The hotel was immaculately clean and our room overlooked the sea. Well stocked RNLI shop and lovely seating areas. Sadly such a positive review cannot be left for Riggers restaurant. Our starters were fine and arrived after some confusion as to whether the restaurant had any prawns. The 4 main course arrived. ,3 of which were satisfactory. The burger was so burnt it was inedible as was the bun , ham & cheese.I was offered a replacement but everyone else had finished eating so I declined , there was little in the way of apology. We were brought dessert menus but after 20 minutes no one had come back to take our order so I went to where the staff were all chatting. Shortly afterwards the desserts arrived and the custard was cold. Again I had to go to find someone. The manager did apologise and the bill was amended according. The service was terrible no one seemed to know what they were doing. Such a shame that we feel this has let the hotel down. This will not deter us from staying at the hotel we will eat off site in future.

What a great hotel comfortable bed large room spotless with sofa really nice soaps supplied in the bathroom. The hotel breakfast was superb and all the staff in the entire hotel were excellent.I can't rate this place highly enough. Views from the entire hotel were excellent. The only thing was the bar was shut for refurbishment but this spoil our visit

We visited the RNLI College for the Launch A Memory event on the weekend of April 13-14 and got to see my dad's name on Eric's Legend 13-40. Everything ran so smoothly and it was a beautiful afternoon filled with great memories. Accommodation was full so we stayed next door. We came over to the College several times for the event and also to enjoy the restaurant. The staff from the front desk to the gift shop were awesome! Friendly smiles and going the extra mile is the epitome of the 5-star service they provide at every point! The best kept secret is the upstairs bar / cafe where we enjoyed drinks after the event and watched the sunset over the water getting great glimpses of the opening twin sail bridge. Advice: Go for the amazing Sunday roast buffet but do call ahead to make reservations. We look forward to staying here on a future visit to Poole as there simply isn't a nicer hotel to stay - or to eat and drink.

We attended the RNLI commemorative event, “Launch a Memory” where we had the opportunity to see my late mother’s name alongside others, incorporated into the decal of “Eric’s Legend”. Fantastically organised from start to finish with designated time slots and friendly and informative staff. A very moving experience for us as a family and the building, the all day breakfast, and the fantastic sculptor portraying a rescue at sea all contributed to our lovely day. Worth a visit on any day and a charity so worthy of our support.

Had a fantastic time here celebrating our wedding anniversary. Room, food, service, view and everything else was absolutely perfect. Loved it as I'm a RNLI mega fan and volunteer and wanted to visit for years. If you are a lifeboat geek like myself this place is 10/10 We especially like to mention Owen, Olena from the catering team and Evelyn from the tour team who were especially helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. They all deserve a big thank you :) Thank you so much for looking after us so well. We look forward to coming back soon. Can't wait ❤️

Came for a tour and had lunch in the restaurant. Really good tour, so good to see a professional, efficient ethos devoted to saving lives at sea replicated in hospitality. Great lunch, tasty and good views from the restaurant. Will come back!!

We stayed for 2 nights with our little boy. The room was very clean and spacious. It was a little bit hot even though there is air conditioning, the window doesn’t open very wide as it is high up. The breakfast was excellent lots of choices. All the staff were very helpful and friendly especially the lady on the reception desk called claire. She really went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be staying here again when visiting friends

The hotel accommodation was excellent / all rooms are large, with views across the harbour. Parking free on site. Comfortable bed, good shower. We ate dinner in Rigger’s restaurant - great sea views, excellent service, good food reasonably priced. Breakfast in the same place - really good. However, highlight of our stay was the tour - small group of 8 of us, very good guide and extremely interesting. Best buy was the ride in the lifeboat simulator! Dinner and your have to be booked separately.
