Rating: 8.05

Vad gäster tycker

Enligt de senaste recensionerna utmärker sig Haven Hotel tack vare sitt oslagbara läge vid stranden, med fantastisk utsikt över hamnen och enkel tillgång till kedjefärjan. Åsikterna går dock isär gällande slitna rum, varierande service och enhetligheten i mat och faciliteter.

Besökare lyfter fram spaanläggningen och poolerna och uppskattar terrasserna, även om tillfälliga avstängningar, kallt vatten, begränsningar i hissen och mekaniskt surrande ibland rapporteras. Rummen varierar från bekväma balkonger till trötta eller väldigt varma rum utan luftkonditionering, med inslag av oljud, besvikelse över utsikten eller underhållsproblem som svaga duschar och problem med toaletten. En vistelse här handlar framför allt om läget.

Where the hotel was situated was lovely with access to the private beach. The staff were a little slow and unattentive. The pool has a bar but for beer you have to walk to other end of the hotel which is very odd. Nice and clean and breakfast i cannot fault, would stay again.

Just a few days away, lovely hotel on a fantastic location. Room was really nice and spacious, the only thing that let it down was the water pressure (or lack of) so having showers was pretty useless. Made use of the pools etc which were heated so even when the weather was not great, managed to get some swim time in. Would definitely go back.

This is an iconic hotel and should be visited. Staff were helpful and usually have a smile for you. Our bedroom was generous and we had a wonderful view of the entrance to Poole harbour with an ever changing vista.The lounges and dining room also share that vista. Only two criticisms - the showers in the spa are dreadful and the evening service in the restaurant is slow. There are some external areas that look a bit tired but when you consider that the owners are planning to demolish the hotel to make way for 196 apartments it is not too surprising.- this would be a travesty and a destruction of Poole/Sandbanks heritage. Make sure you visit before this happens.

great location, but our feeling is its an old tired hotel, we had basic room but was musty smelling and found dirty i had a dirty pillow cases, so had to sleep with one pillow, It was a very hot night, but window only open slightly, so no air, we did find a fan in cupboard, which helped. The beds are not very comfortable. Breakfast is self service, nothing to write home about, but adequate and you can eat outside with great views. Not great value for the money! but hopefully the better sea view rooms are better & cleaner.

The toilet kept blocking up even when not being used.The maintenance guy came twice but as soon as he left it was blocked again.We had to use the ones downstsirs by the lift. The shower had no power at all absolutely useless. The bed had a spring sticking out on the left hand side. Had to ask for the coffee cups to be washed every breakfast. Hotel just neads a bit of T L C Hotel very nice pool etc perfect.

Property had excellent sea views. Our room a deluxe double with sea views was only adequate. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the flush was weak which meant we had to unplug it each time with a plunger. The room and entire hotel was tired and the bathroom in our room defintely requires a refit. The dining room in the evening lacked atmosphere and was cold. No heating was on in the communal areas. The restaurant at the sister Harbour Heights hotel was far superior and had more menu choices.

Rum

Rum med havsutsikt och balkong får starkt beröm, och vissa tycker att sängarna är bekväma. Däremot beskrivs inredningen ofta som föråldrad, en del rum är små eller väldigt varma utan luftkonditionering och några har problem med oljud eller får inte den förväntade utsikten.

It’s a lovely art deco style hotel in a great location. Lovely and light and airy with high ceilings and wide stairways and corridors. Access to a sandy beach and views to Knoll beach and Shell Bay on Purbeck. Right next to the chain ferry which is brilliant and gives you quick easy access to the above and Studland. We had a lovely room but it was on the third floor with no lift access to the third floor and a really long walk to get to it. It was also very hot with no air con. I had to ask for a fan and lighter bedding, which was delivered to the room. The staff were lovely and really helpful. Would recommend a stay here.

