Hotels With Gym in Dorset, United Kingdom

"I need to give a huge shout out to every reception staff member as every single one has been incredibly kind and friendly as soon as we entered the building! When asking questions, every single staff member gave a detailed answer to the point where I wouldn't even have to ask again or ask any further questions! Our room didn't have any AC and our room was very warm even with a fan provided. The bathroom.door was very squeaky too and you had to give quite a nudge when trying to close it or open it. But despite these, the staff member made up for it, we both enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Bournemouth!"

"We had a 3 day stay at the Harbour Hotel in Christchurch. We ate dinner there twice - once at ”The Upper Deck” and once at ”The Jetty”. Both meals were excellent: we had lovely tables, the food was great and the service made us feel special. The experience at breakfast was the same, with attentive service from all the staff and great food served on the open veranda. Although we were using the hotel as a base for our walks around the area, we also used the spa which was well maintained and had all the facilities you could want. We did have an issue with our assigned room which was not as ordered from Trip.com. Although the reception team reconfirmed they had allocated the room accurately based on what Trip.com had ordered for us, the Cherry the reception manager took it on herself to compensate us for the mismatch. From start to finish the service at The Harbour was outstanding. All the staff that served us in reception, the bar, the restaurants and the spa were helpful, efficient and friendly. Although our room was smaller than we'd ordered, it was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. All in all, this was one of the nicest hotels we've stayed in, this in no small part due to the professionalism and caring attitude of the staff team. We will return ! "

"Booked 2 nights, fantastic friendly front of house staff. Manager was welcoming and knowledgeable on local dry cleaning and local parking. Room was spacious and clean with a balcony upgrade overlooking the gardens and sea view. Briefly saw the in-house entertainment and was being enjoyed by the people there. We snuck off to the lounge for a couple of drinks and a few bar games and was comfortable and peaceful. Entertainment guide print out was a lovely touch. Only criticism would be no plugs by the bed for chargers but charging across the room was no problem and maybe a menu for dining in the room but nit picking tbh. Will be visiting again later in the year and will 100% look to book here again. I'd recommend"

"I recently stayed at this hotel for my holiday and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. The hotel location was perfect, close to the beach and local attractions. I especially enjoyed the food at the restaurant and the relaxing swimming pool area. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the holiday very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Amazing hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent food. The location was perfect for our holiday, and the service was outstanding. I would happily stay here again."

"Facilities: A bit old. The room decor was decent, but the whole hotel felt dated, and the floors creaked. Cleanliness: Okay. The bedding had some black marks. Ambiance: The sea view room was beautiful with three large windows and high ceilings. I was told this room had the best sea view, but it was located above the restaurant, so there was some restaurant music noise. Service: The hotel was quite busy. We had to queue for breakfast, and there was a long wait for check-in and at the front desk. Initially, I asked front desk agent A twice, but the room wasn't ready. Another front desk agent, B, was much nicer and gave us two bar drink vouchers because we had waited so long. Location: Very close to the beach, about a 5-minute walk. There are stairs down and a cliff lift, but the lift costs a few pounds per ride – I can't quite remember the exact price. Restaurant: It's a French restaurant. The escargots were delicious, and the view was great."

"This was our second visit to this hotel, we have unfortunately had the same experience twice. The hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. Rooms are lovely, Beds are huge and extremely comfy. Fluffy, luxury towels. The Pool area and pool are lovely, feel like you are abroad on a hot day. Although it is a fight for a Sun lounger. However it’s completely let down by the staff. The bar staffs attitude was appalling, it was an inconvenience for them to get our drinks each time. We had a Roast dinner at Old Harry Rocks - staff were much better in there and v accommodating, although I do believe this this a separate company to the hotel and it shows. Beef was tough in parts but still nice. Pork was lovely. On booking, breakfast is charged at £22 at but in the hotel it’s £15 so don’t fall into that trap. The staff had no idea what they were doing. They first couldn’t get our drinks order right, then they messed up our simple breakfast order. Some of us nearly finishing our breakfast before others even got their meal. The breakfast itself was very small, we were also only given half a mushroom?? For £22/£15 I would at least expect to have a whole Mushroom… They then didn’t know how to use the card machine..  Before we left we used the Spa, small but nice. Sauna was closed & pool was freezing. Hot Tub also wasn’t very warm.  Overall it was not a great experience, we will not be returning. To pay £260 minimum for a room for extremely poor service is criminal."

"We were upgraded to a see view at an extra cost. It was good to see the sea. The twins beds were large and comfy. The shower was great also. The layout of both bedroom and bathroom was functional and comfortable."

"We had a wonderful stay at Hilton Bournemouth with my wife and our two children. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The hotel was clean, modern, and comfortable, and our room was spacious enough for our family. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choices for both adults and children. The location was perfect, making it easy to enjoy Bournemouth and the beach. A very special thank you to the Operations Manager, who was incredibly supportive, kind, and professional throughout our stay. We would also like to thank the entire Front Office team for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. They truly made our family feel valued and cared for. We had a fantastic experience and would happily return. Highly recommended!"

"We specifically booked this hotel for our anniversary and they decorated the bed with petals which was a nice touch. The hotel itself was very nice but the rooms were a bit outdated and the toilet was dirty. There were quite a few downsides which did ruin our short stay. We booked this hotel specifically for the spa facilities mainly the jacuzzi pool but this was out of order before we got there and we were not informed of this otherwise we would’ve booked elsewhere and it wasn’t fixed for our entire stay. Swimming pool was decent but not the cleanest as i felt dirt on pool floor. On our last night we ran out of water and my wife is pregnant so i went to the night porter and asked for a bottle of water which they provide complimentary daily but he said he couldn't give me one and he could sell one from the bar, which i found ridiculous. The room didnt have a fridge so we couldnt buy any water and keep it cool. Parking was £10 a day which I believe should be included in the stay. Hotel staff were friendly other than that but I would probably look elsewhere next time. For the price we paid I did expect a lot more from the hotel."

"Very average room, very tired looking. Room had an odd smell which I think was the plug in smelly things, wondered if it was masking another smell. 😬. Parking on found a space straight away at the front of the building, I think there were more spaces at the back ( unsure). The room was only for one night. One good point ….Only a few minutes walk to the beach."
