Good location
Dirty, broken bed, bottles of urine left outside windows
I particularly liked chasing the shower head around. I also enjoyed the tiny TV at the very extreme of my vision!
The wall paper lets it down as it is no longer fashionable and peeling in places. The bathroom light is an old energy saver and so I was unable to aim for the first 5 minutes of stream!
The staff were very friendly and helpful indeed. The pub was clearly enjoyed by locals and although it was a random Thursday evening in September, it had a comforting atmosphere. The drinks were good. The kettle, TV and en suite (with shower) were much appreciated. I would definitely stay there again!!
The bed felt a little springy but it didn’t disrupt my sleep in any way!
Manager was really friendly, very relaxed. Great value for money. The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. Generally very clean, check out at 11 is great too.
Not really an issue, but as the hotel is attached to a pub and I stayed on a Friday night it was very noisy until midnight, however I knew this would be the case when booking - the price of the room was the cheapest in the area, you want gold standard then pay the prices! The manager was also very clear about the noise too and after the pub closed it was silent so a good nights sleep was still had.
The place was way above my expectations, the rooms have been refurbished recently and are modern and clean! The entrance was easy and private. Being above a pub makes for great company- the staff there are absolutely amazing! the owner helped me so much and was very flexible in keeping my bag before check-in time. Made me feel completely at home- I would not hesitate to return!!
Lovely room, bed was comfortable, shower was hot and it was clean
standard tv no streaming services available, no meals available had to order take away.
situated on a very busy road and no parking
Excellent position. Staff friendly and helpful.
Very accommodating staff
There was a problem with the shower, which is being attended too.
Honestly I struggle to find things I liked aside for the location. It's close enough to "downtown" Dorchester that we can get food easily, there's a Sainsbury nearby, and it was close to where we needed to get to.
Unfortunately Sydney Arms fell below expectations. For starters a few things looked like they were falling apart (e.g. the shelf in the bathroom looked like it could fall at any moment). In the bathroom there was mold on the window, the towels they provided us with smelled (probably of mold?), and the shower was barely warm enough. There were instructions for how to connect to the WiFi but we couldn't find the network. There was a TV but since there was no WiFi we couldn't actually use it. The room itself was also fairly cold. Probably wouldn't stay there again.
Staff we're amazing couldn't be more helpful and friendly
Lovely lady welcomed us great location for walking into town
Great value
Room had everything you need
Very loud karaoke night (obviously I should've thought this as it's above a pub)
The TV/internet didn't work well when pub was busy
Very hot and strong smell of paint
