Poole hotellia

Plussat: Great location 10 minute walk from the beach. Well decorated and comfortable room, great breakfast.

Plussat: Everything, loved the room

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very pleasant old house in the avenues near the Poole-Bournemouth border and walking distance of the sea. A comfortable lounge, excellent breakfast -nothing to fault really.

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Everything was flawless and the hospitality and welcome from Chris was second to none

Miinukset: Fantastic on every level. Beautiful hotel within minutes walk of the beach. Cannot be faulted. We thoroughly look forward to returning

Plussat: The place itelf was nice and clean, but really dated. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Too much overrated place. We just wnted run from the city crowd for the new year eve. Walls are not soundproof, i could hear literally everything from next door, even some noisy people were disturbing too much. Sleep was very poor and check out very early. Breakfast ok, but long waiting time, i guess better for a self catering service. Overall we did not really enjoyed our stay and we expected more for the price we paid.

Plussat: Super clean and convenient location, only a one night stay but everything was fine, nice breakfast too.

Miinukset: Slightly dated decor.

Plussat: Great rooms and very friendly team that work there. I loved the breakfast in the morning and the tea/biscuits in the room. The chocolate on the pillow was a nice touch too. Thanks for a great stay!

Plussat: Very comfortable bed & tasty breakfast

Miinukset: Was all great

Plussat: Great food. Staff very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere

Miinukset: Room a little dark. A couple more optional lights needed.

Plussat: Location was excellent, large room

Miinukset: Parking was difficult and limited spaces. We had issues with the hot water in the bathroom, but they were resolved. The lighting in the room was poor.

Plussat: All in all i think the prices were reasonable Ate in bistro once, good, and reasonable value

Miinukset: The room required some minor repairs/attention

Plussat: Lovely historic building

Miinukset: Little difficult to find as it was a bit tucked away, well worth the effort though

Plussat: Bed was very comfy, lovely shower

Plussat: Very local positioning for ferry port and local shops etc Takeaway breakfast for those with no time to spare.

Plussat: Loved this hotel everything was perfect quick check in from friendly staff the room was clean and the comfy beds made for a very good nights sleep and breakfast was very good would highly recommend

Miinukset: There wasn’t anything wrong with this hotel if I would say anything negative for me it was a long walk to the harbour the 5 minute walk that was suggested was at least over 15 minutes for a 54 year old with a bit of weight to carry so it was taxi back but for a younger and fitter person the location is brilliant .

Miinukset: Value for price

Miinukset: Complete rip off charging £10 per night to park.

Plussat: Great breakfast, beautiful views, friendly staff.

Plussat: We are well acquainted with the hotel having visited before. The hotel like its sister hotels the Haven and Sandbanks enjoy a good reputation locally and we were not disappointed. The room was well appointed comfortable and spacious and the staff attentive. The food offering was also good despite the main restaurant being closed for refurbishment.

Miinukset: Read the small print. Car parking is extra.

Plussat: Amazing view, nice staff, good quality breakfast

Miinukset: Internet was quite poor

Plussat: Views from the hotel balcony is excellent Rooms are a nice size and the beds are very comfortable The hitelnwas clean and the staff very helpful and friendly

Miinukset: We were there for a function unfortunately they werent prepared properly

Plussat: The room was very nice quite big and had a lovely view.

Miinukset: Some of the staff could do with better training but we were there just after the Christmas and New Year period so I guess some were on holiday.

Plussat: The hotel was in a idea position and very cosy. Staff we’re very friendly.

Miinukset: I think it might be getting close to needing a slight update. From the outside,it does not look the most inviting of hotels and could do with a fresh look.

Plussat: The reception was top class in every way and brilliant help and looked after us very well and she is great person to have to work for you and should be well looked after to keep her furtutre

Miinukset: That the spa was in different hotel but still no treatment at this time of year when you need most

Plussat: Breakfast was really good . and we loved the location, and just about everything, the staff were friendly and very obliging.

Miinukset: nothing that I can think of.really

Miinukset: Hardly any gluten free options, not even any bread for breakfast! The very small breakfast I had was luke warm, the coffee was stewed. Not very nice. The shower was warm but water pressure was weak.

