Great for the price
This is a great budget hotel. It's located near local amenities and is perfectly comfortable. The staff were professional and the bed was comfortable but firm. The only downside was the toilet flush wasn't amazing.

Lovely stay
We had a one night stay . Reception staff friendly , room very clean lovely walk in shower with nice branded toiletries ( Dove ) shampoo & body wash , box of tissues, fresh white towels that even fitted my husband, , tea / coffee making facilities , decent hair dryer in front of a full size mirror & a chair to sit on , good size TV , plenty of sockets but no usb port , plenty of cloths hang space with hangers , black out curtains. Breakfast was very good and well cooked , plenty of hot cold choices , you could eat outside in a covered area . We were not rushed . The whole dining area was constantly being cleaned , by lovely polite , helpful smiling staff , also a bar with a Tv lounge area with comfy seats to relax inn . The whole place had a relaxing casual atmosphere with a professional feel . There was plenty of parking , but be advised it costs £8.50 for 24 hours , paid at reception , still very good value , I missed this information when I booked !!! I would 100% stay again and would recommend for a no fuss relaxing stay .

Good Hotel
Stayed at the hotel for 1 night whilst on Poole on business. The hotel was clean and comfortable and fine for the 1 night I was there. Location wise it was pretty good as walked to the quay for food. Breakfast was very good, especially as free with the room rate.

Great location
We only stayed for one night but found our room to be clean, and larger than we expected. The corridor outside our room was also larger than a lot of hotel corridors which helped to lessen any noise from other guests. We went to breakfast at 07:30 and there was plenty of available seating, and all breakfast items were available. The hotel is ideally located for Poole town centre, ten minutes walk, and it's close to the Lighthouse theatre. The main bus station is also very close so you can easily get to Bournemouth if needed.
