The Dolphin was a wonderful place to stay in Whitby. We had a wonderful time, and the staff could not have been more accommodating! It was the perfect location and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, the Abbey and beach. I loved the pub and outside front patio. Everyone was friendly.

Property is very central for Whitby. Pay and display car park, is very close. Go to Tourist Information, to obtain a car parking permit which is slightly cheaper than feeding the meter every day.

Not Dog Friendly

We had booked this as part of our 7 day trip in the UK with our dog. It was listed as pet friendly under services. After check in I received a phone call from the woman manager stating that there was a problem as dogs are not allowed in the rooms. I ensured them that on Expedia it indicates "dog friendly" and verified this. She said I never indicated I was bringing a dog however in special requests I wrote "Hi we will be bringing our dog" They were not pleased and said they would need to figure something out but since I had already paid they would not kick us out but maybe charge us a cleaning fee When we returned the woman and the grumpy husband were discussing this. He seemed quite angry and never once reassured us other then to say you will never find a hotel in the UK that will allow dogs.The woman seemed at least hospitable to some degree. I even mentioned I was willing to leave if she refunded my money. We were quite disappointed with their reaction to the situation and most definitely with the man's who seemed miserable. We decided to leave as soon as possible in the morning and even avoided breakfast just to leave. As for the rooms the smell was a little off especially in the wardrobe which had a terrible smell to it so we refused to hang our clothes. The location is central but remember it is a pub and a popular pub so we had some annoying young drunk kids and a pile of vomit at the entrance to avoid on the way back in. Not impressed by the way it was handled.

Lovely Place to Stay

The hotel was in a great part of Edinburgh making it easy to walk places. We loved how the building fit in with old Edinburgh. The breakfast was delicious. Being able to store our luggage between checkout and when we caught the train gave us an extra half day in town. We definitely recommend to anyone planning a stay in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland.

The most welcoming place we’ve ever stayed at. From the moment we walked through the door to leaving we were made welcome. The room was beautiful, it was clean and warm and the views were amazing. Owen behind the bar was the loveliest person. He gave us lots of information where to go for the next day. Thank you Owen you really did make our stay fab. A place we will definitely be visiting again.
