Dolphin Motel Reviews

The motel is reasonably priced, close to the main street and has all the amenities for a short stay.

Stayed 2 nights for our Paihia trip. Pretty standard, no surprises but also no complaints.

Friendly, helpful and responsive staff. Happy to revisit.

very old, smelly, carpet really disgusting. Kitchen stuff very worn out. One mug had lipstick On. pool horrible. wouldnt stay ever again.

Love convenience location but when you booked in app you will got old Building. Like a small kitchen in the room. Tiny Dishwasher was surprised me. Smart tv box is excellent for my Entertainment. Only problem was hot water temperature when showering. It's hard to control stable warm. Too hot and too cold. The towels supposed to change after second day stay that notice in the bathroom but it changed on fourth day of six days.

Clean and tidy, the reception was very kind and helpful with information about the area. Location is good, walking distance to shops and the beach. We stayed for 3 nights in this motel.

I’ve never seen such a well-equipped motel room. It had everything!! The staff was very friendly and helpful

Lovely location close to everything, check in and out was really easy and the amenities are great with a mini kitchen built into the room. I would recommend staying in the new block as everything is newer and cleaner.

The location of the hotel is good, not far from the pier. There are not many guests and parking is very convenient. There are places to eat not too far away. I checked in early in the morning and was given a room directly. The price-performance ratio is good.

Nice and very clean stay. We were in the renovated building. The location is good.

The most cost-effective stay in New Zealand! ! ! Two 1.5-meter large beds, very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can cook your own food. Perfect. The disadvantage is that the sheets are clean, but the bedding is dirty. Their sheets only help to separate you from the bedding, but they don't fit in. If you don’t call house keeping, there will be no house keeping. If you need house keeping during your stay, remember to tell the front desk every morning ~

There is nothing to comment on the service infrastructure, it is standard for New Zealand Motel. Key complaints: The room was full of little crickets🦗 and I couldn’t finish it. The hotel was so tight that I couldn’t stay anywhere else. It made me sick for two nights! ! ! I have stayed in many hotels in Paihia, edgewater, heritage, including the swiss lodge next door, and I have never encountered this situation.
