The best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel - both choice and quality! The hotel was in a very good position for sightseeing. Only negative was the poor air-conditioning in my bedroom.

Nice stay

Did not have any food at the hotel. Beds were very comfortable, pillows were ok and the duvet was light, although the duvet cover was too big. Room was spacious with a sofa. Good air con in the room. The hotel was only 5 minutes walk to the beach. The down side was the car park as charges are too high at £15 per night, with no guarantee that if you leave your space there will be one available when you return. This let the hotel down as others in the area were only charging £8.

Basic hotel

I didn’t expect luxury for the price I paid, my priorities were a clean room, comfy bed and quiet. My room was clean, there were hangers in the wardrobe and fresh towels. The furniture had seen better days. There was no hairdryer in the room and my kettle didn’t work but these were replaced by staff. The air conditioner/heater was easy to operate. The bathroom was adequate and there was plenty of hot water, however, the bath was quite small and wouldn’t suit a larger person. The lift is very slow and hadn’t been adequately cleaned. The corners hadn’t seen a hoover for years.

Loved this hotel. The location was great. The price was good. The staff was friendly. And it was clean, they took care of us. I would 100% stay here again. I would say there should be some upgrades made to the tv to be bigger, a more comfortable mattress, and if there was a way to make the floors less squeaky that’d be great. But overall it was a great stay.

Parking is horrible in the streets, and the car park itself is small at £15 per day pricey. Walk to beach is why we stay here, staff are all young but very polite. Building was once grand, a little jaded now, but clean and tidy, we have been regulars for s verbal years now.

Nice stay for one night

We stayed only one night. As hotel very old it self. We were very surprised how nice room was. It was refurbished and so comfy. I think it's very important room condition. Lovely swimming pool area. Small but nice. English breakfast fully loaded that was nice. I stayed with kids and they were surprised - no pancakes. So even I payed for breakfast they had nothing to eat only toast and honey. No pastry like a croissants or similar. Location actually is absolutely perfect. Close to the beach, close to the pier. Hard to get parking and quiet expensive just on the street.

Enjoyable stay overall

Third floor room was very quiet and in a very good condition, albeit no view. A bit smallish for 2 people because of the eaves, reducing space. Air conditioning came handy in hot weather. Very friendly receptionist at check-in. Five minutes descend to the beach. Breakfast average, but watermelon and pineapple added value.

They have parking but it’s not guaranteed once you go out so unfortunately for us we did pay for the parking but unfortunately did not get to park there but there is free on street parking 2 minutes walk away. The room we stayed in was clean and bed comfort was okay, but the room has everything u need. The room was In need of redecorating. Breakfast was good.

We stopped from 7th July to 11th July this year 2025. We had a lovely break in the Durley Dean, its clean and tidy and the staff are first class, very friendly. Ok its dated but its Victorian. The bus stops are 200 yards away from the hotel entrance in the direction of Bournemouth and the buses are frequent to lots of local towns and resorts. We were out every day going to somewhere. Swanage, Poole, Westbourne and Christchurch. We would go again. Thank you Durley Dean

Great location, close to beach

The location is excellent, 5 minutes from the beach and close to the town centre. The hotel was comfortable and clean, the room was spacious and had air conditioning and the hotel had friendly staff who helped us get a taxi back to the train station after our trip. Although on this trip we did not use many of the hotels amenities, we will be back to stay again.
