Reviews

Leon's 10/10

Pros: The owner was very friendly and offered useful information about the area. The suite had everything a 2-kid family needed for 3 nights. The location was fantastic, a few minutes drive away from most of the places you want to go.

Good location for visiting the west coast of Vancouver Island. Not modern but clean and cozy.

Pros: The room was very clean and comfortable, it is just a little date. For a couple of nights it was just what we needed.

Great location to access both Tofino and beaches and rainforest walks!

Pros: Although quite dated our accommodation was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Great location as only 2min drive into Tofino itself and also close to beaches and rainforest walks.

Beautiful experience! Highly recommended!

Pros: Staff was friendly. Great location, clean room and washroom, they even provided towels, an electric kettle, coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave. No, it’s not a luxury hotel and it’s perfect if you’re going to enjoy nature and beaches. Mattresses were super comfortable. Walls are a bit thin and noise so bring earplugs, it’s close to the road so you can hear the traffic. I will definitely go back there again!

Cons: It can be a bit noisy due to being close to the road

Great place

Pros: Close to good restaurants and grocery store and easy access to downtown Tofino. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Friendly hosts.

Cons: Could use a small nightlight for the bathroom. Bedroom and bathroom doors were tight when closed and made a lot of noise when opening in the night.

Highly recommend for low cost, safe stay in Tofino

Pros: Felt very safe and cosy, close to beaches and short drive/cycle to Tofino centre - and great value for money.

Cons: Not much. Quite basic, but to be expected given the nature of the property.

In an area where prices are through the roof, the Dolphin is your reasonable and practical choice.

Pros: The place was clean and well organised. It was equipped with everything we needed, just right. A lot of motels nowadays miss common sense items like bedside lamps, but the Dolphin had it all: the lamps even had built in charging ports. Smart! The kitchen was beautifully stocked with everything needed for basic cooking. The beds were clean with adequate blankets and extra pillows. The host family were very friendly and warm. I feel like they’ve been there for a long time. There is a grocery store a few minutes away on foot. We recommend the Dolphin!!

Cons: It’s a highway side motel. Don’t expect a great view. However it’s surprisingly quiet considering. Also it’s old. It’s not modern and sleek. Expect that and you won’t be disappointed.

Riley 10/10

Surprisingly cosy and comfortable

Pros: They upgraded me at no extra cost due to another client extending their stay in a room i had booked. Was a very kind gesture. The bed was one of the comfiest that I have ever slept in! Really good bang for your buck.

Cons: The only criticism was the shower. Small shower head and the water pressure was very poor.
