Very ‘old school’ facility that’s been around 50+ years… but, is simple, clean and very nice staff!!! Close by to downtown Hilo and is in a residential area. The fresh coffee, papaya & banana bread in the morning was very ono!!! We’ll definitely stay here again with our ohana on our next weekend trip to Hilo.

We spent two nights at the Dolphin bay hotel and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the proximity with the town center and the warm welcome upon arrival. The rooms are tidy and the small kitchen very useful.

The grounds were lovely, with an exquisite garden. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was close to the center of town and I would definitely recommend the hotel.

We love staying at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. It is conveniently located near many places we visit, the staff is wonderful, and the rooms are simple but roomy. We also enjoy how peaceful the neighborhood is and a big bonus is getting fresh coffee, banana bread and fruit every morning. Parking is easy, the WiFi is 5G so accessing devices is super quick.

Nice, retro hotel

10.0

Driving through the neighborhood to the hotel I was thinking we made a bad call, but once we walked in the room and I checked for cleanliness (the bud bug check, always), I think it's a nice, albeit retro, place. The office staff was very friendly and accomodating. There was fresh coffee early every morning, with delicious banana bread and tropical fruit. The shower was wonderful and the room felt very clean. I'd recommend!
