- Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The buffet restaurant for £25 was poor. We tried everything but only thing that was nice was fish n chips, deserts poor. Don’t waste your money on the buffet. The Italian restaurant however was fantastic! Rooms on the sea view side were amazing views. It’s nice to find a hotel where we can have 5 staying. We always are normally made to have 2 rooms for our family of 2 adults and 3 children! Kids made use of the small pool which they loved.

An excellent location in stunning surroundings, and our room had the most beautiful view. Rather felt they were trying to take money off us from the moment we arrived. £30 parking (£10 per day) required on arrival ( this should be inclusive for guests at circa £150 per night and very quiet car park). Bar restaurant on previous visits had quite a good menu, but this time was limited to pizzas and only before 6pm on Mondays, meaning the only option was the vastly overpriced and underwhelming buffet (£25/per head) in restaurant - other guests ordering takeaway pizzas to eat in bar (looked bad but wish we’d done the same). £9 for glass of house wine was extortionate. Meal in Italian restaurant was ok but room was very cold and when asked if we could be seated nearer the fire was told it is the temperature of the room and there was nothing they could do. Bedroom looked tired, sinks missing plugs, bath plug didn’t drain properly and shower head could not be angled as it was faulty. Spare third bed for child incredibly soft and springs could be felt through the mattress. Also no fridge in room, suggesting any thoughts of buying drinks at a reasonable price elsewhere and having it in the room is curtailed, forcing you to accept the extortionate prices in the bar. This was our third visit to FJB hotels and second to Sandbanks - rather feel they are letting standards slip, unlikely to return next year which is a pity.

The hotel interior is slightly tired and a bit dated but everything there is clean and functional and we had a lovely stay there. Would happily recommend and would go back.

Generally the Hotel was a big disappointment, the area for the Italian food was uninspiring no atmosphere , dining room was more like a factory canteen. The cooked breakfast was cold and very poor so much so we did not eat it, we reported it to the staff at the Reception but that seemed to fall on deaf ears. Would definitely not go there again nor recommend it.
