10/10 Excellent

Yes this hotel is a bit dated but we didn’t care about that. The staff were all lovely, the location is fabulous and the food was excellent. We would 100% stay again. One tiny criticism, the bins on the outside terrace were overflowing and seagulls were fighting over the pizza scraps.

The superb Sandbank's Hotel

We had a lovely couple of days at the Sandbanks Hotel. The room was a little tired but we had a beautiful view overlooking the seafront . The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything that we needed. Breakfast was really nice and plentiful with excellent choices. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Monica, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location with great staff, but could do with a refit, it felt very 70’s/80’s
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely view of the beach from our room.
Jane, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Couple no children July Always wanted to stay here , easy parking on the beach . Initial impression was of a Tired Hotel that lacks identity … great shame ias it has a fantastic location … our room had a great sea view balcony but with a children’s playground directly below ! The room was clean but had a dated feel. The restaurant had great views but the food was basic . My partner and I went for a marvellous swim in the morning across golden sand and we ate a good buffet breakfast with a fabulous sea view although obscured by a big wooden shed ! So potentially 5star amenities but delivered (apart from the beach ) a very 3 star experience !!! Would I go again ? …. I think there’s better in this location for the money we paid !

My stay in Sandbanks

Lovely service. Clean rooms. Great breakfast. Nice cosy swimming pool
Eran, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel well situated but some problems with hit water, pressure and wifi.
Alexandre, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We go every year and this year the service was poor as the bars closed when there was people wanting drinks on the terrace you get served pints in plastic glasses and more expensive than up the road in steins ! Breakfast finished at 9.45 and heat lamps turned off and then I usually take a coffee out on terrace after breakfast in a takeaway cup and was told manageress had told them to remove the take out cups … 2nd coffee machine out of order and that was out of order last year ! Disappointing overall
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very reasonable rate for a room for one night; won’t fault the room or the bed, the bathroom was clean but very old, although the shower was better than I expected to be fair. Breakfast though - let the place down. No catering staff on view, fried eggs were probably over an hour old, the sausages were cooked well but were so solid they must have come straight from the freezer, the bacon, cooked toms and mushrooms saved an on the spot complaint because my “fresh” slice of bread had mould on it!

Lovely beachfront location and great food.
Peter, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The hotel is in need of major renovation! Damp smell and leaks everywhere, old unclean worn out furniture. I paid 220 for one night, was not worth it at all. I can’t understand how expedia can give 8 out of ten! Definitely not a four star. Staff were very nice. Overall very disappointed with our stay.
Nihal, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Shower did not work on arrival. Plumbing in general seemed dated. Room was long ways from lift and required short stairs with luggage to get to.
