Haven Hotel

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Despite mixed reviews we have nothing but praise for this hotel and its staff. The location and views were wonderful. The room was clean, the staff were friendly and the food in the restaurant and breakfast was excellent. Yes, the hotel is a bit tired and dated but fully understand why with the continuous battle for it to remain open and not be developed into flats. That must be worrying for all staff, but I could not fault them one bit on their service and attitude. Please let this hotel remain here and invest in its future for people to come and stay for many more years to come."

Sandbanks Hotel

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed in a family room on the first floor which was spacious and clean with a sea view. The furnishing in general was adequate but quite dated. This was reflected throughout the hotel. The bath was rusty which meant we relied on the shower which was good. The balcony door wasn’t secure with a flimsy catch. The radiator although not used was very rusty in need of maintenance. The decoration in the public areas was better in general it felt like the hotel needed a refurb"

"Liked the proximity to the beach and for walking into town. Bus stops close by. Would have liked a fridge in the room, not the cool box that was provided as it was inadequate. Great stay, staff were very friendly, restaurant was decent. Would probably stay at the Rembrandt again."
