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.

Nice, retro hotel
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!

Convenient location to Hilo, walkable. No AC which didnโt bother us because it wasnโt hot. Mattress was not good for my chronic back problem. Shower was great. Plenty of off street parking.

Great little hotel
Older hotel tucked away in a neighborhood, but we had a very comfortable stay. We hit Walmart for some groceries since the rooms have full kitchens, and we loved the banana bread and papaya in the lobby for breakfast. The office cat was a bonus too. They also have books and games to borrow. Convenient to downtown, UH-Hilo, and not far from the beaches.

Okay stay
Staff was friendly. Room layout could have been better and kitchen was pretty small for hosting 5 or 6 people. Needs some upgrades. One complaint was bed linens. They did not smell clean as if they had not been changed from previous guests.

Dolphin Bay Hotel is a sweet, laid-back, vintage hotel. It has loads of character and beautiful gardens. I love staying at the Dolphin Bay Hotel because it is unique and well-maintained and always clean. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, and they offer fresh coffee, homemade banana bread and sweet, ripe papayas in the morning.

Very nice property just outside the Hilo downtown. Lots of walkable restaurants, bars and shops, and very friendly staff willing to help you out with just about anything you need during your stay.

Neighborhood is a little questionable. Some possible homelessness. Staff are kind and attentive. The building has maintained a sense of culture. Coffee banana bread and a whole papaya for breakfast was appreciated. Appliances are old but functional. Noise carries but it's ok because it's part of the experience.

Staff are welcoming and helpful. We arrived at 8 pm and I was struggling with the key lockbox on our room since we were arriving after hours. Thankfully, a staff woman was still present at the front desk and helped us get into our room. She was so nice it was a relief after 13 hours of traveling from Boston. Beautiful grounds and garden. Rooms are clean and near but old school - 70โs vibe, quaint. The coqui frogs at night can be loud but we have peepers in Maine in the spring and summer so weโre used to the noise. Felt like home in the summer. The only downside is the lack of soundproofing between rooms. You can hear the person in the next room coughing so just be aware they can hear you too. Neighborhood is mixed - some rough looking places but just use street smarts due to Hiloโs prevalent homeless population. Overall would recommend mainly due to the welcoming staff and motel cats. :)
