Thistle Poole

Basically a beach motel

If you're visiting for a beach weekend and need somewhere affordable to stay, it's a good option. Still, for the quality and considering how outdated the rooms were I would have expected it to be cheaper.

The decor and room was outdated and depressing to be in. Furniture and bed wasn't comfortable and felt damp. Just glad I was here for business and didn't have to spend much time in the room.

The friendly staff in the restaurant

The Reception staff, the arrival and caheck in procedure was unprofessional and the temperature cold. I was left for 15 minutes before the receptionist acknowledged my arrival with no apology for keeping me waiting.

The views from the restaurant and ease of access into Poole and along the coast. The lounge was comfortable when available, ie functions.

Disliked only having one comfortable chair in a twin room. Having to pay a carpark charge as a guest. Limited guest dinner service when a function was on.(We left without dessert and coffee offered)

The main reason for staying here was they are dog friendly & the location is very good.

The room was tired & I felt that the hotel generally was in need of a makeover.The £5 charge a night for parking is more than the public pay for parking during the day