Plussat: The staff were excellent, even changed our room( without asking, to a quiet area,due to party, only snag was I sent a email,which wasn’t answered, so we didn’t book the New Years dinner, otherwise excellent.

Miinukset: The internet is a bit and miss

Plussat: The staff were pleasant, the views from the hotel are amazing and the food was lovely. I'd definitely stay again, but only if the decor was updated as it was like going back in time a little. But thank you

Miinukset: The room and decor of the hotel was very dated . The outside seating area was a bit tatty. There was hardly any water pressure for the shower in the morning which was disappointing.

Plussat: The views across the harbour are probably the best reason to stay here. The breakfast is unusually good. As well as a small continental buffet with fresh fruit and cereals, there is a menu of interesting items like avocado toast and a superfoods bowl with quinoa (as well as the usual full English). Our two rooms at the top were very spacious with fabulous views. The staff were nice.

Miinukset: The beds are a bit saggy. The breakfast coffee is pretty ordinary (a thermos flask of weak coffee). There were various plumbing noises at night. On of our rooms smelled of dog.

Plussat: Staff were friendly

Miinukset: Bedroom was very cold on arrival. Couldn’t sleep and a constant noise.. sounded like a pump. Bathroom was tatty and room and hotel wAs very tired. Needed renovation.

Plussat: Lovely staff

Miinukset: Very satisfied , no adverse comments.

Plussat: The food and service were first class. The staff were faultless

Miinukset: Mattress was very hard and kitchen fan outside The window. This would not put me off staying again.

Plussat: The staff are great and the breakfast was superb. Ideal for what we wanted. The place was spotless

Miinukset: There were 3 couples and the room size varied a lot. But this is nit picking as we only needed somewhere to sleep.

Plussat: The staff were great

Miinukset: Room nice and clean but a little dated

Plussat: Very friendly and competent staff Enjoyable meals Good location

Miinukset: Would have preferred king size bed to small double

Plussat: My room was lovely (airy, clean, beautifully decorated) and the staff member who checked me was exceptionally helpful and welcoming... I would definately stay again!

Miinukset: The manager working in the morning seemed irritated that I wanted breakfast - but excellent poached eggs made up for it! Great use of local produce in the restaurant, however I would have liked to have seen more effort paid to sustainability in the rooms...

Plussat: The room was comfortable if simple but having the Loch Fyne restaurant downstairs was great. In particular the breakfast, included in the price of the room, was really special.

Miinukset: No complaints really. Car park is shared with the restaurant and since our arrival coincided with peak time it was a bit tricky finding a space but staff were helpful and this was quickly sorted out. Carpet in room was a bit stained but nothing serious. Slightly noisy but again not a problem for us. For a rare overnight away from our three kids we didn't mind a bit of noise ;)

Plussat: Lovely room. Really comfy beds. Good location. Excellent food.

Miinukset: Parking a bit limited. Ambient music was too loud and not really suited to a hotel like this and certainly not conducive to a relaxing dining experience.

Plussat: All good. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: A comfortable stay, nice room, great breakfast!

Miinukset: Room was very warm

Plussat: Helpful and knowledgeable

Miinukset: Price of wine.

Plussat: This is our third stay at The Plantation and we (and our dogs) always receive a warm welcome. The room is great, clean and comfy. The food is great too, especially the Plantation breakfast. And the staff are fabulous.

Miinukset: Unfortunately The Plantation is closed for refurbishment for a few weeks, fingers crossed its open for our return visit to the uk in April.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast and location also 12 of us had dinner, very good.

Miinukset: Very hot

Plussat: Staff were great

Miinukset: Smell of toilets on entry. Room very basic. Wouldn’t pay that much again for it.

Plussat: good choice very friendly waitress

Plussat: Bed was comfortable,room adequate for what We wanted (small double) would stay again Staff polite friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed was ok

Miinukset: No showergel/shampoo left in the bottle (didn't find out until I was in the shower!). Handsoap bottle was nearly empty too. The towels and bedding didn't look completely clean. The whole hotel looks as though it needs a refurbishment and definitely new carpets.

