Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Waiter /waitress were overall unfriendly. They look liked being unhappy to be working in this hotel. Breakfast room was dirty especially plinth along windows. The overall state of the hotel including furnishing, fabric and furniture looked dated.

The inside of the hotel was lovely but it looked tired on the outside. Our room was great but was let down by the bathroom. I understand the hotel is closing in October until May so maybe some improvements are being made. That said staff were delightful and location is perfect

Perfect Break
Had a fabulous stay, the staff and facilities were awesome and whilst not the most luxurious the location and service were faultless! We will definitely return! The free upgrade and card/chocolates were appreciated adding to what can only be described as a perfect break!!

The Sandbanks Hotel’s location is fantastic, on a wonderful beach. We stayed in a balcony harbour view room which was very clean but very dated. The room was large and the balcony was fine. I understand some rooms have been refurbished but our room, 236 had not. Breakfast was tasty and all of the employees were welcoming and friendly.
