  Un hotel con encanto marinero para conocer el sur de Inglaterra

  Acabo de regresar de alojarme en este hotel durante 3 noches y la experiencia ha sido en general bastante agradable. El personal de recepción y los camareros del restaurante han tenido un trato tremendamente agradable y muy profesional. El hotel por fuera es bastante bonito y aunque, por dentro no le vendría mal una actualización en algunas cosas (por ejemplo los secadores del baño). La decoración del hotel tiene en su totalidad un inconfundible toque marinero y muy inglés, lo cual, aunque le da un toque un poco antiguo para los que acostumbramos a alojarnos en hoteles más modernos, tiene sin duda su encanto. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y están pensadas para que los clientes tengan todo a su alcance en todo momento, desde secador hasta kettle y variedad de infusiones, pasado por una plancha (con su tabla y todo) para cualquier imprevisto. La temperatura dentro del hotel es muy buena y en está en una calle que, pese a ser una zona muy turística, justo frente al puerto y a 5 minutos andando de la bulliciosa High St, es bastante silenciosa. En cambio si he echado en falta la misma insonorización en la puerta de la habitación ya que, pese a estar todo enmoquetado, he oído retumbar por el pasillo a toda persona que ha pasado por él. Otra cosa a la que le pondría alguna pega es a que solo nos pusiesen 1 juego de toallas para 2 personas, pero bueno, es algo subsanable. Por lo demás todo ha sido perfecto y el desayuno me ha parecido muy bueno también. Con muchos alimentos para todo tipo de gustos. Sin duda un hotel para repetir visita cuando tenga que volver a Poole o sus alrededores.

  Bastante bien

  Hotelito justo delante del puerto, delante tiene parada de bus. Está cerca del centro del pueblo. La cama más cómoda no puede ser. La limpieza súper bien (soy alérgica a los ácaros) el suelo es moqueta y no tuve nada de alergia, lo cual dice que está muy limpia. Para mi gusto el desayuno flojo y el personal bastante antipático. Pero está muy bien.

  Afternoon tea

  Had a lovely afternoon tea here today. £21.95 for two with a glass of prosecco each and unlimited tea. The most amazing view from the restaurant area. One warm scone each with clotted cream and jam. A selection of miniature cakes and a few finger sandwiches. A really lovely afternoon tea and fantastic price. Would definitely return.

  Location is the key

  We stayed here for 5 nights in October. The location can't be beaten - we paid for a quayside view which was lovely and it was so close to loads of restaurants and pubs. It is your typical corporate hotel - the layout, the decor etc, but it was a really good base. I was really impressed with the covid measures in place. I really felt at ease. All the staff were friendly - really helpful reception staff - organising a taxi for us to Rick Stein's restaurant. The young guy and girl who work in the restaurant - mainly at breakfast - are a great advert - they are pleasant, engaging and interested in their guests (a couple of mistakes are easily overlooked if the attitude is right). The leader seemed less interested unless the customers were younger - which is hard when there are coach loads of older people staying! The food is pretty ordinary - we had one evening meal when we arrived, which was edible but nothing to write home about. This leads on to the 'niggles' that are so easy to solve. Firstly, the english breakfast advertises 'mushrooms' - but it's only ever half a field mushroom. We found it funny but we overheard others comment too. The cups in our room weren't cleaned twice and I had to go to reception for more tea and coffee as not replaced - these should be on any chambermaid's checklist. The towels often smelt of baby sick - is the closest I can describe. Initially I thought this was a one-off and asked for replacements. They were fine, but then some of the subsequent towels also smelt the same. I think you need to discuss what your laundry uses - as, when you dry yourself off, the wetter they are, the more they smell! (and leaves your body smelling of it too) Finally, don't carry out staff appraisals in the restaurant - I learnt about the staff relationships etc without listening very hard (even with social distanced tables) The rooms are pleasant, the bed was really comfy and it was just the right temperature. There was so much right about the hotel - I am only pointing out things that would elevate the experience. I would definitely stay there again as it was good value and, as I say, a great location.

  Nice Place

  A few weeks late but this was a good value for money break for two nights. I did get charged twice by the booking company and the hotel but when I got through to the hotel I was promptly refunded. The car park at the back is free so don't pay before you check in. We had an upgrade to a harbour view room. Dinner was fine. The breakfast service was a bit hit and miss, we were never offered coffee and did not get it when we asked, however the three staff were clearly working flat out to provide a covid safe service. Strangely you cannot charge breakfast and dinner to your room, wondered if the restaurant is a separate concern, and collecting the payment especially at breakfast is an extra job for the busy staff. Look forward to staying here again in normal times !
