Top Poole Hotel Reviews

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Couldn’t fault the staff or amenities had a lovely week there , views beautiful."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a family room on the first floor which was spacious and clean with a sea view. The furnishing in general was adequate but quite dated. This was reflected throughout the hotel. The bath was rusty which meant we relied on the shower which was good. The balcony door wasn’t secure with a flimsy catch. The radiator although not used was very rusty in need of maintenance. The decoration in the public areas was better in general it felt like the hotel needed a refurb"

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG
