Location of the hotel is excellent, bang in the center of Sandbanks and ideally located for traveling out and visiting other locations. The hotel is quite old now, it has a touch of the faded seaside glamour about it, and I get the impression it has not bounced back from the pandemic to its former glories. That said, it is large, airy, comfortable, and we could not fault cleanliness and the facilities given the age of the place. We understand there is some doubt over its future and that of several other hotels in Sandbanks as a "top notch" redevelopment is planned. That in a way would be a shame as it would price most people out of the market, and this is still a great hotel for stay at as it is. It could probably do with a total refit to compete with "top class" establishments, but if you just want a comfortable few days (or longer) at a fab beach resort with lots to see locally, with a decent little Italian restaurant on site, a decent breakfast bar and good service, sizeable rooms with comfy beds and a balcony with fab views to front and back, then this is the place for you. I would not hesitate to recommend. It took me back to holidays of my youth with parents, no bad thing at all.

I loved that you could order fresh cooked [perfectly cooked ]poached eggs .my husband was little disappointed with with sausages on this visit as they had very little taste no spices or herbs added We ate twice in the evening in the restaurant was brilliant could not fault food nor service the room 223 was fabulous would have liked to have rebooked same room only it is unavailable for our September visit 😔 we have booked similar room again never yet been disappointed the taff are friendly helpful and curtious in all areas. If only you could order the sun to shine doe our stay please 😂 the hotel looking very smart now and we look forward to our next stay in September this year 😊.

Hotel staff were amazing, checked in then found there were several levels to the corridor with lots of steps. My elderly parents weren't able to negotiate the steps, being in their eighties. The young Spanish lady at reception immediately changed the room and upgraded at the same time. We were so grateful that they had a level walk everywhere. A great location and lovely comfortable set of rooms for both of us. My parents had the best time on our weekend break, and we all enjoyed the breakfast menu. Thank you so much.

The hotel position is exemplary, the hotel is tired yet spotless and the bedroom was incredibly comfortable. The included buffet breakfast was very decent. 10/10 to the staff - everyone we met from the initial phone call to find out about parking, to the reception desk receiving us, and chambermaids cleaning rooms and breakfast service staff (and chefs!). These people made the hotel sing.

The choice of breakfast was amazing, if you wanted a special breakfast it was done with a smile.. The young staff were helpful, confident and dealt with the public in a very mature experienced way. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The kitchen staff served an amazing choice of breakfasts, hot, non greasy, tasty and presented beautifully. I cannot fault the dining room staff.
