Best Hotels near JD Sports, Poole

Visited in December for 2 nights for nye the room size is ok with a sofa bed for my 8 years old son to sleep at night and option to fold it for space during the day. All the staff at the main reception were good specially the Indian guy at the main reception with great smile was very welcoming and the the Indian girl was also welcoming both served served till about 10 pm New Year’s Eve and New Years day. The best role played was the young boy from house keeping, he was very pleasant and caring. The hotel food was very disappointing! all the food we had looked like frozen/packed food. I will be back this summer but will eat outside.

Our coach holiday at the Royal Bath in Bournemouth was terrific value for money. The location is excellent with the beach, Bournemouth gardens, and the Pavilion theatre all minutes away on foot. Our rooms were spacious and appeared to have been recently refurbished. There is free wifi in the common areas and kettle and cups, ironing facilities and a fan are provided in the rooms. The common areas are comfortable and the food is self service. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive. The hotel is an old lady and not without it's flaws so if you are used to luxury then you may wish to pay extra money elsewhere for your indulgence. We were looking for a comfortable hotel in a great location and were very happy with our stay at the Royal Bath.

Stayed 3 nights this hotel is dated the room we had definitely needed a lot of redecorating. But in saying that it seemed clean and was comfortable although they only had very firm pillows. I guess I could of asked for softer but I didn’t. Entertainment was provided an Irish music weekend which we didn’t attend but the hotel was full of guests who did. It sounded ok from our room, but not enough to disturb sleep. Now the food, we ate the dinner on our first night and although I found it ok my other is a vegetarian and the choice was only veg curry which didn’t look that appealing. However for me plenty of food, not the greatest but for a budget hotel they know their customer base and was tasty. A Buffett is provided which included salad, meat and fish. A little pricey and felt as my other half was disappointed not value for money again we didn’t complain as I had enough to eat and really should of read menu first. Breakfast was another thing I felt for a budget hotel was more than ok. A Buffett again of cooked and cereal/porridge. The cooked was good and although you can tell it is all prepared from catering packs no real cooking was done it was very tasty and filling. You can’t ever really do a bad breakfast. We ate in the bar on last night and felt that was value for money. Location was good 30 minutes walk to Bournemouth close to boscombe nice walk through park. Other reviews have mentioned trouble and homeless people staying there, please remember Brittainia Hotels do have a government contract for this but I never noticed or saw any trouble.whilst there. Staff were very friendly the guy in charge of restaurant service was very friendly and helpful. Reception staff were great as were bar and restaurant staff. They put the queens funeral on tv in bar and was watched by about 12 people which was a nice touch good to watch with other people. Swimming pool was ok and the water was warm and clean. Al in all not an outstanding stay but for the price not bad. Would I go again yes but now I know the expectations they do lots of entertainment weekends and they seem to know their clientele and aim their service at that.

… no normal coffee - only decaf. We stayed here after getting married earlier in the day. Spoke to Sarah a year before our stay and she was so helpful. 6 rooms booked. No deposit required. We stayed in one of the superior rooms with the copper bath. Room was beautiful. I love a coffee late in the evening and first thing in the morning. Unfortunately the tray hadn’t been stocked up and we only had decaf. My wife - sounds weird saying it now - had a bath in the copper bath in the morning and thank goodness she didn’t have it before bed. The tap didn’t stop dripping. We’d have had that all night. Unfortunately as lovely as a 4 poster is when a post blocks the tv it’s annoying. Neither of us had a clear view. But we weren’t there to watch tv. It was just nice to chill for a bit. These are just small *******. The room really was lovely.

The hotel is situated just off the main Dorchester to Swanage road and has a good sized car park. Despite the road being busy in the day time it was quiet a night and there wasn't much road noise in the bedroom even with the window open. It has lovely village location within an easy walk to other pubs, Corfe Castle and a bus stop a couple of hundred yards away. We used the bus to travel to Swanage then walked the coastal path via Old Harry Rocks to Shell Beach and then took the ferry to Sandbanks, walked along the beach then boarded the bus back to Swanage on Sandbanks. Travelling then back to Corfe Castle on the Steam Train. A great day out. The buses are currently operating a £2 fare. We travelled by car in the other direction to do a circular walk around the Durdle Door area and White Nothe- parking is pricey here £12 for the day. Check-in at the hotel was welcoming and we were shown to our room and assisted with luggage. The room (a Terrace View) was quite cosy. Very clean and well presented . The two chairs in the room were not very comfortable - they were very upright and basic. Towels were good quality. The bathroom had a shower/sink and toilet. It could have done with a shelf in addition to the wall mounted narrow depth mirror/cupboard. to put a make up bag etc on. The mattress was not to our liking at all despite it having a topper on it. It was extremely soft and 'saggy'. If you laid close to the edge you rolled off onto the wooden bedframe and there is a hollow in the mattress in the middle - your legs were higher than the rest of your body and we aren't oversize people. For the price of the room rate we expected a larger room with a better quality bed and chairs. The terrace is lovely although the wasps are very troublesome. We enjoyed a few drinks late afternoon here. The lounges and public areas of the the hotel are very clean and well presented. Mortons Manor has a lovely history to it too. Dinner in the hotel was great- for a small hotel it offered a good choice but the menu didn't appear to change throughout the three nights we were there. We ate there once. Service was excellent - they describe it as fine dining - the food is excellent and well presented however the glassware for the wine was poor quality - the glass was quite thick and not 'fine' quality glasses . The red and white were served in the same style of glass. Breakfasts offered a reasonable choice - not vast but was fine. The toast however was very dry. The Pork and Leek sausages were quite spicy. Service again was excellent. On check-out we were not asked if everything had been to our satisfaction or had we enjoyed our stay...are they becoming complacent?

Was really nervous about going here. As I stupidly booked then checked the reviews. When I read the reviews I was horrified. But all my son and myself wanted was somewhere to sleep and shower as we were there for the air show. Managed to get parked easily. Paid and then went back at 4pm to check in. Gentleman who checked us in was very polite and helpful and even got us two fans even though really it’s one per room. Was quite surprised how good the room was really considering all the negative reviews. It was clean, lovely clean white bedding and towels. And a kettle that was spotless inside. Yes it could of done with a little bit of a spruce up but it wasn’t that bad. Lucky we had a room out the front so view wasn’t to bad , but out the back wasn’t nice. Only complaint was fire alarm going of at 3am in the morning for about 20 seconds a couple of times. Then Thursday went of around tea time and this time everyone evacuated only to be told it’s a false alarm. But it was nice to see the staff doing their job a guiding everyone as to where they should go. I would definitely stay here again if I want cheap accommodation near the beach.

Love this quirky hotel! Very reasonably priced, every room we’ve seen is spacious and welcoming. Overall standard of cleanliness is not perfect but acceptable, bedding and bathrooms always clean and fresh. Good location but at the top of quite a steep hill so a free workout if choosing to walk from town! Staff friendly and accommodating.

We attended a funeral in the area and the wake/ reception was held at this hotel. As we traveled from Sheffield we decided to stay the night at the hotel. The staff at the hotel are excellent and the rooms are of a good standard. We booked two rooms 1 Classic double and 1 Comfort double both rooms are good with the comfort being slightly smaller but still of a good size. All rooms had coffee and tea making facilities and the rooms also had a decent Wi-fi signal. We booked for the buffet breakfast and that was excellent. We had no complaints at all.
