8 Dyer Hotel

When the world seems too chaotic, Ptown is my go-​to place to recharge, and 8 Dyer is my chosen sanctuary and home base. Everything about this Inn just works: the rooms are comfortable, full of light and well appointed; one of the Inn owners is a master chef and cooks a gourmet breakfast every day; the architecture is light-​filled and modern; and the pool and hot tub are incredible spots when you want to escape the craziness of town. Steve and Brandon have created a magical place for anyone who loves Ptown and wants to feel at home while they are there. Thanks, guys. I will be back for certain.

Very clean. Worth every penny. Came down for a weekend to get away from the city. On our arrival we got upgraded to the room with a jacuzzi which was amazing. Great location, great staff, perfect get away. The complimentary breakfast both mornings were out of this world!!!

We had such a lovely time in Provincetown off season and absolutely loved our stay at 8 Dyer. Quiet, clean, well throughout, and welcoming space with lovely hosts and amazing breakfast makes you feel completely relaxed and comfortable. The food at breakfast, cooked personally by one of the owners, was the best in town! Perfect experience overall.

8 Dyer is perfect.
The owners are great, and it shows that they run the place because they love what they do. Others have mentioned the hot tub, pool, fireplace, breakfast, snacks, nice rooms, multiple coffee options, etc. However, it can’t be overstated that the gestalt of it all is great. Although I don’t want you Unilocalers competing with me for reservations there, I can’t not put in a good word for them.

We stayed in P-​town in September with another couple and had such a blast. 8 Dyer really was the icing on the cake for us. It’s very well appointed, breakfast is absolutely delectable and the hosts are lovely. We really enjoyed the thoughtful touches such as the snacks available throughout the day and the drinks after dinner.
Can’t wait to stay again!

Our first time here this summer. LOVED IT. Greeted by Brandon (hope I spelled his name correctly) asked us how we were doing and offered us a glass of wine or beer which was very nice. He then gave us a tour of the premises shows us where everything is. Helped us with our bags to the room and settled in.
Loved the back deck with Pool. Towels and water on back as well.
Indoor Hot tub & Sauna.
Keurig coffee & tea available all day long as well as great snacks available all day long too.
The breakfast prepared every morning was sensational.
We will be back.

This is an amazing spot. Modern sea-​side design and absolutely amazing breakfast. We are so glad we ended up here for a week and can’t wait to come back. The pool is perfect. They get all the details right here: Malin and Goetz products in the bathroom, great music by the pool, cleaning with Mrs Meyers, and limoncello and Baileys after dinner. The best!

There are SO many choices for bed & breakfasts in Provincetown, but we chose 8 Dyer because of the great reviews and it’s more contemporary look. The place was fantastic: close to downtown location, very clean, quant and modern at the same time, and Steve was so incredibly kind and helpful.
We were having a hard time getting dinner reservations, so when we took him up on his offer to help with that he worked his magic and got us in at the restaurant we wanted (which he recommended and was great).
Breakfast in the morning was SUPER good, lots of options, and very accommodating to my dairy-​free restrictions.
This place is awesome and Steve is someone I wish I could be friends with. Side note — we stayed in Rm10, which has a great balcony when the weather is nice.

Truly as good as it gets.
We have vacationed in P’town for many years and the new owners of this Inn have made it into one of the best experiences my husband and I have enjoyed on the Cape.
The décor is attractive, functional, and most important, comfortable for conversation and getting to know one’s fellow travelers. It is spotlessly clean with high-​end amenities (soaps, shampoo, etc.).
The crucial element in 8 Dyer’s success comes from it’s innkeepers, Brandon and Steve. Relaxed, easy-​going, and knowledgeable about the local goings-​on, they create a fun and welcoming home for guests. When we asked for suggestions for where to hold our wedding ceremony, one of Steve’s suggestions was there at the inn. When we arrived, we knew he was right. They seamlessly provided catering, flowers & cake (through a local businessman, Brad Carlson), and many suggestions of local officiants.
While most B&Bs provide breakfast consisting of cold cereal and pastries, Brandon and Steve prepare a home-​cooked, fresh, full breakfast each day. Absolutely wonderful.
I can not say enough to recommend 8 Dyer. Bravo!

