Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

Probably a bit unfair to write anything but I was sent a link to do it. The rooms are fine, they have what you need, a comfortable bad and bathrooms are pretty spacious again have all you need. The location is in the high street so thats as central as you might want. Awoken early by a fire alarm, there do not seem to be any staff on duty and the fire service didnt exactly break records to attend. Not sure if it was staff or a well qualified guest decided it was safe to go back in. Just had time to grab a shower before I was due to leave for an appointment, water was ice cold. Not ideal. Its probably worth another shot, unlikely for lightning to strike twice. Not sure its great not to have staff in at night. No food could be an issue for people although there are restaurants nearby.

Great location. Staff friendly.

Lovely staff.

The bar was well stocked, I can not comment on the parking as we got the train. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Lovely clean room with a very comfortable mattress. Had a fantastic night's sleep.

The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly. The lounge area was also comfortable. The parking area is somewhat restricted.

Couldn’t stay in the room, the small window and lack of light up in the eaves provoked a panic attack. Had to leave.

Loved the place. The staff was great. Unfortunately, no breakfast...but I knew up front.

Apart from noisy creaking floorboards and thin walls, no complaints.

Its not the hotel its the service fron Trivago! Having paid for a room to be told the room had already gone. Not happy at all!!

The Sleeping Bear was an extremely comfortable place to stay. It had recently been decorated to a high standard and everything was well cared for. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

I was disappointed that you were charged £15 for parking. You could not get breakfast in the hotel?

Very friendly staff and a well looked after hotel, good location for walking into town with nearby restaurants.

Only spent one night at The Sleeping Bear but enjoyed it and would certainly recommend. Helpful staff, handy location and good room.

Stayed at the sleeping bear as we were visiting lulworth cove for my birthday. Pre paid and booked a parking space at the hotel. Very comfortable bed and unlimited tea and coffee at all hours. Nicely decorated and felt homely and comfortable. A random sock from the previous guest left in our room, although hard to see in the cleaners defence! Good shower and tv in room. Would stay again.

Quiet, clean, safe & friendly staff. Would 100% stay here again.

A lovely hotel in Dorchester located on the high street. No restaurant but so many around us that this was absolutely no issue whatsoever! Very friendly staff, hot drinks available for free, cmfortable room, free overnight car park nearby...we had a lovely stay in this hotel and will definitely stay there next time we are in the area!

Great arrived late and keys were left buzzer to get in. All very well organised. Room lovely and fan was on when we arrived as extremely hot. This was a lovely gesture thankyou. 🙂

We booked this stay through hotels.com and communications were good, especially the option to pre book parking as spaces were limited in the parking area behind the hotel. Check in was pleasant and we were shown to our 3 nice rooms, all a good size, nicely decorated and with modern bathrooms (although I do loathe shower curtains!) and a nice desk to work at. There were kettles in each room with plenty of tea and coffee options. Although the hotel does not do food there are plenty of options within a few minutes walk and we ate dinner at Kao San Thai, just opposite. There were a couple of guest lounge areas with free tea/coffee facilities and also a bar for the evening. Prices on the Saturday night were expensive but the Sunday night was far more reasonable. Wi-Fi was very good and the rooms were quiet, other than seagulls! The hotel was a good location, both for walking to Dorchester's attractions and exploring the wider area.
