The property is in a good location and suited our needs as we were meeting friends in the township so nice and handy.
Our room was nice and clean. The only thing was that we were on a bottom floor and it was very noisy from the upstairs guests to the point where we could hear them going to the toilet. Little offputting.
The outside air con unit for the room above us wasVERY noisy and vibrated thru our unit when it was used by those above us.
Otherwise our unit was clean and the bed wasVERY comfortable indeed.
We suggest having the air con unit checked to see if the vibration can be eliminated
It was a comfortable room but nowhere to sit outside. Only plastic chairs in front of each unit looking at the car park. Nice kitchen but could have had a few more things to prepare food.
Had a nice stay at the Dolphin Motel while in Paihia. Rooms were spacious and clean, the property was tidy. Staff were very helpful. Just a short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach/ marina.
The person at the desk was very pleasant. The room was older but clean. Only issues were with the shower, almost impossible to adjust the water temperature due to placement of temp controls by the door. The door shojld be reversed! Wasted a lot of water trying to adjust water trmp before climbing in. The utensils were sparse, no knife to cut bread etc so had to go ask, no spatula for flipping eggs etc. Would hesitate before staying again.
The staff at the motel were so helpful, we were running late and the reception was kept open for us which we really appreciated. The room was clean and the facilities ideal for the short stay we had there. The motel is within walking distance to all the amenities in the small town
Excellent facilities, clean, close to town center. One fault: room lighting was starkly bright, with only 1 ceiling and 1 wall light without dimmers & no bedside lights. Wall light pointed directly into TV.
