I had an amazing trip & this hotel was part of it. I found the staff to be exceptional & very helpful. I loved having the restaurant right in the hotel. My room overlooked the ruins & the Priory & had air conditioning & a walk in shower which were priorities for me. It was a quick walk to the high street for shopping, bank, other food options & a quick walk to the ferries on the river. I would absolutely stay here again.
Outdoor view. Bus stops right out front.
Cozy/snug room on the 3rd floor. Lift was just outside the door.
Good closet space with iron/board, mini fridge, & tea kettle.

This is a lovely hotel in the perfect location for a visit to Christchurch. The premier room we had was huge and well appointed. The aircon was very useful in the hot weather we had. We got the early check in, which I recommend as it’s easier to find a parking spot earlier in the day. The staff were very friendly and even gave us a free welcome drink. We will definately stay here again.

The staff are lovely. The rooms are excellent. The mistake in the choice of rooms to book was the fault of Expedia. There photographs and descriptions were not accurate. The staff at the hotel have since dealt with the issue. I would highly recommend the Kings Arms and will be sure to stay again.

Hi there, I was there for a one-night-stay (some funerals). The staff was nice and welcoming! The bedroom was comfortable and spacious with an excellent air-con with unforgiving hot conditions (heatwave) outside. After a train-trip impacted by the hot temperatures, it was great to arrive in this haven! Next morning, Breakfast was excellent. There are a few nice places around, though I arrived on a Monday evening, so many restaurants were closed. The hotel is well located at walking distance from shops, restaurants and places to visit.

The hotel room had shutters which did not block out the light and the aircon unit was really loud

Newly refurbished in great style, the hotel was a delight in all respects. From a really friendly welcome to a lovely big bedroom (with a great view of the old castle ruins and beautiful Priory church) and an excellent evening meal we were really happy with our choice.

The stay was a lovely relief after a busy day. The room was large and comfortable, however the pillows were very soft. We ate at the hotel with the food being beautifully presented and delicious. Would recommend.