This hotel was great. A perfect place to enjoy Provincetown from. The hosts were very attentive to every detail. The breakfast that was prepared fresh was superb. The homemade honey from their own on site hives was a pleasant surprise.

What a fabulous B&B! We stayed for three nights and left wishing for more.
The building was gorgeous. The shared lobby has two-​story floor-​to-​ceiling windows that let the light stream in; when we went in early October, there was also a roaring fire keeping things cozy. Our room (PH3) was equally lovely. It’s not huge, but the two of us had ample space. The penthouse is so well-​designed: everything from the fireplace, to the private balcony, to the lofted jacuzzi was just right for a comfortable and romantic getaway.
When we were there, we only saw Frank, who was a model host (as was their sweet puppy Emma). However, we benefited from Tim’s delicious homemade granola, which I had on a different yogurt every day, topped with fresh fruit and honey from their own hive (how cool is that?).
A really lovely stay.

Perfection. I don’t want to say too much about it because I don’t want it to book up.
Begrudgingly, I’ll write this review because they’re just so damn nice.
*This place has well conceived minimalist style. Lot’s of places on the Cape are tacky. This isn’t.
*Tim & Frank really know how to please without being too far up in your business. They are classy people.
*They have great reading material — from fresh editions of the Times & Globe to a trade paperback compilation of issues of Butt magazine. Rare to find a place that really pays attention to the stuff they put out for people to read. No dusty hardcover editions of Reader’s Digest to be found (although if you wanted one, I bet they could tell you where to get it.)
*It’s a diverse, mixed crowd and there’s a good vibe among guests.
*It’s so damn clean my girlfriend couldn’t even find anything to complain about. What?
*Jacuzzi & pool. Clean, welcoming.
*They put thought into the food they serve. I can’t stand places that try to stuff you and I get pissy if I go to places that try to starve me.
*It’s quiet and it’s organized.
I’ve stayed at this place twice — once in February and once in June. Both times I went, it was great. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It pains me to post this review. I hope to go return there in the future.

Staff was extremely eager to please. Frank was very attentive to make sure we had everything we need to be comfortable. He even offered to bring us complimentary beer out to the pool in an ice bucket to keep the drinks cold. Room was immaculate and designed with perfect taste. Fabulous Saturday morning breakfast buffet cooked personally by TIm.
Thanks so much Tim and Frank, you are fantastic hosts! We will surely return to stay here many more times.
Only negative for nicotine slaves is the 8 Dyer hotel is a smoke-​free property, had to go down the street to smoke.

I can’t imagine a better experience. This was by far the best stay I have ever had, anywhere in the world. I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Tim, but I loved his homemade granola. Frank was the most gracious host I have ever encountered. I don’t even know where to start…
First of all, the hotel is beautiful, immaculate, modern and charming at the same time. Aesthetically, it is perfect. The room was quiet, cool (we were there during a heat wave) and was everything we wanted. However, the 8 Dyer is far more than a beautiful, sophisticated Bed and Breakfast.
Because it was so hot, several of the guests enjoyed the beautiful pool area during the warm afternoons. Frank and Tim provide lush towels and refreshments. As if that weren’t enough, Frank checked in with us making sure we had exactly what we wanted. Frank served us our favorite wine as well as unexpected nut mix. It was so lovely.
There were fresh, local baked goods left out to enjoy at the end of the night, the breakfast was amazing. We had the most wonderful time. We will be back!

