Guest Reviews
Location and comfort
Minimal staff presence and no food or bar service other than from vending machines and free coffee. A waste of what was obviously previously an inn
A great location
All good
Bedroom quite spacious. Bed comfortable. No breakfast (known in advance) but attractive local cafes readily available and actually a good alternative !
Reception unmanned 18.00 to 10.00 next morning. Though the auto booking in and out was easy to use & worked well.
But definitely NOT the hotel experience I appreciate.
Place soulless and very plain. Just a place to sleep. so not good value for money at the price asked.
Very quaint little hotel and room, in a very quaint little location.
No complaints
Good location in a lovely old building. Easy staff-free check in (we arrived after 6pm). Coffee machine downstairs. Friendly staff on check-out and huge spacious room. We were facing the back which was much quieter than the front.
Walls were quite thin meaning you could hear the person on the phone in the room behind
Lack of variety of tea (only english breakfast) available
The staff were very friendly and approachable; fulfilling our requests and needs at no moments notice.
More a nik-pic but there was no AC so during the recent heat waves the room would've been hard to stay in, the window provided felt unsafe on the bottom floor due to ease of reaching their hand in from outside. TV needs re-tuning as it was outdated and hard to understand what was on at night on the guide.
Friendly staff, beautiful building, comfortable rooms, just absolutely amazing and definitely want to stay again next time myself and my partner in Dorchester!
Ate out at two places and both ok
Everything
Nothing
Quirky.
Noisy road (no double glazing due to age)
The location and bathroom
Water was left in the kettle. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the room needed a vacuum. There were no staff working past 5pm.
As returning gyests we received a very warm welcome. Our hotel.of choice due to how wonderful the staff are and the styke, class and comfort of the interiors. Well appointed comfirtable rooms, a loveky guests lounge to relax in with a well equipped hot drink area for guests to enjoy.
Everythibg was great no complaints.
Everything!
