Hotel The Kings Harbour Hotel

18 Castle Street, Christchurch, BH23 1DT, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for The Kings Harbour Hotel – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Breakfast was lovely as were the morning staff. Parking was good too although I'm not sure it had enough spaces for all rooms. Locations was great as it was next to the celebration room

Michael, United Kingdom

Room was a very small attic room with a sloping ceiling. I banged my head on it, cut my head and left a bloodstain! However, can't really complain, as it was the cheapest room, and only for 1 night

Richard, United Kingdom

Fantastic location, walk everywhere, lots nearby harbour, water taxi, Hengistbury head, fantastic restaurants etc Great cocktails and bar

Tracy, United Kingdom

Attentive & helpful staff. Good food. Lovely room.

Derek, United Kingdom

everything put the guest first, the facilities had been thoughtfully planned

Barbara, United Kingdom

The room was lovely, comfy & luxurious, hotel excellent, wonderful service from all the staff, who were so caring, warm and helpful. It had a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely stay again. Food was beautiful and cooked to perfection.

Crystalline, United Kingdom

The hotel is really lovely, great location, wonderful bar and restaurant and the rooms are very well appointed. The staff are great and even organised to send me my phone charger as I'd left it behind in my room. The breakfast selection is wonderful with everything you could want from the full English, to a wide selection of breads and pastries, fruits and juices, plus other breakfast items should you not want as much as a full breakfast.

Kellie, United Kingdom

We stayed over New Year - the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was quiet, large and very comfortable and the restaurant excellent. The New Year's Eve dinner was brilliant!

David, United Kingdom

The traditional English breakfast was very good. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful.

Nigel, United Kingdom

Nice room with lovely ensuite, comfortable bed, helpful and friendly staff especially in the restaurant.

“Lovely location but if you want to have a decent evening then venture elsewhere.”
- • Leisure trip

- On arrival we had difficulty finding reception. On asking a member of staff he thought we were asking for the toilets!! We eventually found reception in a small cupboard. - We were supposed to have discounted accommodation as we were there for the wedding celebration they were providing. - The wedding buffet was horrendous. Not only was it delayed extremely long but the quality, quantity, and selection was pathetic. We had to venture out to obtain a 'take-away' since the amount remaining after most indulged was negligible. - The bar was closed far too early,even for hotel guests. We were refused a drink just after 22:30 on a Sunday. This is supposed to be a hotel not a local shop. - There was no bar menu available as far as we could tell. We were informed that this was not available even though there was a supposed to be room service availability. - The bar staff were not the most professional. Conveniently when asking for a glass of red wine at £6 per glass, we were informed the only red available was £7. Fair enough, they had run out of that wine. However, the next glass escalated to £8 as they had also run out of the £7 a glass red, the last glass was ........you've guessed it £9! which was corked and promptly returned to the bar for a replacement. How a hotel can run out of so many wines in such little time is unfathomable.
Breakfast was lovely as were the morning staff. Parking was good too although I'm not sure it had enough spaces for all rooms. Locations was great as it was next to the celebration room

The place was absolutely boiling!!! We turned all radiators off and opened the windows and the heat was still coming through the walls and from the hallways. It was horrible. The shower was also on a raised platform and my head touched the ceiling when showering!! I'm only 6ft so not too tall. Also the staff in the bar in the evening were rude.
Lovely room decor, breakfast was great and the waiter in breakfast was fantastic!

the restaurant needs a good overhaul and tidy up . the furnature is dated and frayed. At breakfast there was food on the floor from the previous night. The wait was far too long eg we booked dinner for 8 and got served at 9. Breakfast on our last morning was a long wait again, it was fortunate that we were not in hurry. the cocktail bar has gone backwards esp the happyhour service.A different menu for the happy hour ????
The accomomodation was good and spacious.
