Top Poole Hotel Reviews

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"A lovely hotel, right on the beach. Walk out of the rear of the hotel and straight onto the sand. Our third floor room had a sea view and was spacious with a seperate lounge area too. The breakfast was a buffet style and well cooked and presented."

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was only a one night stay but it was great - good room with quiet air conditioning, helpful staff at 11.00 p.m. check-in, and well cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel."

The Merchant House

8/10 Good

"Kind and friendly owner/host. Lovely old house with original artworks, minutes from the quay."

Inn In The Park

8/10 Good

"A very warm and welcoming hotel Good location Staff very helpful, welcoming and approachable Quite overnight ( a little noise from the pub downstairs ) Restaurant good quality food in the evening and a very good tasty breakfast cooked to order Room was of a good size some areas need a little TLC One issue was loud doors closing from other rooms Good wi-fi coverage throughout the building But overall a nice comfortable stay would recommend"

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel has an absolutely unrivalled location.Views are incredible. I was saddened to hear of the uncertainty of its permanence but the building does require some refurbishment. Staff were excellent and room comfortable with stunning sea view. A suggestion.... it's not a Commercial Hotel so why start your breakfast service at 7am.a far better time for guest..and hotel would be 8am till 10:30."

Hotel du Vin & Bistro Poole

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice room, staff were very pleasant and helpful"

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a pet friendly room overlooking the harbour. It was a good size and ample for our two dogs. Some of the furniture is now a little tired, but the bed was comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and gave our dogs lots of fuss and attention. The restaurant team in the evenings was exceptional. They couldn’t do enough for us. Accommodated us at short notice and even repositioned us so we could watch the sun set. The food was fantastic. The team at breakfast were far less welcoming and a little more care was needed when cooking. We had overcooked bacon and eggs."

Grovefield Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant hotel and very accommodating"