This place was AMAZING.
Both Tim and Frank, our hosts, were super friendly and gave us great tips on what to do while my gf and I were staying in town.
The room was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, the ambiance was very romantic, and we had a fireplace in our room. We ended up spending the night in late april, and we spent roughly $ 175 for the delux room. They had a more basic room too, but i insisted on having a fireplace and jacoozi in my room. The smaller room was also very pleasant and about 30−40% cheaper.
E breakfast was reallllly good, and they had fresh honey, collected by the bees in their backyard beehive– ask Tim to show it to you– super cool.
This b&b is very well located and is easily walking distance to the downtown area– 2 blocks away, but far enough where you dont get the noise from the latenight bar-​hoppers.
I cant wait to go back there with my gf next time she is in town. I am going back up there tomorrow with my mom, and i will probably stop in just to say hello to the guys.
Cheers.

boutique lovely…
tim & frank are attentive, kind, and incredibly stylish. so naturally, they’ve set up a beautiful and comfortable place that manages to stoke the inner royal/​hippie child in me.
the minimalist style of the interior — gorgeous wood floors, metal accents, soothing colors– sets the stage for sunlight to stream in and play with my senses, while i soaked in the tub under the leaves of an indoor garden and while i treated my taste buds to tim & frank’s homemade, decadent, butter-​rich cakes, furtadas, and dripping local honey on rye.
show some compassion to yourself, treat yourself — stay here and smile :)

A real gem! I stayed there last year during carnival and I still wake up some mornings wishing I was at 8 dyer.
It was my first time in p-​town, but I don’t think I would go back unless I could stay here again.

Of the many B&Bs I’ve stayed at in Provincetown, the newly opened 8 Dyer is my favorite. After the dizzying experience of perusing B&B websites (there are just so many!), Keith S. and I chose this one for Valentine’s Day night because it fulfilled my two main requirements: fireplaces in the rooms and a not-​in-​the-​room (but nonetheless enclosed) hot tub. Although we didn’t make use of the latter, we did get a good look at it (and the sauna) during our arrival tour; it looks perfect for a wintry night.
Beyond the two aforementioned rather arbitrary requirements, many other factors helped make 8 Dyer an even more obvious choice: the décor is simultaneously modern and charming, both in the guest rooms and in the common areas; the downstairs living room (and breakfast) area is an open and sunny two-​story tall space, with a wood-​burning fireplace, comfy couches, tables, and a nicely windowed floor-​to-​ceiling view of the backyard pool; the B&B’s location is central, on a side street right off of Commercial (with parking available!); and the guest rooms are full of nice touches, big and small (like whispery-​quiet mini-​fridges and sink areas complete with silverware, glassware, corkscrews, and chilled bottles of water; free WiFi; Bose Wave Music Systems complete with iPod hookups; nicely-​sized flat-​screen TVs; yummy bath products; chocolates on the pillows; private outdoor decks attached to some rooms). The breakfast buffet was also enjoyable, with an array of yogurts (dairy and soy), fruit, cereal, eggs, toast, juices, coffee… and although I didn’t try the freshly-​baked item, K. seemed to enjoy it.
Best of all, Tim and Frank (and their adorable puppy, Emma) are gracious, flexible (for instance, thanks to my car being towed to who knows where back in Boston that morning, we arrived many hours later than planned – probably especially annoying on a night like Valentine’s – but Tim and Frank were perfect about it), and all-​around outstanding hosts. They were a pleasure to chat with and, on future visits, I look forward to seeing what else they’ve done with the place. Like the rest of P-​Town, this B&B was wonderful and quiet during the middle of the off-​season, and I’m excited to see what it’ll transform into come the chaos of summer.

We were the first guests to stay at this B&B (under new ownership), and the experience was nothing short of perfect. Quiet, super charming décor, very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, impeccable cleanliness, and most of all, the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. Small touches made all the difference — mini fridges with water bottles in the common area, a gift certificate to a nearby café in every room, flexible breakfast times, etc. I went with my family, and they told us that if there were any free rooms, my younger brother could have his own FOR FREE so that he wouldn’t have to share a bed with anyone. Indeed, there were rooms available and the owners made good on their promise.
I would HIGHLY recommend this B&B to anyone. It is absolutely perfect.
