Ok, but will be better when refurbishment all done
The hotel is currently being refurbished, so we expected some disruption. The restaurant wasn’t open for service in the evening. Our superior room was newly appointed, clean and comfortable with balcony view of the river and countryside. Large and clean bathroom. No complaints there. On the downside, there was only one person on reception, the WiFi didn’t work in the room and the cooked breakfast used poor quality sausages.

Going through renovations when we stayed so imagine things will be different very soon. The staff was top notch and the location is perfect with many options for food and drinks in walking distance.

Weekend stay to visit family.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and had everything needed in room. Room next to road but no traffic so mainly quiet. Had to keep curtains shut due to people walking past. Brief noise in evening from people having been out and coming back and /or getting cars. Most rooms are away from the road though.

Aggressive staff
Absolutely disgusting service, the staff swore at us and we left the hotel at 10:30pm. There is no restaurant facility and there is construction work whis is not advertised anywhere. The staff are rude and aggressive. Lisa should not be allowed to work in customer service. Ruined my anniversary and i wouldn't recommend anyone atay here.

Beautiful Location
This is the 3rd time we've stayed at the Dolphin, twice at Wedding Receptions which were amazing and this time for an overnight meetup with friends. It is in the process of having extensive alterations but this hasn't in any way affected the smooth running, or cleanliness of this Hotel. Lovely location. Friendly staff. Would recommend it to anyone.

1 member of staff (Lisa) was rude and unprofessional and ruined the stay. The other staff were good. Very little food options for evening meal was disappointing so we had to go into town to eat. Breakfast was good though.

We had an amazing weekend. Some of the hotel needs updated but this had been started before COVID. The outside area by the river was beautiful although the weather did help! St Ives was a beautiful village and I will definitely go there again
