Really enjoyed our stay here. Abby was incredibly helpful when we checked in and with any questions we had. She even helped us get some laundry done and some suggestions for the town. Rooms and common spaces were well appointed with cute decorating. You can hear every word and step if other guests aren’t considerate after hours in the main stairs. Overall a very pleasant stay!

Absolute gem of a hostel, came on a cycling trip and it was the best place we stayed in. Way better than most hotels. Decorated in a fun quirky style with great kitchen facilities, my room shared a bathroom with one other room and this worked well. Good bike storage shed things in the garden. The owner was so kind and welcoming she even drove us to our dinner reservation because we were exhausted from a long ride and running late. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend and like to go back in future

One of the best hostels we've stayed at. Spacious private room, with above average shower, beautifully clean, really friendly helpful staff and interesting quirky decor. Handy for town centre, station and beach. Thoroughly recommended.

Stopped one night at the delightful Dolphin Inn in Dunbar on a cycle tour. From the outside it doesn't look much, but as soon as we entered the courtyard we knew it was a winner. Secure cycle storage, bike wash facilities, friendly staff.The decor inside is bright and quirky, the rooms are basic but comfy, warm and powerful showers. I had an excellent sleep on the firm mattress.Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and breakfast, which is included in the price was just the ticket. Wide range of cereals, bread, jam, peanut butter, tea coffee with plenty of decaf and herbal option, non dairy milk. Winner.Thanks so much for a great stay

Excellent hostel, really clean, welcoming and friendly. Tom who welcomed us was very friendly and knowledgeable about the town, facilities and local history too.So much care and thoughtfulness has gone into the design of the whole hostel building and experience. There’s a retro 70s interior decor style and eco-friendly cleaning products.Decent self-service breakfast included (including non dairy milks), teas, coffee, toast, jame, peanut butter, jams, butter (non-dairy too) and cereal selection.For cyclists this place is a dream, they’ve thought of everything… 3 secure bike lockers in the back garden, and a bike wash too! We arrived too late to use the garden but it looked like a nice place to hang out, i side was very cosy too.Room was clean and tidy, bead reallycomfy too. Bathroom was great too, great shower.Can’t fault this place at all, 100% recommend and would go back.
