oh, where to begin with this utter disappointment. the wifi didn’t work, and the television was embarrassingly patchy. to top it off, i paid extra for breakfast, which was a complete letdown and way overpriced. i was expecting at least a complimentary gesture for all my troubles but apparently that's only for the special ones. just couldn’t bring myself to give a good review now.

Noise is a consistent nuisance due to traffic outside and creaky floors, impacting overall rest quality. The breakfast experience was a bit of a letdown. while there’s a menu, the selection felt limited, and it was a bummer that not all options were available early in the morning. The decor throughout the place is showing its age and could really use an update. it just gives off a worn vibe. the bathroom facilities seem outdated, hindering some comfort. the air conditioning noise outside my window was unwelcome, detracting from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. All these aspects contributed to a rather mixed experience, despite some enjoyable moments during the stay.

I just came back from a one-night stay, and I have to say, the staff were absolutely lovely, really sound folks! The room was grand and spotless, though the pub's décor was a tad tired. Food was decent too, good pub grub!

I had a lovely stay at the Shah Of Persia, Poole By Marston'S Inns. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the town and quay. The room was incredibly spacious, clean, and the beds were comfy, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Some noise from the traffic.

the staff were super friendly and really helpful, made us feel welcome! the food was tasty and really good price, a total win. location was convenient to get into town. room was nice and warm with a big comfy bed, that was awesome. overall def would come back!

but the bathroom was kinda gross with some mold and the hot water tap just kept running, which was annoying.

Exceptional staff made dining decisions easy for my wife.

All Pros, no Cons

The cleanliness was AMAZING! ! Huge, comfy beds with excellent shower pressure left me feeling pampered. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making my stay truly enjoyable.

The location, the menu options, the seating arrangements, the staff – all fantastic!

Fantastic Value with Unexpected Comfort!

We enjoyed a spacious standard double room with comfy beds. The pub below served lightning-fast meals, making dinner effortless. Staff were incredibly helpful, and the location near Sandbanks beach was a delightful bonus. Pro tip, ask for a room away from the junction for a quieter stay!

Super comfy family room, excellent meal choices, and the location is perfect for catching buses.
