Haven Hotel

Very nice view and friendly staff

Excellent Location, Scenery.

Great location, great breakfast, comfortable bed

The room was terrible .we were told we would have courtyard view .we have stayed at Haven Hotel several times before over a few years always been really happy with our rooms.we were put in room 205 fully frosted window that was locked shut it was very windy outside we had to push tissue in it to stop it rattling .overnight there was a.continous load noise from a generator or something outside window we couldn't see out to see what it was.Also a dog was barking on corridor opposite for some time in evening .then a noisy group came in at 2-30 am didn't get any sleep at all.it was our wedding anniversary and my 80th birthday ,it was only for 1 night and I should have complained at time put up with it .I felt ill all next day because of the stress .we went on to stay at.Durley Dene hotel in Bournemouth for next two nights and it was lovely.not one problem .I just hope Haven look into this as it ruined our weekend we won't be staying there again

Sea view wonderful! Staff slow to respond and sometimes forgot about us in the restaurant or not in reception when required which was disappointing. Lady in reception on the phone for ages this morning when we wanted to check out so we gave up and left our key cards on the desk. Not good!!

Superb location

Fantastic hotel, close to the chain ferry and bus services, beauitful sea veiws, on the beach amazing spa and out door heated pool, fantastic service, cant fault it, what a gem, also dog friendly

Absolutely beautiful area. Good place to stay to explore the area. Restaurant excellent, all staff friendly. Would stay again. Really comfy bed.

Nice veiws in lounge and restaurants. Dissapointed with no veiw from room.and problems a few times with lift not working

Nice hotel with great facilities. Outdoor pool is warm and sauna / steam rooms were decent. However, I expected more of a view from a 'premium room' (picture attached). Annoyingly, the leisure centre (roof in picture) made an annoying humming throughout the night. Check-in was probably the fastest I've ever encountered and all staff with the exception of one miserable bar worker were absolutely excellent. Leisure staff were partcularly excellent. Breakfast was very nice and dining has great views out to sea.

We liked where the hotel was situated on the beach at sandbanks

The location is stunning, watching the chain link ferry going backwards and forwards

Where the hotel was situated was lovely with access to the private beach. The staff were a little slow and unattentive. The pool has a bar but for beer you have to walk to other end of the hotel which is very odd. Nice and clean and breakfast i cannot fault, would stay again.

Amazing sea views ,

Good hotel tocstay. Service good staff friendly. Fantastic views of the sea and harbour.

Fabulous location on the beach. Lovely menu with vegan options that's not the usual burger and chips then sorbet.

Needs updating food was fair priced but under par

We had a balcony room, overlooking the sea and harbour , view and location was excellent, hotel very tired , could be magnificent, and obviously as been in the past , staff very hit and miss, reception staff was lovely, restaurant staff was lacking , was going to have dinner one night in the hotel , so stood waiting to be seated , staff did acknowledge we was there , but kept us waiting that long we ended up eating out , I would understand, if they had been very busy ,but they really wasn’t.i also don’t understand there dress code , very shabby, faded jeans , track suit bottoms t shirts not a very professional look for staff , and that carried through with there lack of service, menu could have been a lot better, Pool and spa staff was lovely , outside drinks bar was added bonus

The toilet kept blocking up even when not being used.The maintenance guy came twice but as soon as he left it was blocked again.We had to use the ones downstsirs by the lift. The shower had no power at all absolutely useless. The bed had a spring sticking out on the left hand side. Had to ask for the coffee cups to be washed every breakfast. Hotel just neads a bit of T L C Hotel very nice pool etc perfect.

Love this hotel ,perfect location right by the harbour and ferry to Swanage.Spa ,indoor and outdoor pool ,which leads to the beautiful beach Restaurant food and service is top class,with the best sea views.I don’t like going to places twice,but this hotel keeps drawing me back.
