It's a family run hotel, well located and comfortable. The owner and all the staff were really friendly. The owner met us at the pier and drove us back to the hotel. The breakfast room is lovely and spacious, the breakfast itself is very good. The views from the bedroom are beautiful. We booked a double room but were actually looking for a twin room. The owner was very kind to give us a family room with a double and a single bed.

Excellent stay with Dolphin, Pat and the rest of the staff are excellent hosts. Free lift to and from the ferry, luggage handled for us, good breakfast and Pat even dropped us off at the pub one evening. Service really goes above and beyond here. The room was also very comfortable, exactly as described

Personally I think for the room itself it was overpriced compared to many places I have stayed. No room photos on their profile so I took a chance.

Staff were so nice and helpful. Location was good. Inisbofin is such a great place to visit. Ferry close by, lift to and from Ferry available upon request. Bike hire close by. Pub, restaurant close by. Tea, coffee biscuits in room. No shampoo or conditioner but I had my own so it was ok. Towels supplied. TV, local stations, I don't think there is Netflix for a rainy night as I couldn't find it on TV. Didn't try breakfast but they do have times at reception.

the room was lovely and clean but there was a slight smell like damp. But there was no sign of dampness ; the bed was perfect; sheets , towels etc clean and fresh.

breakfast was perfect; staff were very friendly and helpful. went out of their way to give us food after we missed dinner and kitchen was closed. Owner was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of the area . would recommend The Dolphin

there is nothing to dislike in the Dolphin Hotel

Pat collected us from the ferry as arranged and brought us to the hotel, telling us about the places to eat and to visit along the way. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, freshly cooked by Pat and served by the wonderful Annika. The bed was so comfortable, it made for perfect sleep. The bar is open in the evening, for a leisurely drink. The Beach Bar, Murray's Bar served food in the evening and the Galley restaurant and Inishwallah (the bus) serve delicious food during the day. Hubby & I will gladly return to enjoy the charm of Inishbofin

I would've loved to experience dinner when it had been served at one time.

Location, everything was fresh & clean and the rooms were generous in size with comfortable beds. They served a fabulous breakfast, Plus it has a proper bar serving draft beer.

The Dolphin was great. Pat made us feel really welcome, he convinced us to go for a swim in the East Beach which was a highlight of the trip. Great breakfast and picked up / dropped off our bags. Will be back again for their half marathon.

I love this place. Coming back every year we always experience magical time. Pat is absolutely great, friendly and helpful. The rooms are very welcoming and clean, the view is amazing, and the staff is very nice and professional. I appreciate, that they use natural detergent and cosmetics for guests showing care for the environment. Ps. Thanks to the comfy beds and sounds of the island we had the best quality sleep:D

Everything was perfection.

We had an amazing stay at the Dolphin Hotel. The room was impeccably clean & provided beautiful views. Both Pat & Anneka were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay unforgettable. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast & service provided by Anneka. The owner Pat went above & beyond to ensure our stay was perfection. The hotel's location is also perfect, within easy walking distance of many attractions. I highly recommend the Dolphin Hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Dolphin Hotel is a great spot to stay on Inisbofin. We had a lovely time here and would highly recommend. It's a short walk from the pier and a shuttle bus is available too. The rooms are very spacious, beds were comfortable, and breakfast was nice. Pat is such a welcoming host!
