Sandbanks Hotel

Room excellent ….. sea view with balcony ….. worth the extra for the view. Breakfast …. Good …..would have been nice to have tea and coffee served to table. And would benefit from having trays to collect your buffet. Location …… excellent … right on the miles of beach.

The breakfast hot servers don’t match the ‘quality ’. Hotel more like a travel lodge breakfast. Cold food that looked wasted! No international options of meats cheese …. Could have been much better. Staff excellent one feels they almost knew the breakfast was not up to much! The management need to take z hard look at breakfast experience!

The location, right on the beach. Our room was very spacious and light, even though it was labelled economy.

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.

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.
