"BEST THING? - THE STAFF"

Yes...the staff that we encountered at this Premier Inn were the best that we have seen in all the similar 'motels' we have stayed. Sara, checking us in, was particularly pleasant - arranging a room to be ready for us as quickly as possible (before the official time). Her sister, when we returned, was just the same. Every team member that we passed-by, on our short two night break, smiled and passed a greeting. Quite exceptional. Our room (36) was on the ground floor, slightly out-dated and needing some redecoration, but very comfortable - with a great bed! Our view was not good (see photo), have heard that some rooms have sea views! Wifi was pretty good and 'included' - a bonus. The bathroom was with a bath tub and powerful shower over. As some other reviews have noted, we could hear movement in the room above during the night. It was somewhat disturbing. We never made a claim under the good night guarantee - maybe we should have done!!

"Sea view"

From check in to check out everything was very good. We were lucky enough to have a view of the bay. The food in the restaurant was better than we experienced at the Goodrington Sands Premier Inn. Would definitely stay again.

"Not the best Premier Inn"

This particular Premier Inn feels dated and well worn. We stayed in a family room (59) on the ground floor and both nights of our two night stay resulted in loud footstep noise from the room above. We spoke to reception about this after the first night who explained they were fully booked and couldn't move us but they offered to refund or breakfast costs, which confused me because i believed we should have received a refund under the good night guarantee. We were late arriving on our first night and had dinner in the attached pub. It was terrible. They seemed under staffed and the food quality was particularly poor although the waitress was great. Service was generally excellent especially friendly Matt at breakfast. Breakfast was probably the poorest Premier Inn breakfast I've had with a small hot buffet station and no bean to coffee machines available but if you ask a team member they will make you a specialist coffee from the machine behind the bar but the hotel is very busy and staff don't seem to have much spare time. In summary we are big fans of Premier Inn and although we wouldn't stay in this branch again we will definitely stay at others.

"Fantastic"

Fab stay. Have stayed at this hotel now for 15 years and been seeing it grow and extended over time. A brill stay with interconnecting rooms for our boys. Booked with meals next t door. Three of which were fab. One was spoiled by a obnoxious male member of staff in the restaurant area. Good job we know this was a one off

"hotel with split personality"

Although the hotel description shows photos of the new style rooms and says in the description "our new rooms", be aware that a number of rooms here are old style and shabby. Towels were thin and grey one day, white and good quality the next, bed creaky and uncomfortable and room far too hot. If you cannot walk far, especially carrying luggage, ask for a room close to reception, otherwise you'll have a long trek to get anywhere and will have to lug cases upstairs. This is a hotel with a split personality, but you'll pay the same price regardless of which room you get. If you have any complaint, don't bother speaking to reception, they may apologise but won't do anything about it. On the plus side, location is good.

Hotel description Come and stay on the edge of the world's second largest natural harbour. Premier Inn Hotel Poole Centre (Holes Bay) puts you in the ideal location for getting out on the water, or just getting out and exploring the South West coast. See if you can spot the red squirrels over on Brownsea Island. Or enjoy the three-mile stretch of golden sands and unspoilt beaches. Marvel at the greenery of Compton Acres, which some say are the finest gardens of Europe. Then enjoy a taste of the deep blue sea with some lovely fresh fish at a Poole harbour restaurant. When you're done, come back to the hotel to our tasty Table Table restaurant next door and our new, modern rooms with extra- comfy kingsize Hypnos beds.
