Handy for the Quay
This rambling old building is close to the Quay, with its restaurants and boat tours. The bus and railway stations are 10-15 mins walk away. My bathroom had a large washbasin, the option of bath or shower, and constant hot water. Storage space was sufficient and there was a desk and chair. Breakfast was filling. There is a pleasant courtyard beside the building for drinks.

No hot water = no ability to shower
Friendly staff and a reasonably comfortable room but no hot water for our entire stay. Staff told us on arrival but said they were waiting for an plumber. Later we were told they couldnt fix it and as such, no hot water was available. We were unable to have a shower either on arrival after a 6hr drive or the following morning. Extremely disappointed.

Good location, great staff, but rooms average
Good location, just 50m or so from the Quay front, great staff allround, but room was ok, but adequate only, for price charged. Dog friendly, which was critical for us, but £10 surcharge charged.
Lack of hotel parking wasn't too much of an issue as large multistorey within c.400m, but does add any £10 cost to the visit

The property is in an ideal location for Poole Quay. It was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful although not around a lot. The only drawback is having no parking, but we parked for the duration of three days in the Poole Quayside car park which was close by, and were able to pre-book a space. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we'll hopefully make a return visit next year.
