Top Shipstal Beach Hotel Reviews

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well situated with a beautiful sea view. The staff were excellent & the rooms were clean. The only downside was that our room did not have air conditioning & we stayed on a very hot weekend. Although a fan was provided it made for a very uncomfortable night."

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

8/10 Good

"Evening meal quite dry and bland, no real taste. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. Even though the hotel appeared to be busy the restaurant was spacious and welcoming enough for you not to notice how busy it really was. Overall an excellent experience 👌."

The Merchant House

10/10 Excellent

"David the owner, he’s an amazing, friendly, polite and helpful person . His house was extremely well located to everything. The house very well cleaned, and the breakfast so delicious. I highly recommend"

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."

Shah of Persia, Poole by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"It was exactly what I needed at the time. Place could do with a bit of a refresh and update. Staff were exceptional, really welcoming and helpful."

Anchorage

10/10 Excellent

"The room we had was great for our needs for the long weekend. Easy to access with self check in and out. Loads of info provided about the area for restaurants etc in a book left in the room which was genuinely useful. Jenny was great with providing required info on booking and checking we had that info again before we arrived. We’d definitely stay again if we visit Poole."

Quayside Quarters

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room at the top of 2 flights of stairs. Enough space for the 2 of us and luggage. Clean. Good shower. A good selection of tea &coffee. A payable mini bar. Good shower and the host has some toiletries for use if you’d forgotten anything. The location is great 2 mins walk to bars and restaurants. My advice is read the message from the hotel with the check in details (I didn’t) it a key lock box the code is in the message attachment . Jenny didn’t mind at all that I hadn’t read it and luckily she was close by to help out."

Poole Rockley Park Dorset- Pet Friendly
