We recently stayed at the hotel for two nights as we wanted to visit friends in Poole. The hotel is in a business district, so not much to see and do in the vicinity except for the Dolphin Shopping Centre which is within walking distance from the hotel and offers all the normal shops etc you may need. It is... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, Poole with our two young children for one night prior to a trip to the Channel Islands. Usually we stay in smaller, independent hotels, and prefer places with character in a rural setting. The Holiday Inn Express at Poole was a pleasant surprise, good parking, a spacious reception area, modern and fresh decor... More

I have booked the hotel for the one night, about one week before arrival. The price was a bit high. The room was basic, nothing fancy, the matress was too hard but the pillows were ok. The room was very clean and the bathroom a bit smaller then other hotels but acceptable. We did like the food in the restaurant... More

If you were sleeping over somewhere the three main things you would expect to be good are the Bed, Breakfast and Bathroom! The hotel delivers these to a perfect standard.

Just spent one night here before an early sailing from Poole the following morning. The Hotel is easy to find and is only 5 minutes from the ferry port.

I spent only one night at this hotel, which is located a 10-15 minute walk from the town centre. The hotel is cheap and cheerful: do not expect luxury, but rather functionality. The room was adequate for my purposes, but lacks any frills. My major complaint was the bed: it was fantastically uncomfortable. In case anyone from the hotel reads... More
