Thistle Poole  

Very good location at reasonable rates.

I did not appreciate having to pay for the hotel carpark, if I had known this previously I would have booked elsewhere as it bumped up the price of our stay. Also the bar in the hotel closed early & we were unable to get a late drink.

Excellent location for our event, staff most helpful

Car park charges. Also breakfast over-priced - got excellent sandwiches and orange juice from Tesco Express at a fraction of the cost

Great location on the edge of Poole Quay, close to local old town shops and resteraunts. Freindly reception stafff clean large room with sea view.

What the website does not explain is that you pay £5 per night to use the hotel carpark, bar nore like a conference room little atmosphere, no leisure facilities.

The staff were helpful, but the chef should be shot. because we went into breakfast after the main stream, we were served cold eggs and bacon on cold plates

Our room was at the front of the hotel with a wonderful view over Poole harbour. The design of the room made the most of this, with comfortable seating and a table by the window. The room was bright, fairly spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for two. Breakfast choice was excellent and food of a high standard. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The position of the hotel on the seafront was ideal, with the bustle and interest of Poole Quay just outside the door. Loved it and hope to return for another stay.

We found the waitress Katrina very helpful and full of local knowledge with a happy smile on her face at all times.

Paying for car parking.

Location is excellent and in previous years price has been good value.

Hotel is looking shabby, chairs in dining room broken, some fixings in bathroom. Food orders were incorrect. Manager was dismissive although reception staff were good and wanted to deal with issues.

We stayed for the Christmas holiday and the staff were very welcoming and the food was very good. Our bedroom had a wonderful view of the harbour and was most comfortable with all the things that we needed. The dining room has a wonderful position with a superb view and the staff were first-class.

Nothing at all - apart from having to pay rather a lot to park your car.

I had read previous reviews of the thistle poole and was worried by what I had read...how wrong was I too be worried ..the rooms were clean warm and cosy ..the food was phenominal ...and the staff very friendly ...I can only say good about the thistle hotel and will be returning !!!

Location

For £80.01 room only per night. Room 225 was of a very poor standard and in urgent need of refurbishment.

The location was good

The hotel is looking very tired, the rooms are overdue a refurb, the shower and tv didn't work properly, and no offer of apology was made when reported.

good position & relaxing

The views from the bedroom window were wonderful.

The hotel has deteriorated since we last stayed 2 yrs ago. No net curtains at window, no doors on the wardrobe, chip in the enamel in the bath, black marks on grouting in bathroom. No evening meals available in hotel as weddings taking place in restaurant.
