Top Poole Old Town Hotel Reviews

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great,very good. Thanks"

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great , but there are a few things worth knowing before you book. If you want air conditioning, you must book a Deluxe Room, as the standard rooms don’t have it. Also, if you want to use the fancy swimming pool and jacuzzi you’ll need to pay for access to the spa facilities. I couldn’t arrange my arrival to coincide with the 3 pm check-in, so I arrived early and asked if an early check-in was possible. I was simply told “3 pm”. Every other hotel I’ve stayed at has allowed an early check-in when the room was available, overall very good"

The Durley Dean Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Car park is a little small and we had trouble getting out of the carpark when we left as there was cars double parked in bothsides of the road and over hanging over the exit but this wasn't the hotels fault, We had room 222 which had a double bed, bunk bed, Aircon and a ensuite bathroom with a bath/shower combination. Bath appears to have some sort of damage to the enamel near the plug hole but it didn't affect my shower that I had? Beds and bed sheets were clean and beds were very comfortable, Breakfast was great, I liked that we could go for 2nds and that we could choose what we wanted. There was freshly baked breads and fruit and yoghurt, cooked breakfast and cereals, lots to choose from! Hotel is situated near the seaside and is on the quieter side, it has many, many steps to go down (117) and is very steep and I would imagine someone who suffers with heights would think this is an issue. About 600yards Futher down the beach (near the pier) there is a lift that can take you down. But we never tried this so I'm not sure if there is a price to go down and up? It was quite a interesting lift it ran on rails like a train track and looked almost like a really small house"

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was in the newer part of the hotel, with a good size room and balcony overlooking the beach. A big bed, very firm and clean. Bathroom was a little dated and well worn, but clean. You can’t beat the location of this hotel, literally a couple of steps down from the terrace and you are on soft sandy beach with amazing views. We also used the pool, it’s small and again dated, but clean and has a lifeguard on duty during opening hours. Breakfast is a generous selection from buffet full English to continental pastries, fruit, yoghurt and the conveyor toasters! Sure to delight the kids. We also had their “pizza on the beach” cooked outside on the terrace until 5pm. There’s not a huge selection of places to eat within walking distance, so the catering here is popular and not horrendously priced. Absolutely recommend for a couple of days at the beach for families."