Plussat: In a great location for many restaurants. Great breakfast and very cheerful and attentive staff.

Miinukset: Update needed in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli erinomainen aito englantilainen aamiainen, joka valmistettiin tilauksesta. Aamiaisella oli tarjolla myös runsaasti leivonnaisia. Vuode oli myös hyvin mukava. Sijainti oli lähellä kaunista rantaa ja kävelyetäisyydellä matkustajasatamasta.

Miinukset: WC ei ollut erityisen tarkoin siivottu. Vesihana oli vanhanaikainen ja vaikea.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: long walk to my room

Plussat: Close to beach great hotel

Plussat: Food was expensive but very good so worth it. Liked the patina of the hotel a bit crumbled on the decor front but adds character

Miinukset: Paying to park as unable to book on the hotel website which would have meant free parking Double bed was ok but a bit small for what we paid for maybe should have had a twin

Plussat: Very clean, excellent staff, excellent food

Miinukset: Spa not clean and some things not working

Plussat: Big room Nice staff Comfortable bed Hairdryer and iron present Restaurant very good Good location near the beach

Miinukset: Decor looks cheap and needs updating Carpet dirty and fraying near the window No soap in bathroom The bathroom looks like it hasn't been updated in a very time (worn taps and plug hole, lino floor etc) No sound insulation (can clearly hear people's conversation) Nothing like the photos Does not feel like a £240 per night room (room 235 faces back of hotel)

Plussat: Amazing restaurant. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy.

Miinukset: Awful shower - might as well have splashed myself with the sink tap! Room was unbearably hot in the middle of January even with the windows open and heating off!

Plussat: Amazing views, amazing beaches ..food was brilliant.. you need a car there tho as their is no were to really walk to other then thes beaches

Plussat: Breakfast was "exceptional". Great service and quality.

Miinukset: Room was poor décor and looked very tired. Wine was very expensive. Parking @£10.00 per night is expensive as on "off season". Could easily park in the road for no charge this time of year.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Very nice views nice and tidy lovly breakfast

Plussat: The view from balcony lovely to sit out there

Plussat: Great location for sandbanks and beach particularly

Miinukset: Staff were not very friendly. Room was ok but bed was uncomfortable. Pillows particularly Unhappy about having to spend £10 on parking because we booked thru booking .comm but told if we had done it thru then direct they would give parking for free and upgrade. A right con!!

Plussat: The staff were quite good and the food was good ,both dinner and breakfast. Full marks to reception who were excellent.

Miinukset: This hotel is past it's sell by date and has little to offer. The room was clean but 'tired' with scruffy toilet fittings, no shower mat in the bath/shower (although a notice strategically placed in the bath to say slipping may be a problem) and the air conditioning system was inoperative. I understand that the hotel is now closed to get this and other issues fixed but it would have been nice to know in advance that there was a problem! No 'do not disturb' for the room door and no spare toilet roll were just little annoyances. Most of the keg beers and lagers were not available and there was no real ale left at all. A glass of orange juice from the bar was sent back as it tasted fizzy and distinctly 'off'. The waiter smelled it suspiciously and reluctantly opened a new carton! without an apology.

Plussat: the sea view

Miinukset: they had run out of beer - I had to drink my 4th choice!!!

Plussat: Hotel is in a great position, with great views, food in the restaurant both evening and breakfast was good. Rooms are spacious , comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: The lift is small.

Plussat: Good breakfast, good location and good room facilities.

Miinukset: On a main road, so quite noisy. Bed too soft.

Plussat: Fantastic restaurant where we had a lovely meal for dinner and breakfast. Check in was very quick and staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: Room was very noisy. The windows were single glazed and looked out onto a main road

Miinukset: No food in afternoons

Plussat: The location is convenient for us and the bed comfortable. Good shower room.

Miinukset: I asked for a quiet room but we were given a room right above a busy crossroads. Oddly shabby furnishings. The small kettle took at least 5 minutes to come to the boil. The breakfast was badly organised because 'the morning waitress had rung in sick'. We had to request even cereals and milk etc to be produced, and the scrambled egg tasted very odd. On a previous visit, we were told that 'the chef had walked out the night before'! The hotel needs to think again about supplying breakfast.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Room furniture old & basic. Toilet very cramped. Parking area not well policed

Plussat: The restaurant is fantastic, the food was beyond our expectations.

