We found the kings to be most charming. A big thankyou to receptionist 'nats' for looking after us, she gave us a complimentary upgrade and was most helpful throughout, all the staff were polite,happy. We recommend paying the little extra for a gold room as it was a lovely size and on the quiet side of the hotel. We will... more

We stayed here for one night, a thursday, whilst in Christchurch to visit friends who live there. What an excellent choice. We booked a bronze room,on their website, at £70 with full breakfast, but as the hotel was very quiet that night, they upgraded us to a silver room. This was a large room at the front of the hotel... more

We stayed at the Kings Hotel on their Sunday Getaway offer. We upgraded to a Platinum room for £125 for 1 night with breakfast and dinner in the Rhodes Brasserie. The room was huge, very clean and the most comfy bed, gorgeous bedding and THREE wonderful pillows - very luxurious. Sadly didn't get much sleep as the traffic noise was... more

We booked a single night stay with a three course dinner in the Gary Rhodes Brassiere for a total price of £115. On arrival, we were informed that we had been upgraded to a platinum room at no additional cost. On entering the room, we were amazed at the quality and luxury. Yes, it was at the front of the... more

My husband & I stayed in The Kings Arms Hotel over August bank holiday weekend. We needed to be in Christchurch for a family event and thought this would be a perfect base. The hotel is centrally located in Christchurch - not far from the church, boat hire, shops and local transport. The hotel is on a busy main road... more

This hotel's first impressions were great, friendly staff, nice decor etc. but when we entered our 'attic' room where the windows would not open fully and where there was no room to move and if you did you would hit your head off attic ceiling! It's like the hotel tried to overcompensate by the decor - nice lights in wardrobe,... more

This hotel is beautifully appointed and well thought out, the furniture is very high quality. It is also spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were a soft down, the towels and sheets were also of high quality. Our request for an early check in was met with no problems. The receptionist was polite and professional. The... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel at the end of June 2009 and we were shocked at the temp in the bedrooms! It was like a sauna - there was a tiny window in the bedroom and no window in the bathroom. The staff had left 2 fans but all this did was blow hot air around -... more

After being bitterly disappointed with the hotel we originally planned on staying in for 3 nights, we only stayed 1 night and were left looking for somewhere for the 2nd and 3rd nights of our break. Fortunately we were recommended to try this hotel. Immediately we walked in we received a warm welcome from the reception staff, who went out... more

We went here for a drink as we live nearby. Frankly it was better before being taken over by Gary Rhodes. The bar, although decorated and furbished to a high standard, was tiny with only a few tables. That wasn't a problem though because it was empty. That was probably due to the extortionate prices. There was also no beers... more
