돌핀 베이 호텔

Love this place. Not for everyone as it is basically an older apartment building with building features from about the 60’s. But it’s quite clean, quiet (except for the coqui frogs at night and roosters in the morning - but that’s part of the charm) and the staff is super. Right near downtown Hilo and includes breakfast of papayas, bananas, banana bread and coffee/tea. Most suited for older couples, probably not so much for families with younger kids.

Definitely a throw back type of accommodation in style, but super clean. Small kitchen but fully equipped with everything you need. Bed was comfortable with good linens and pillows. “Staff” was very pleasant and friendly. No air con, but a good fan and large windows that opened. Would stay again.

Wonderful, close to downtown, old but absolutely top shape

Homey, simple place. Comfortable. Coqui frogs were interestingly loud but tolerable With the fans on and the earplugs the hotel provided Great banana bread and fresh tropical fruit in the lobby. Great shower!

the linens were high quality cotton that had been ironed!

Highly recommend this hotel. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are comfortable and this truly is a home away from home. Can’t wait to go back!

What a beautiful setting and great access to downtown Hilo! Beautiful landscaping, clean room & grounds. They even change the shower curtain after 3rd night! What other hotel does this? Breakfast was fresh island fruits and banana bread& coffee/tea. Ok for us to eat light in the morning. Great stay!

Stayed in "Basic Studio, 1 Queen Bed, Kitchen" - was quiet, clean and everything I had expected. There was no AC in the room, which was Ok by me, since I had known it before booking and there was a fan in the room. Like other reviewers mention, coffee, banana cakes and fruits in the morning were excellent. But what I had enjoyed the most was the hotel cat - clean and the most friendly one I have ever seen!! He would just came into my room and spent hours there - even slept two nights on my bed. I would go back just for the cat :)

Loved this hotel - walking distance to town, friendly & interesting manager/owner with a passion for botany, beautiful riverside garden and nice selection of fruit, coffee and banana bread. Plus we were upgraded to to s very nice room.

John was very helpful and staff very friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable.
