Top Dorset Hotel Reviews

Best Western Weymouth Hotel Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are friendly and helpfull lovley clean hotel food is great and the rooms ar cosey and i slept like a log"

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late at the Sleeping Bear Hotel and the self check-in was incredibly easy and smooth. We simply pressed the green button by the door and followed the instructions. Walking through the hallway, staircase and lovely sitting/living room area with my daughter, we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and cosy everything looked. There were lots of comfortable sofas with cushions, making it feel just like home, and we loved that we could make coffee from the machine whenever we wanted. Our room was very clean and cosy, and the mattress was unbelievably comfortable and soft. At check-out, the two lovely ladies at reception even found me a takeaway cup so I could take my coffee with me. A truly wonderful stay — I will definitely be coming back!"

The Jubilee Hotel West- with Spa Facilities

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in a great location, room was more than adequate for our needs, just a couple minor faults in bathroom, a damp smell & shower head holder needed replacing as didn’t keep head in place, all the staff were excellent but a special shout out to Charlie who checked us in & was so cheerful & full of useful information about Weymouth to make our break even more enjoyable, he’s a huge asset to your hotel."
