Sandbanks Hotel Reviews

Good value 4 day break however air conditioning / kitchen ventilation extractors ran 24/7 and were just below bedroom windows. They were noisy and would have made sleeping in the summer, with windows wide open, quite impossible. Bar, restaurant and reception staff excellent however middle management need to pay attention to detail: broken patio door in bar and broken curtain runner made for a chilly seating area, curtain rails in bedroom similarly in need of TLC as were curtains. New mattress needed. Pool disappointingly tiny.

Enjoyed our stay for two nights while shopping and visiting family in Poole. A comfortable hotel with great views and serving an excellent breakfast. The staff were helpful and friendly.

I thought the reception staff were happy and courteous, also the waiters were prompt and very helpful, which gave a lovely atmosphere. Our bedroom was spacious. Breakfast was ample and good and the evening meal really nice.

We had everything we could possibly need in this hotel, tiny problem with heating in bathroom as it was winter booking. Great position. Lovely views

We had our event in the Compass suite for £35 pp. Perfect. Beautifully laid out tables, wood burner effect fire centrally in the suite, excellent food and hospitality. We had our own disco and bar. Everybody had a great time. There were 49 of us. A few of us stayed over. Our room was spacious, warm, very clean with en suite, tea/coffee and TV.

We enjoyed a really nice weekend at Sandbanks Hotel. With a room that overlooked the sandy beach we couldn't really go wrong though. The restaurant was pleasant and our meal was acceptable. There was a good choice of wines but we found these rather expensive. Weather during the stay was great. The last day of November and we were able to take advantage of the lovely beach side terrace where we had lunch in the sun. This was our first time at this hotel but we could just imagine how fantastic it would be during a spell of fine summer weather. We didn't use the pool or gym but did take a look and will be happy to take a dip on future visits. Breakfast, which was self service, was well prepared,tasty and of good quality. Overall, this hotel was good value for money.

We stayed for a birthday treat, arrived to find room overlooking the bay, everything clean and staff very welcoming. We had a drink in the bar but did not dine as were meeting friends. Breakfast very good with attentive service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Stayed for the weekend of 21st November and thoroughly enjoyed it except for one aspect. On the Friday there was construction noise all through the night for work being carried out to the beach. This continued through the following the day. It seems a sea view on this occasion was a curse!

Nice hotel on the beach. It is dated but that adds to the charm. It is the only hotel right on the beach and you can fall to sleep to the sound of the sea which is why I stay.

Lovely view from my bed, looking at the sea and the beach. Lovely breakfast.
