Very Good

Clean, friendly staff, good breakfast but rooms are on the small side. Locations isn't good for walking anywhere.
A good place for 1 or perhaps 2 nights but not longer - we use it as an overnight stay before catching the ferry to France.
Have stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years and always get an excellent service. The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is excellent, one of the best I've had for years. Poole is a great base to explore Dorset and Hampshire.The only downside of the hotel is that as the car park is run by a separate company you have to pay for parking which at £10 per day can mount up

Breakfast was excellent, dinner however is a different kettle of fish. To charge £4.00 for 5 onion rings was actually a rip off. Over the two dinners we had in the hotel service was inadequate. Bringing out two dishes separately because one meal wasn’t ready. I’m expecting decent service and pulling the staff off the reception desk to run the and wait table is unprofessional and rediculous.
Everything about this hotel was great. Location perfect for theatre and town. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, room was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was superb - great variety to suit all tastes and constantly being replenished.