We booked a room that was discribed as a Economy Double Room, Courtyard View on your website, When we arrived the room had a view that was a waal a couple of feet away, see photo's. When I politely asked the reception if there was a room that had a courtyard view I was hold I had booked a budget room with no view, after showing them my booking discribing the room I was told this is what I booked. Rather than let it spoil my holiday I said "OK fine" and walked away, only to hear the receptonist who thought I couldn't hear say to her colleague 'What does he expect when he books a budget room'. This I found extremely disrespectful and returned to the reception to say I had heard what she said, the receptionist then got quite aggressive and said 'You have a room that you booked and we're not doing anything to get you another room' I tried not to let this spoil my stay at the Haven Hotel but unfortunately it did

Traditional style hotel with amazing views particularly from our room with a large balcony and views of the harbour and its islands. A hotel which we understand may be gone in a few years making way for a new development which will be a shame but with land prices in this vicinity what else would you expect, polite staff, clean and comfortable room although I’m not a fan of over bath showers but it did its job ! Breakfast very good with plenty to choose from, continental or a full English with everything in between. Would I stay again, yes I would, enough said !

Value for money isn’t great. The rooms were tired and outdated. No view from our room window and no air conditioning so the room becomes an expensive sweat box. They could well do with putting some money back into this hotel as overall it looks tired. The breakfast was okish. Nothing special that you wouldn’t get from a Premier Inn. The views once in the lounge are lovely so I guess this is what you’re paying for. Overall I give it an average score because there was nothing special which for the price was disappointing. Spend some of the profits on the building and it may improve the score.

The hotel is actually quite nice, the restaurant, food and drinks are good and the view is amazing. Just DO NOT stay in the 'dungeon room' as we nicked named it. For those booking with a 3rd party organisation, they automatically put you in the worst room, no natural light except windows that open onto the hotel air conditioning plant which roars all night. They know this is a bad 'dungeon room' and if you book direct with them they automatically offer you a free upgraded room. Very disappointing - this room should be used as a store room NOT A GUEST BEDROOM. Although the room was clean and bed comfortable - think about it - people need to have fresh air and even if it is a view of the carpark it has to be better than a brick wall and air con plant roaring all night long!!!!

We had a balcony room, overlooking the sea and harbour , view and location was excellent, hotel very tired , could be magnificent, and obviously as been in the past , staff very hit and miss, reception staff was lovely, restaurant staff was lacking , was going to have dinner one night in the hotel , so stood waiting to be seated , staff did acknowledge we was there , but kept us waiting that long we ended up eating out , I would understand, if they had been very busy ,but they really wasn’t.i also don’t understand there dress code , very shabby, faded jeans , track suit bottoms t shirts not a very professional look for staff , and that carried through with there lack of service, menu could have been a lot better, Pool and spa staff was lovely , outside drinks bar was added bonus

We booked room a year in advance for Sandpolo. We get there hour early(about 2 pm ish), so get told room not ready yet, said to us have to wait for room to be ready at 3 pm. (My mum and my sister already got their room and they get there about 1 pm!) So it’s fine, we went to bar to have drink waiting for room at 3 pm. Went to check at 3 pm and get told room still not ready! Will be another half hour! And we not happy about it as already told them we need to go to Sandpolo by 4 pm! We need to shower and get change etc. reception told us that we can go to get ready at Spa changing room and nothing she can do about it!!! Seriously we paid nearly £300 per room and she want y us to go shower and get ready for Sandpolo in changing room!! We are really disappointed so much. As hotel us not cheap hotel, but service is very low level! By 3.15 pm, reception still said nothing else she can do! She will asked if cleaner can get room done in 5 min!! ( which is should be like that before 3 pm check in!) So we get room about 3.20 pm! Oh she did offer refund 20% to us but we not ok with that. We need our room to be ready by time!Walked in to room 113, all we smell is worse cleaner armpits!! I know they rushing to clean room but those smell should never let customers experience when stay!! It was really bad and both feel sick in toilet !! Our room had only 2 small top window that can open! So have to hurry get change and leave room! End up with we got no time to shower and get ready proper

The building is dated The evening bar staff were distracted by their mobile phones & their service was appalling. Training needs to be given to make the customer experience better. We did eat an evening meal there-won’t so it again, food wasn’t great, too slow to receive the food (olives and bread took over 20mins to arrive). Charged us a 10% service charge which we weren’t aware of until after we’d paid….as service was poor I asked for it to be refunded. Breakfast staff were friendly very helpful and seemed to be happy to be there.
