Location super, right in town centre, rooms comfortable, clean and roomy.
Car park at back great asset.
Nothing, it was short stay, arrived 10pm left 8-30am so didn’t see much, but all very good 👍
Car park great and good position
Amazing! Friendly, warm greeting on arrival by the lovely staff member at reception; fantastic room, comfortable bed, all amenities, coffee pod in room, quality teas, fabulous soap, handcream, body wash. Fluffy towels. Just wonderful. Free parking was a bonus.
Excellent breakfast. We booked through Booking.com which did not include breakfast. The host mentioned breakfast was included if booked directly with the hotel. Either way, don’t miss breakfast. Our floors creaked with the sound of well worn wood. The bathroom was large with a full bath. Exposed, painted beams in the ceiling. What a wonderful, old English feeling.
Our room faced the main road in Dorchester but the double windows allowed little road noise to enter the room.
It was very charming. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was very good.
The breakfast was great each morning. I tried something different daily.
The outdoor dining area / courtyard could have been better maintained. Despite the wet weather, I would have sat outside more.
We've stayed at other hotels in the Stay Original group previously and The King's Arms didn't disappoint. Characterful and tastefully decorated rooms, impeccable service (a special mention to Carmel for answering all our pre-stay enquiries so quickly) and a wonderful breakfast and dinner.
An old hotel with the rooms tastefully renovated and decorated. Unusual and welcome air conditioning in our room and a good pressure shower. Room clean and tidy, only criticism is it had steps from the bed area to the bathroom which could easily be lit as a safety feature during the night. Even though I was conscious they were there, because it was dark I inadvertently stepped on the corner tripping down them.
Good bar area albeit we were charged 2 different amounts for exactly the same round of drinks and the barmaid was not knowledgeable about drinks.
Dining and breakfast was good.
Service generally friendly and a good atmosphere.
Overall, thought the accommodation was relatively expensive.
Das Zimmer war riesig, das Badezimmer war ebenfalls geräumig. Was mir besonders gefiel, war der Holzboden im Zimmer. Es ist hygienischer als Teppichboden. Wir reisten mit unserem Hund. Der hatte eine Extra-Schlafstelle, ein Handtuch, Futternapf und Leckerli.
Als wir ankamen, feierte unten eine Gesellschaft. Ich befürchtete, wir würden von dem Geräuschpegel gestört werden. Wir haben im Zimmer nichts gehört, obwohl unten auch ein Pub im Hotel war.
A gorgeous hotel in Dorchester, with beautiful rooms and a luxury feel. We stayed here for our wedding and the staff were amazing. It's also perfectly situated for exploring Dorchester, and the breakfast is superb.
Amazing location in the centre of Dorchester. Clean, modern and very comfortable room. Lovely addition of a doggy gift box and towel in the room. Food is divine - I had breakfast and dinner. Friendly and attentive staff. Couldnt fault it, would definitely return!
Rooms were immaculate
This was the second time that my wife and I have stayed at the King’s arms and this time we were pleasantly surprised to find that we had been upgraded. The restaurant food is of good quality and reasonably priced but we felt that the DBB food allowance at £40 per room rather miserly as it doesn’t really cover two main courses these days. All the staff we dealt with were friendly and efficient. The hotel is centrally located in Dorchester near the excellent museum/art gallery and bus stops with regular services to Weymouth, Poundbury and no doubt many other places.
Fabulous period building. Beautiful rooms,which were spotlessly clean. All the staff were smart, courteous and efficient. Parking was excellent and the food was as good as you’d expect in a good restaurant. Absolutely everything was excellent.
I could not fault anything.