Plussat: Very comfy room, good price and very good location!

Miinukset: Bathroom in room 7 needs some attention -cracked floor tiles and shower door doesnt close properly unless played with for a bit! However the other room I stayed in before was perfect.

Plussat: Perfect location for the NYE we planned

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike!

Plussat: Nice hot shower and, despite being over the top of the pub and adjacent to the main road, pretty quiet.

Miinukset: The pictures look better than it is. The floor tiles in the bathroom were cracked. The toilet seat was broken, there was no iron in the room and the bed was 4 single mattresses stacked on top of each other to create a double that sat within a broken wooden frame...

Plussat: Scenery. Facing the bay.

Miinukset: The room rate.

Plussat: Lovely spacious and clean room. Only stayed one night but due to storms outside we ended up staying in the hotel and ordering room service which was fantastic. Excellent service and lovely food. Also had a harbour view which was great to watch the storm from. Will definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Breakfast was great and very vegan friendly. Great chef and breakfast front of house staff. Parking no problem. This hotel welcomed our dog.

Plussat: We didn’t have breakfast because we had to get the boat early.

Miinukset: Nothing really the room was nice and comfortable, very friendly staff and the food was good especially as we could eat until 10.00 pm, and they treated the pup wonderful.

Miinukset: A little tired in places. Cheaper to eat in town.

Plussat: All Great

Miinukset: NOTHING

Plussat: Large comfortable, clean bed and room. Good on site facilities. We were able to eat in bar area with our dog. Handy for the port and nice walks around the location.

Miinukset: Everything was good.

Plussat: The harbour view was lovely. Bedding was nice and clean. Nice to have water bottles in the room.

Miinukset: The hotel room definitely needs updating. The furniture is tatty and the bathroom needs updating. The carpets in the corridor are stained. The window catch was broken. At breakfast, the scrambled eggs were over cooked.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful. The bed was comfy

Miinukset: The rooms could do.with upgrading as looking old and tired . Carpets very stained in rooms and around the hotel . Having to pay for parking £6 per night . The carpark is behind the hotel , which is used by non patrons . I don't think paying guests should have to pay for parking on top of their stay

Plussat: Very well located , on the front but within walking distance of the main street and most of the restaurants and bars. Good breakfast All the staff were helpful and friendly Room was well cleaned

Miinukset: The shower was in the bath and not very user friendly for older people. The heating system is poor.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Very good contnental breakfast

Miinukset: There was no hot water in the room at 3.30pm. When I mentioned it later, suggestion was we should have rung down and they would have switched it on! Also, the steam shower didn't work and we had to ask for biscuits promised on our arrival. Staff didn't seem to particularly care when we pointed each of these things out

Plussat: Lovely hotel/restaurant in very good taste and beautiful surroundings.

Miinukset: Our room was very small, elegant bathroom.

Plussat: Helpful staff, good food, clean and comfortable room

Plussat: Very quiet though a little far out of the town therefor a car is essential We did not eat there other than breakfast but the diners we saw on our return seemed tobe well cared for

Miinukset: Roomalittlesmall so there was no room for extra chairs

Plussat: Breakfast, comfortable bed, attractive surroundings

Miinukset: Lack of staff on reception. Room not ready on arrival.

Plussat: Clean hotel

Miinukset: Size of room.

Plussat: Room was very clean and bed comfortable.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike.

Plussat: if you love your food then this is the place to stay fine dining at it's best

Miinukset: noise from other parts of the restaurant were heard in our room.

Plussat: Peaceful, comfortable and excellent food and service.

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: I was told the hotel remains open in the night and I could return any time. I returned at 3 am and found the entrance locked from inside. The owner had to wake up and was not happy about it. I had specifically asked about opening in the night and did not appreciate a stranger expressing displeasure at my late return. I was there for a printing job that ran late in the night, the only reason to book a hotel there instead of returning home to London.
