We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on a Saturday night - an early start with the brilliant Wessex Archaeology dive team meant we needed to be close to Poole Quay. We got a deal on the website, paying just over half the standard rate. For that price it was fine and worked for us. The staff were really helpful... more

This is the most overpriced place I have ever stayed.. They charge extra for everything. Small might be a good name for this because the rooms are small, the TV is small the breakfast is small, and the management is very small..One of the managers told me they could charge the prices because they could. They chagred 30lb for a... more

We stayed at this Hotel for 3 nights (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) in mid August travelling with our 4 month old daughter. We searched for some time to locate a Hotel on the coast with parking right outside - which this hotel offers. We drove down from Edinburgh (part of a 2 week trip South) & were fully laden thus not... more

Extremely expensive for a mediocre hotel. Rooms not very clean. Basic breakfast. Poor location to access Poole. Railway close by but not too noisy. more

Well I'll start with the good point about this hotel the locations fantastic right in the centre of Poole and walking distance to both the town centre and the quay. This would be a great hotel for about £50 a night however for the £115 a night they charge it's pretty unimpressive. Our room was average although the bed was... more

The Express by Holiday Inn chain is a no frills service but is always a bit better than other budgets chains. This was good and clean and comfortable. If anything the rooms are slightly bigger than others I've been to. They put on a simple buffet breakfast included in the rate. Its not in the nicest area, just off a... more

We stayed at the HIE Poole fro 3 days last week. on arrival there were no problems with the check in at all. The room was on the 3rd floor 322 nice and spacious as you would expect from a Holiday Inn Hotel. Although the room did look a little tired and the nets on the windows had holes in... more

I have stayed in many Holiday Inns Express Hotels over the years( Priority Club Member), so I know what to expect, but sadly Poole didnt meet my expectations. The room was badly in need of a refit, tired bathroom, worn carpets, holey curtains just isnt up to the usual HIE standard.The soap dispenser was empty when we arrived, I heard... more

We stayed there few times, last time in April. The staff were polite and helpful. Rooms are simple, but have all one needs: comfortable bed, telly, AC, good shower. Buffet breakfast - also enough variety to satisfy all members of family. My husband went first for breakfast with our 4 month old son and was nicely suprised when a member... more
