Holiday Inn Express Poole  

Comfort, bar food

I think your receptionist (one with short blonde hair) should learn to smile when greeting visitors! Not once did she smile on booking in, although I did get a smile later when I spoke. I am a great believer in "first impressions"

Breakfast was good surprised how good value the rooms were for the rate will stay again

Lift was out of order one night and the staff member behind reception was not at all helpfull just said nothing I can do this does not help when you cant mangae the stairs

We loved it was a very nice hotel clean room,and we could go shopping and visit friends and the beach is near so it has everything you could want will go there again

The location is very central, the staff efficient, the room and en suite very clean. I think the breakfast selection is much more than continental

The quilt on the bed was barely large enough to reach to the edges of the bed and was thin, without weight or warmth. In my opinion and that of my partner, this was a summer quilt and whilst perhaps suitable for some guests, it was far too lightweight and small for us. It was a chilly, unpleasant night which could easily have been different if there had been a more substantial winter quilt or additional bedding available A couple more t-bags could also be left

Have stayed there before. Very good value including an excellent breakfast, comfortable room, wifi and also really close to relatives. For shopping it's also great as it's only 5 minutes walk to Poole Shopping Precinct and Dolphin Mall.

A bit worried about the security of parking behind the hotel. How good is the cctv monitoring? No evidence for this really, just a bit nervous as a number of youths pass the hotel on the way to their Flats and trhe beach areas.

Good location, free carparking, clean and tidy , good helpful staff

Convenience for visiting family living near Poole at a reasonable price.

We booked Holiday Inn for a night as we were helping our daughter to relocate for her job. As such we didn't have a lot of time to look around. However reading other reviews and the price and location guided our choice. We were very happy with everything. The rooms were lovely, comfy, warm and clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast offered plenty of choice. We were in fact surprised to see warm food as we thought we would get a 'continental breakfast'. The location is perfect to shop from or take a walk around and enjoy the scenery. Would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Fantastic location - very clean and welcoming. Loved the shower - best I've seen in hotels like these. Wonderful also to see TV come equipped with subtitles! However the main TV in lounge didn't and I had to ask someone to put it on.

Location for restaurants and shopping is excellent we have visited several times before and is always excellent value for money

They have just introduced hot breakfast which is excellent idea but they seem to have problems keeping up with demand on both mornings we had to wait for the hot buffet to be replenished

Convenient & good value for money - clean room & good staff.

Holiday Inn beds are not very comfortable at all.
