Great stay at HDV Poole
We had a great time at the hotel and enjoyed an excellent night using the bar on Friday with a happy hour offer and £30 to spend behind the bar if we did not need our room serviced. We accepted this offer and enjoy a great evening in the lounge with our dog Mia. The only downside is that parking is extremely limited to only 12 cars.

Just had a quick 1 night stay. I was traveling with my elderly mum and Brooke on reception was so kind and accommodating. The room with accessible bathroom was excellent. Great location to enjoy the old town and very good breakfast.

All fine, however it was irritating not to have hooks in the bathroom for bath robes & an accessible mirror with enough light for ladies to use when putting on make up etc & men to use when shaving.

Above and Beyond
There was nothing that was too much trouble for the hotel and the staff. I made requests that, in some cases were not normal procedure for them, but they stepped up and provided the support I requested. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. It really was first class.

Great hotel and breakfast.
This is the 4th time we have stayed at the hotel when visiting family. The hotel is in a great quiet location, a short walk from the key. Friendly staff and a great breakfast. We will be back.

Comfortable weekend break
Great customer service and a very friendly team. Hotel ideally located for the harbour and sea front. Spacious room with everything we needed for a comfortable weekend break. Easy access to town car park if hotel car park is full. All in all great value and we would return.
