Classic old time Hawaiian hotel close to downtown
Sitting at the picnic table with my morning coffee, watching the sunrise over the lush hotel garden! Yesterday, walked 10 minutes to downtown, had breakfast at Booch Bar, then 3 more blocks to farmers market. Near market is the island public transportation stop (Hele on). Perfect location. Clean and quiet (except for all the birds and nighttime frogs!) Kitchen in room is a wonderful bonus.

I like the room that provided a queen bed and two twin beds, also with full kitchen, which were very convenient. The hotel is old styled, no AC but fans, no room card but using the key, and small rooms. The worst was no sound proof at all especially we had a neighbor who was working as customer service for mainland US and started taking calls constantly at 2am every day.

Fantastic property! Check-in great. Friendly, professional staff. Hotel has more amenities in the room than many "fancier" (and more expensive ) hotels we've stayed at. HIGHLY recommend. We'll come back. Thank you!

I appreciated this cosy comfortable apartment. It has a complete functional kitchen, sitting options, and a lanai with a garden view. Morning coffee and fresh banana bread was a treat. It's a short walk into town.

Dolphin Bay was a Fantastic Treat
The rains definitely started to fall two days into our 3 day visit to Hilo and we desired to move from our relatively off-grid Hipcamp (which we loved!) into an actual hotel room with amenities. Dolphin Bay has been a bucket list hotel for me and sure enough, I checked Hotels.com to see if they had a room on the fly and they did! and one with a kitchen...PERFECT! Chrissy was so friendly and welcomed us and told us about things to see locally. The kitchen was immaculate and well set up. We were able to cook up a delightful gourmet dinner, wash and dry our laundry, I took a nice long bath annnnd I had Hallmark Christmas movies on almost the entire time...The rains just fell and fell outside the entire night and through the next day and it was soooo relaxing to just have the windows open listening to the rains and even thunder. Odie (I think his name is ) the kitty came in to visit us when my hubby opened the door. We love kitties and he is just a precious one; we welcomed him right in and he hung out with us the day of our checkout. The coffee and Banana Bread in the lobby was such an Amazing treat. We already had a reservation for another hotel on the waterfront just a few miles away so we checked with Katie in the lobby and she gave us the go ahead for a very relaxing Late checkout which worked perfectly to meet our reservation at the other hotel. She found out Kauai was on our itinerary and gave my husband some great info on places to visit. We love Dolphin Bay!

The accommodation was on ground level. Parking was very easy and close to the room door. Our family room unit was very clean and spacious with everything we needed. We even had a nice sitting area out front with all kinds of shade it was very beautiful and peaceful. The grounds were very well kept up. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Hilo. Another good thing about it is you are walking distance from the downtown area!

Not a fancy place, but the staff are amazing - they know the island, and can always guide you to interesting places/events. 12 out of 10 for the friendly, knowledgeable staff

Cozy for the right price
Very nice for the price. You wont have AC, but you will have fans around the place so do keep that in mind if you are visiting with major heat weather. The staff is super friendly and have banana bread on the daily for their guests. They also provide local bananas and papayas. A nice kitchenette so you can definitely cook your own foods and a full fridge. The living room have two futons for anyone to sleep on and the master bedroom has one large queen bed in addition to another futon! One thing I didn't like too much was the ramp onto the parking lot in the back. It would scrape the bottom of your rental if its fairly low. Would definitely stay here again.
