Lovely view over the harbour even from our budget room! ##### Janice Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located in an amazing location with Poole Harbour to one side and the sea to the other, both accessible from the hotel. The staff are polite and professional. The housekeeping is impressive. Although the building is looking a little tired, the ambience, staff members and service make up for it. Breakfast is as expected with variety on offer to cater to most dietary requirements. The dining/eating area could be made a little more attractive as the layout seems rather formal. However, the friendliness of the staff makes up for this. I’d definitely stay again. ##### Pam Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Thanks Sandbanks Hotel x Lovely welcome Room ready early Clean Stunning view and location Great terrace and pizza bar Comfy too Very impressed !! ![View from our room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/62b49cd0-1f91-4e5e-8853-f55413ae0afa-1747587643648.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from our room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7dd5f9e1-4bec-4057-b217-4ab4012d7e06-1747587642138.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Wonderful terrace bar and pizza! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b4631c57-5147-4152-8774-b6fb622e488f-1747587643714.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the terrace ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8296184f-0edf-40d3-a9e9-ee2a50170951-1747587643922.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely relaxing stay.

View from the room was beautiful. We had a sea view and could see the sun rise from our bed. Breakfast in the restaurant was very nice with plenty of choice. We used the restaurant in the hotel which was an Italian. Although a little pricey, it was very nice. Room was cleaned daily and tea/coffee and biscuits replenished daily. We didn’t use the pool as it opened at 9:00 and we wanted an earlier swim. We were offered use of their sister hotel but didn’t use that. Not far from attractions such as Compton Acres and Poole Harbour for the ferry to Brownsea. All staff were friendly. I’d highly recommend and would definitely visit again. ##### Linda Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### The superb Sandbank's Hotel We had a lovely couple of days at the Sandbanks Hotel. The room was a little tired but we had a beautiful view overlooking the seafront . The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything that we needed. Breakfast was really nice and plentiful with excellent choices. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again. ##### Monica Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lena Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We visited Sandbanks hotel for the 1st time and I can honestly say the front of house was very welcoming. The staff very helpful & provided some recommendations for local bars & restaurants. We booked the large sea view double rooms , these are located on the 1st & 2nd with a full frontal view of the sea . The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. Great location , great for couples & family . Will definitely recommend and will re visit . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51811019-92bb-47f4-bd96-3e00406554fe-1750012950672.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98dac0a8-76df-47bd-ab8a-3dad99817f29-1750012948921.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fb729b3c-1fd8-422c-9927-07cdd99efb51-1750012948838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lena Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great location with great staff, but could do with a refit, it felt very 70’s/80’s ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nigel Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing Hotel Lovely hotel very relaxed and close to restaurants etc ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Yes this hotel is a bit dated but we didn’t care about that. The staff were all lovely, the location is fabulous and the food was excellent. We would 100% stay again. One tiny criticism, the bins on the outside terrace were overflowing and seagulls were fighting over the pizza scraps. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cff4cfd2-c1e8-46a3-8f0d-196d9b1143bf-1749738111731.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eran Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My stay in Sandbanks Lovely service.

The only real issue I had that put a dampener on the stay was when I first went into the room it absolutely stunk of s\*\*t really bad. I can only put it down to one of the cleaners using the toilet after cleaning the room and not having the curtisy of opening the windows before leaving. I had to open the windows wide and spray the room and leave for 10 minutes. Not expected for such a nice hotel and paying good money for a stay. ##### Graeme Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Location! This hotel is in a fantastic location, we had a lovely room with a huge balcony overlooking the beach. Unfortunately it’s a bit tired. Furnishings are past their best and water pressure in the bathroom is terrible.
