"We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our room.... We were also shown the fire escape so.we didn't have to walk out suitcases through the hotel. The shower was great, the bed comfy... The cafeterias near the coffee machine downstairs were a great idea as the coffee machine wasn't working. Can recommend and will definitely be booking again if we're in Dorchester"

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed in a family room on the first floor which was spacious and clean with a sea view. The furnishing in general was adequate but quite dated. This was reflected throughout the hotel. The bath was rusty which meant we relied on the shower which was good. The balcony door wasn’t secure with a flimsy catch. The radiator although not used was very rusty in need of maintenance. The decoration in the public areas was better in general it felt like the hotel needed a refurb"

"The hotel is in a great location and there was a great view of the sea from the window. The cooked breakfast was excellent but I was a little disappointed that the cost was additional on top of the price for the hotel room. The beds were very comfortable but the bathroom could do with a little upgrading. Overall though, a good experience and the staff were friendly and helpful. A hotel I would return to."
