Great location
We only stayed for one night but found our room to be clean, and larger than we expected. The corridor outside our room was also larger than a lot of hotel corridors which helped to lessen any noise from other guests. We went to breakfast at 07:30 and there was plenty of available seating, and all breakfast items were available. The hotel is ideally located for Poole town centre, ten minutes walk, and it's close to the Lighthouse theatre. The main bus station is also very close so you can easily get to Bournemouth if needed.

Could have been better
An average booking in experience was improved by a better than average breakfast for a hotel of its type. All front desk staff at check everything seemed too much trouble. However the rest of the staff from the breakfast team to the room maid were pleasant cheerful and efficient. Different staff at check out were efficient and cheerful too

I found it a strange place,the bar/lounge/dining area reminded me of a working men’s club I once went in in Hartlepool back in the eighties. At the Bar they were quite happy to take cash off you but couldn’t give you any change as they didn’t have any. Would I stay at a Holiday Inn again. Definitely Not.

Overpriced and like an 80’s travel lodge. Poor
This was at best a £75 per night hotel. If it was this price, I would say, 3 star and very average, but the fact they charge over double that amount. This vastly underperforms. Issues are- Clunky slow check in Beds were very uncomfortable due too- awful lumpy pillow, rough sheets and winter weight duvet. Air con not working properly and noisy so unable to keep on at night therefore very hot. Right next to noisy rail line so can’t leave Windows open. Hairdryer not working Noisy guests in corridors

Exactly what I would expect from Holiday Inn. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Property is starting to look a bit tired, loose fittings, water ingress evidence, paint patching etc. Basics such as stocked bottled water from the vending machines missing (I know this is a VMI issue) during hot weather. Steam extraction in bathrooms inadequate. Offering of supply of “forgotten” essentials didn’t exist when asked at reception for a face cloth, bit disappointing as this was explicitly listed within the sticker in the bathroom. Lovely stay otherwise.

We visited here with our children and were warmly welcomed. The room was very clean and perfect for a family of four. The en-suite was immaculate, lovely touches like dove body wash, shampoo, hand wash etc. we stayed here for 3 nights and every day the staff came in to change and make the beds and ensured we had enough clean towels every day. The breakfast was a great start to the busy fun days we had. We and our children loved it. So happy we stayed here, better than some expensive hotels we’ve stayed at before. Will definitely stay here again. Staff were all so friendly and couldn’t do any more than they did to ensure we had a brilliant stay. Thank you!! 5 stars 10/10 xx
