Deluxe Double Room (Church View) | View from room

1. Quayside Quarters

Poole Old Town

"it was a perfect location, just a few steps from the High Street and the harbour. Alhough the summer has been unusually warm, the room was breezy in the evening and overnight, and I didn’t need the tower fan that was provided to get a good night’s sleep each of the four nights I stayed. There was tea and coffee and plenty of cold water in the fridge. The clawfoot cast-iron bathtub was wonderful. The host was attentive and responded quickly to my questions."

Top Poole Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and well maintained. Parking was also convenient"

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."

Inn In The Park

8/10 Good

"Stayed for 2 nights in August. Been here before and had a couple of meals which are always excellent. The breakfast choice was excellent. I appreciate this is a pub that serves food and has to prep for lunch but maybe a little tweak to the time , currently 9 - 9.30 to maybe 10 might be a good option for some. The room, could do with sprucing up, bathroom definitely needs modernising installing panelling get rid of the tiles as they do tend to start looking grubby! We were down during the heatwave so it was exceptionally hot in the room no air con(which I know is not probably cost worthy for the pub to install), we did have a fan but it just circulated hot air so due to this not much sleep was had plus right over the kitchen so if you had the window open the room smelt like whatever was being cooked! So my suggestion is the tower style fans that actually blow out cool air would make for a better nights sleep during the heat we appear to be getting of late. This would be a perfect place to stay in the winter as we know houses in the uk were originally built to hold the heat, which this room certainly did! We would recommend to our friends as long as they weren’t after anything fancy."
