappointed to ‘run out of hot water’ mid afternoon so couldn’t have a shower - partner did though so enough for one of us; much needed after our Cleveland Way walk. Very disappointed to not have hot water - only marr on an otherwise great stay.

Breakfast good, choice of freshly cooked (vegetarian option available too), cereal, fruit and yoghurt. Waiting staff friendly and helpful. 
Plentiful tea, coffee and fruit juice.

No onside parking though and no drop off - long stay carpark approx 5 minutes away so you’ll need to carry your bags. Faffy as need to sort daily - no option on long stay carpark to pay for the weekend (not hotels fault).

Great central location, right on the bridge - easy access to pubs, restaurants, Whitby Abbey.

Great selection of beers and ciders - very happy as they sell Lilleys Mango Cider. 

Great value for money - not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Worth it for a central stay.

Overall a good stay, spoilt by hot water issue

Central location - good hotel. Reasonable price. Definitely value for money

We visited the Dolphin 17.01.24. We ordered chicken wings and garlic bread for starters. When it arrived, it was processed, flat chicken discs ( not wings!) and the garlic bread was cremated! The barman took the food away and told us it would be "sorted". New garlic bread arrived which was fine and chicken wings too, but no dips or sauces! We questioned the surly faced waitress who said "that's how it comes". The loaded chips were a very small portion. We left feeling still hungry! Very disappointing food. Unfriendly service. Not good value for money. Definitely wouldnt go back.

Very disappointing experience!

Nice pub,good food,friendly service.  Quite popular as its in a great location.  One of the few pubs that were serving food on a Thursday evening. Usual pub food.  A little disappointed that the chips appeared to be your average supermarket frozen bag.

Nice pub in great location 

We had a lovely stay here. Check-in was easy, even thought the bar was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Our room (number 5) was spotless, the bed very comfortable and pillows were great. We liked the way they did it, not coming into the rooms whilst you stay. Instead, they asked you at breakfast if anything needed replenishing (bottled water, tea or coffee bags, loo roll, etc.) and it would be left outside your room for you. Breakfast was plentiful and very good quality. We had pie and chips in the bar and it was very good. 
The pub was situated right at the centre of the town, on the estuary, great views from the hotel. Perfectly situated for shops, sightseeing, etc. 
Best of all though, the management and staff were all lovely and made us feel very much at home. Will definitely return and recommend to everyone I know.

A Great Stay

Had a great time room's clean. Staff great really friendly and happy to help. Under new management and they are really great people and dog friendly. Can't wait to go back. Would recommend to anyone great place to stay and central for everything whitby has to offer.

Great hotel

AWESOME ! This was our first visit to Whitby from Bournemouth. We cannot fault The Dolphin Hotel in anyway whatsoever. From start to finish our stay was faultless. The room was amazing with fantastic views. Special thanks to Gareth who welcomed us and Jimmy who went out of his way to deliver an early breakfast. Would highly recommend a stay here 😊

Fantastic !

Excellent clean room with overlooking the harbour. Staff friendly and helpful and a decent sized breakfast. 

Ideally situated for everything in the town in this small area. 

Although part of a pub there was no excessive noise from this. Highly recommended

Lovely room and location

Went in here for a bite to eat ordered the sausage and mash and pie and mash from the bar pie was ok not the worst I ever had but the mash on both plates was like a dollop of very poorly made smash thick stodgy and springy like play doh crap the sausages were black heavens knows what happened to them my guess is put in the chip fryer tbh with the gravy had taster ready meals made I read u strive on serving value for money food that’s a complete joke for what I paid take a long hard look at what u do cuz we were first timers who won’t be back in a hurry it’s a shame because it’s a lovely place that’s a warning to anyone don’t be fooled by the signs outside 😡

Never Again!

The Dolphin is in a superb location overlooking the river, swing bridge and harbour at Whitby. Sitting and eating breakfast in the bay window with such a view is outstanding. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room (number 3) was excellent, plenty of space, clean and with a view of the river towards the sea. Only downside if arriving by car is lack of parking and a place to unload/load luggage. 

Great hotel in a great location.

Visited this pub for an evening meal and tried to substitute chips for mashed potato….. don’t ask as my response was “ can’t do this as it will mess up my stock “ I was in shock at this ridiculous reply - we  without eating !!
