1777 The Albion

Excellent stay, room is clean and spacious

As advertised, this is a room only (with breakfast available at the nearby sister pub, which we didn't have), right in the centre of Wimborne. The room was clean, the king-sized bed very comfortable, a good shower and a friendly welcome at the little reception desk. It isn't (& doesn't purport to be) a hotel with a bar etc as 1 or 2 previous reviewers evidently expected it to be.

Room and amenities

This was a lovely place to stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room and breakfast was lovely! We really enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely room right in the middle of Wimborne

.

Everything was just wonderful . Stayed in room 10 which was just Beautiful, clean and they had thought of everything.

Stayed in room 3 which is accessed from outside. The room was extremely small with just enough toom to walk round the bed. The bed was very large and comfy. I slept well. The excessive cushions and pillows along with lots of other decorative bits and pieces (short stories, animal door stop, area info etc) cluttered the room further. Whilst I was travelling alone, 2 people would struggle in this room. My case had to go in the corner on the floor making it difficult to walk around. Even the table was a drop leaf to save space. It was also dark- insufficient lighting including in the bathroom. All this plus lots of paintings and decor made it quite claustrophobic. The tea and coffee provision was nice. Hairdryer stopped working mid dry and no receptionist on hand. Breakfast was a 3 min walk outside to the restaurant. This was fine for me, if somewhat inconvenient in general. As i checked in after 6pm the receptionist had gone home so i was called up and told to collect my key at the restaurant. That went well. Breakfast was very good. Hot and cold selection. Be aware the church is nearby and rings every 15 mins through both day and night. It wasnt too instrusive but may bother others. Not somewhere I would rush back to though was convenient for my work.

Very nice room and helpful staff

Very friendly welcome Lovely comfortable, clean room Great tea/coffee tray Cans of water provided too Clean bathroom with good water pressure Convenient parking

Room was spotless and every extra comfort available. All very welcoming when we arrived. Breakfast was excellent as well. Thanks to all the staff. We were in Room 8 which was a good size and very good size bathroom.

The Staff was welcoming The location was amazing!! Right in the centre The room was old, the shower door didn't close, and the floor was quite sticky, :(

Very friendly staff to welcome. The room was very beautiful, very comfy bed, beautiful cotton sheets. Everything sparkly clean . A modern shower room in an otherwise very atmospheric historic room that made me feel I’d travelled back in time. The only drawback we couldn’t control the temperature of the shower , water too hot to stand under.

The room was spotless, perfectly decorated, the bed was very comfortable and the staff were lovely . Highly recommended, thank you.

Lovely interesting room and spotlessly clean, a great night's sleep thank you.

All excellent

Lovely, spacious airy room, with a quaint style, a huge copper freestanding bath is in the room, room for two, such a delight! There is a rainfall separate shower in the bathroom too, handy for both of us getting ready at the same time. Large sea kelp toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash ,bubble bath etc. Generous selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate & complimentary watercomplimentary eco- friendly. Free car parking at the rear. Hairdryer & a magified mirror with light ring to do makeup in .Fan and radiator in all rooms. Staff friendly as always, so accommodating with late checkout, always appreciated! Our room (7) unfortunately wouldn't connect to Internet, i believe there was an issue with our TV as neighbouring rooms had WIFI, we were kindly offered free breakfast as a goodwill gesture due to this. Always a pleasure to stay at the Albion, i will always stay here when visiting the friendly town of wimborne. Great location in the square, walking distance to Wetherspoons pub, the tivoli theatre, supermarket, restaurants etc, bus route & taxi rank are literally 30 seconds walk. The beautiful church is opposite the albion, I've meant to visit it each time i stayed, maybe next time! Some folks complain of the bells, however if youre opposite a chirch, it should be expected! Some rooms it's noticeable, in our room it was not, though ear plugs are provided for those with sensitive hearing! 5* given, of course.

Accomodation was clean, welcoming, beautiful, bed was super comfortable, had everything you could possibly need. They really did anticipate your every wish. Historically very interesting. Full English breakfast was incredible. Parking was easy and much appreciated. Staff - Greg, Sarah and Sam were all amazingly helpful with customer service being top of their mind. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Yes great for accessibility if staying on ground floor and mobility issues. Very handy for local amenities

We know Wimborne quite well having family nearby and have often been intrigued by this interesting looking hotel in the town centre. The opportunity arose to spend a single night mid-week while attending a family event. We had a really comfortable stay, and left wishing we were staying longer. Others will moan about the Minster’s chiming bells through the night. I found it quite comforting and my wife used the complementary ear-plugs, and we both had an excellent night’s sleep in the gloriously comfortable bed.
