Reviews
A good hotel in a very convenient location. The views from every room are great (the harbour) and the breakfast is very good quality and there is a massive selection.
Only stayed for the location - parking is free but not obvious...just go through the entrance barrier then through another barrier into the pay and display car park...don't pay..you will be given a ticket for your windscreen in reception
It's not quite 5 star but it's not trying to be either. Rooms are tidy and functional.
Make sure you walk on the walkway through the site, a grumpy chef shouted across the car park at me to do so when no cars were anywhere to be seen. Again walkway not explained or obvious from the reception to the car park. Didn't enjoy being shouted at by a grumpy employee.
Service very disappointing I attended private event. Restaurant couldn’t serve soup and roll in less than 20 min. Had to ask for water and glasses in meeting room - and then they only had three jugs. Dinner was average. Just not tuned into customers. For an organisation which pretends to excellence this was not up to standard. Avoid.
This is our favorite, GoTo place to stay in Poole. Immaculate clean rooms, fabulous service (Yeah for Ben @ the front desk!) With fabulous views of the port. Breakfast is superb !
The RNLI College is spectacular. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. The food and ambiance is lovely. It's really impressive to see all that the RNLI is able to achieve from public donations. 10/10 recommendation.
Did both lifeboat tours here, one by Judith (Discovery Tour), and one by Tony (All Weather Lifeboat Tour), and were excellent, letting you see parts of the RNLI you wouldn’t normally think about, or see on TV. The hotel room was comfortable and very nicely decorated.
Great hotel in a nice location, reasonably priced too. Dinner and breakfast were both very good, especially the breakfast. Corona on tap in the bar was a nice surprise. The only slight negative would be that I did find the room a little too warm during the night. However, I would definitely recommend and would be happy to stay here again.
The RNLI is a legendary organisation and the facility here in Poole is fantastic. Well worth a visit! Lots of volunteers training on the day I visited and it the mechanics of this organisation happening in front of you.
Fantastic and friendly staff. Lovely room and comfortable bed. Very clean. We enjoyed a delicious meal and breakfast was amazing. A shout out to Tia working in the bar who couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stay.
