"Room for improvement"

Tend to use this hotel as a base whenever we come down here and after the covid outbreak this hotel has gone downhill. There is plenty of room for improvement. Did wonder if our trip was doomed the moment we checked in. Our key wouldn't work. The receptionist changed it for another one and that wouldn't work either. In the end we were given the master key. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and then only with pre-booked time slots. For the first couple of mornings we had a 09.45 booking. By the time our food arrived it was closer to 10.15. Breakfast is now brought to your table. In fairness, once the food did arrive it was cooked perfectly. The hot water machine for the tea was out of order for the whole duration of our stay, how long does it take to get an electrician in? If you wanted hot water they would being that to the table as well, although on the third and fourth days they ran out of teapots. We were given a half cup of hot water meant to make tea for two? Understandably the cleaners only come into the room when you check out. Personally I don't have a problem with this, if you run out of tea, coffee or milk you just get more from reception and I am perfectly capable of making my own bed in the mornings. No, my problem is the fact that Premier Inn are not providing the level of service they used to but are still charging full whack.

"Pleasant stay"

Stayed at the premier inn Poole north Which was a little further out but still not far to Poole and surrounds in the car. Pleasant room although we were there back hol weekend in a ground floor room and there were lots of families with children (waking up very early) so if it’s school hols and you don’t want disturbing make a request! Stayed 4 nights without any room cleaning which was tough but just necessary at the moment and any housekeepers or the desk staff would supply loo rolls or tea/coffee etc. Didn’t eat there but breakfast was quite hard to get table booked due to time of year so again, if you’re going busy period book breakfast when you book room. Overall nice room, nice staff and some disruption from other guests expected due to time of year.

"Short 4 day break"

A short 4 day break at Poole North last week was a different experience during the restrictions due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The hotel is in a great but industrial location for all amenities around the Poole Dorset area. The experience was somewhat different to normal in as much that we had to wear masks in public areas .The room was not cleaned during the stay but could have been if we chose. Clean towels and extra pillows were available at reception .The all you can eat breakfast had to be ordered and delivered to the table. The restaurant in the evening was closed although you could order a umber of dishes to collect to eat in your room. The Table Table down the road was however open! However that did not spoil our enjoyment. The only time we did not need to wear the mask was when we went to cook our toast or fill our coffee cups. I found this rather strange as as we walked to that area other guests where being shown to their tables wearing masks and we passed within a 1 metre space. Not sure why we did not have to keep our masks on unless seated at the table ? Staff were friendly and efficient and a shout out to Debbie who waited at our table is due. Also Mark at the reception desk on our arrival was pleasant, helpful and polite. The Hotel was very busy and parking was an issue if you went out in the evening for food etc. and tried to return later. It was rammed! We gathered that this might be due tot he fact that the Premier Inn at Holes Bay was closed for a few days and guest were diverted to this one. Overall a pleasant stay and a good value for money break as usual from Premier inn.

"Staycation"

Cannot fault the hygiene standards at all, everywhere was spotless, but! ... The bed had a terrible creak and not comfortable like previous premier inn stays. There was no restaurant open at night, which meant we had to drive into town. I would have liked to have been told on website of the closure as this would have affected our decision to stay there. They did have a 'take away' menu available from 6-9pm, everything took 10minutes to cook, so assumed these were microwave meals. Did witness one resident return theirs as unsatisfactory. Staff, although friendly, a couple of them were rather scruffy in their appearance. Bar area was quite small,but social distance was adhered to, some people walked through into the restaurant area to sit and have their drinks. Won't be rushing back! expensive stay for what was offered.

Hotel description Would you choose the magic of a working quay, or the hustle and bustle of a large seaside town? Choose both, and stay at the Premier Inn Hotel Poole North. Poole Quay and Bournemouth are both nearby, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, and all the beauty of the Dorset coastline. Start the morning with a splash and go for a dip or a surf lesson. Or splash out on something special in the boutiques of Bournemouth. See the red squirrels on Brownsea Island, or the Red Arrows if you're here for Bournemouth Air Festival. Speaking of festivals, the Great Dorset Steam Fair is a must for all heritage fans too. Back at the hotel you'll find mouth-watering food at our restaurant, and a lovely comfy bed.
