Yes this hotel is a bit dated but we didn’t care about that. The staff were all lovely, the location is fabulous and the food was excellent. We would 100% stay again. One tiny criticism, the bins on the outside terrace were overflowing and seagulls were fighting over the pizza scraps.

The superb Sandbank's Hotel

We had a lovely couple of days at the Sandbanks Hotel. The room was a little tired but we had a beautiful view overlooking the seafront . The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything that we needed. Breakfast was really nice and plentiful with excellent choices. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.

We visited Sandbanks hotel for the 1st time and I can honestly say the front of house was very welcoming. The staff very helpful & provided some recommendations for local bars & restaurants. We booked the large sea view double rooms , these are located on the 1st & 2nd with a full frontal view of the sea . The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. Great location , great for couples & family . Will definitely recommend and will re visit .

Lovely location and beachside hotel. Great service from all staff. Hotel is quite old fashioned circa 1960s decor. There is carpet lining the inside of the lift which is a little odd. The food at the restaurant is OK, just a little plain and basic but does the job when you're hungry. Slept well.

Location is fantastic,staff are amazing,hotel had so much history.Needs a bit of updating now as it feels tired.It would be nice if they renovated it similar to the original style to keep it’s history alive.Bar/sunbed area could be cleaner.Any random can use them as they can just walk up steps from beach.Needs some form of security measures to enable use for guests only.Food was amazing and well presented
