Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Express Poole By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the hotel's cleanliness and its excellent breakfast, especially the pancakes and full English options. The location is appreciated, being central to Poole town centre and a short walk from the harbour, plus conveniently close to the ferry port and Lighthouse venue. While most found the rooms comfortable and well-equipped, a few guests have noted that plug sockets aren't always conveniently located near mirrors.

Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

The room was clean and seemed vibrant.

The staff seemed disinterested and could have smiled more, suggesting they wished to assist guests. My room had a very substandard heater, and it was cold. The room was also noisy due to other guests..

The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection, including hot items and pastries. I found the on-site parking very convenient, especially with ample spaces available (it made my arrival stress-free).

The bathroom lacked a small shelf for toiletries near the sink (this was a minor inconvenience).

The room included a TV and reliable WiFi. The car park was spacious, convenient. I found the staff to be efficient and helpful (a plus in my book).

The hotel charged for parking, and this came as a surprise. The coffee machine offered only regular coffee, disappointing. Decaf was only available in sachets. I also found the bed a bit too hard.
