The location is perhaps the main thing about this hotel. It cant get any better than this in terms of location. The Poole Harbor view is fantastic from the Hotel. However the hotel facilities seem rather tired looking despite recent refurbishments

The property is in a great location and easily walkable to the harbour and old sections of Poole. The hotel itself needs some tender loving care. The breakfast buffet is sub-standard and definitely is not worth the price. All staff were very pleasant and helpful.

The shower was luke warm and dripped, costing the hotel money in extra water bills. The reception and other staff were very helpful and it was very convenient to find pet friendly accommodation for our new puppy so close to our ferry terminal.
