Very nice place - newly renovated and really nice setup.
The setup makes it so the upstairs are quite easy to hear walking around, but guests where nice and considerate.
I'd definitely stay again !

Mina
Great experience! The room was really tidy and spacious. I liked the balcony as well. Would stay here again. I booked the room with two queen beds. Was modern as well.
Matt
Clean room, comfortable bed, good shower, friendly host. This hotel is in a quiet area, but the compressor in one of the external aircon units at the rear of the block was very noisy when one of the other rooms (not mine) ran their aircon unit. There was no serrated knife in the kitchen, which made cutting bread difficult - I'd have thought that was an essential in any kitchen. I would probably stay here again next time I am in Paihia.
Irene

Gayla
The room smelled so fresh and clean; the kitchen was fully functional, you could cook a meal easily.
Marthapearl
Room was in great condition.staff was very well mannered.but for 4 adults there was no milk in room...also for a late checkin which was at 3pm to an early checkout at 9am was pretty costly considering I checked in late .also fridge was leaking and you could hear the people next door from the lounge with the tv on.it was okay
Donald
An ideal place to stay. Our only contact with staff was during check-in and it was quick and friendly. Well-stocked grocery store just down the street.
Richard
yes
Lloyd
The staff I meet (Robbie and Leo) were very kind and helpful. They went beyond their work duties in waiting for me and my wife and picking us when we arrived. They took us to the International Terminal. Overall it was a nice experience in visiting Auckland.
Thierry
Our room was in the older part of the property. This area appears ready for an upgrade.
Michael
Parking was a little difficult to reverse out of the car park because of the angle parking and not much room to move

we booked a family room and this was not available on arrival . no correspondence with expedia or the hotel ,just a surprise on arrival. they gave us two rooms instead which was ok. staff were very nice to deal with (when they were there) we had ants in our kitchen every morning and had to throw away all our food on the counter .this motel really needs updating but it seems a lot of motels are in this state in NZ right now.
paul
We came up for the Jazz Festival, had a studio unit in New block. Good value for money. Handy to everything.
Debby
First time giving poor review. I emailed - checking in after 6pm. Received email from them saying Check-in closed at 7:30pm. I said I would arrive between 6-7 pm from Auckland. Arrived about 7:05 pm in the dark, and could not find the reception. I called, and someone told me where to find the reception, which was closed... I still could not find it, so I called again, and he said he would come out and show me where it was... The reception light had burnt out, so part of the problem. When I finally met him at the reception office, and asked about the 7:30pm check-in, he replied, but I could not understand him clearly... \"sometime they leave earlier\" I got the key, and my room was on the second floor, and I had to walk up 14 concrete steps to get there. I am a senior, and stairs are a bit tricky for me... The place was lovely and clean. Thank you! But.... the mattress on the bed was so soft, when I sat on the mattress, it sank down to the mattress frame; it was harder to go to sleep.
Also, the shower was about 20 cm off the floor! And no step to get into it... Also, there were 3 holes in the grouting by the toilet with orange plastic around them and 2 similiar holes in the shower- why? One hole hollow - why? A small bag celery was left in fridge. On kitchen wall-Motel policy-wash your dishes and put away or maybe incur a $50 fee. Was not on website. The dark blue dishcloth and teatowel had stains on them. Who last washed the dishes? Vacancy sign half lit on Saturday

Dolphin motel - all good
Newish motel. Everything about is great.
Jon
It took 10 minutes for someone to come to the admin area,so we could book in.
The shower floods all over the tiled floor. The grout on the shower tiles is moldy.
The shower ran out of hot water.
We couldn’t get the T V onto a channel. My partner thought he had broken his toe on the large chair which was slightly sticking out into the bathroom doorway. Overall probably the worst motel room we have stayed in. It certainly wasn’t the motel featured in the photos to advertise this motel.

Wet in Paihia
Motel was excellent in the new wing. Clean, quiet & walkable even though it rained for 5 days straight. Rooms really do need a mat at the front door so you do not walk straight in on the carpet with wet shoes
Colin
Everything
Verified traveler
We were greeted by a polite staff member who efficiently checked us in. The room was better than expected and felt like it had been recently renovated which was good to see. Everything you for need for an overnight stay and walkable to all local amenities and the beach-front. Ample free parking and great being able to park our car directly outside of the room.
Ross
Very nice
Was quiet clean roomy and comfortable.
Naomi
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.

Eirene
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

Rosemary
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.
Katy
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.
Clare
Tidy, walkable to town centre, friendly staff
Grace
Ok fo a few days
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.
Joanne
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
Suzanne
Staff friendly let me check in early
Paul
Definitely not a 4 star motel but clean and comfortable,could do with air conditioning,room was quite hot and was hard to sleep
Alan
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.
Juneea
Room was nice and clean. The pillows were super comfy, beds were too. Will stay again.

The Dolphin Motel was very clean, handy to Paihia and very relaxing, the sofa/couch in the room was very useful for sitting and relaxing.

Convenient to town and beach as well as affordable. Minor but there was a spiderweb up in the bathroom that may have been there for about a week. It's not a biggie but something that could be done about it
Ross
Great premises. Comfortable and easy access to shops.
Nigel
1st class accommodation, nothing spectacular but clean, well maintained and comfortable.
Just a 5 minute walk from the seafront and it’s many bars/restaurants/attractions/tours.

Management friendly and accommodating. Room very clean and comfortable. Location ideal for walking around the hub of Paihia. Only stayed overnight to go on a day tour. What I was able to see and do in a very short time frame was very impressed. Another “to come back and stay” on my list.

We were only there for a night but it was perfect in that it was so close to everything. The unit was very clean and tidy. A great comfortable night.

Kind of got what we paid for but it was very dated and although it has a kitchen it was not well equipped. No sharp knives. The microwave had to be lifted off its stand to be plugged in, Which was no easy feat. The staff were friendly and it was certainly large and clean enough.

This is a classic motel in a small town. We were in the older side of the establishment, the room as quite dated as were the appliances. The towels were very small and were quite old (white towels but were grey and fraying). The space was good as it fit the purpose we needed (a bed and a shower) however it wouldn't be somewhere we'd book if we were spending lots of time in the room. The staff were very lovely and helpful.
