Great staff, tired venue
A good welcome from a busy team on a very busy Friday evening. All our interactions with the staff were excellent. Portion sizes were good and the food was presented well, with a smile and at a very fair price. What lets the place down is the decor including the bedrooms which are clean but tired and run down. Everything is functional but the venue is overdue an upgrade.

A old building so quiet quirky. Lots of plug sockets and a fan provided as there is no aircon.
The shower was really powerful.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel, unfortunately by a busy main road. Food and staff are lovely however the windows in the rooms could do with being double glazed, it is quite loud when traffic is going past, especially on a hot day and the windows are open.

This hotel was ideal for a one night stay in Poole. Pleasant room. I arrived early evening and was able to order a meal straight away. Good food reasonably priced - this applies to breakfast as well.
