“Let's be upfront, the location is a true asset, mere steps from the pier and beach, despite being on a side street. However, be warned: rooms appear tired, and the refurbishment seems to be an ongoing effort. I would say book with realistic expectations, knowing its prime location comes with compromises.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Dolphin Hotel is conveniently located just a minute's walk from the seafront, and about ten minutes from the high street, making it easy to enjoy the local attractions. Many guests find the rooms spacious, bright, and nicely decorated, often mentioning the comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms including both bath and shower with toiletries, though some have noted the furnishings are a little basic. On-site parking adds to the convenience, and the garden is a lovely addition for guests to enjoy. Plus, the hotel is just a stone's throw from the beach attractions, offering excellent value.
