A Perfect stay in Dorchester
Had a fantastic stay at the King’s Arms for 2 nights with a few friends. We must praise all the staff, and their impeccably good service, throughout our stay. The manager was very engaging, and there was little doubt that he ran a happy ship ! The food and drink was of an exceptionally high standard, and the breakfast options were perfect. The rooms were cosy and clearly recently upgraded. It has been a while since we have experienced this level of service at a hotel….. and we travel quite frequently. I fail to see how the hotel receives a lowly star rating of 3.5!!! Surely a Mistake !!! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough !

Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in was quick. Room on 2nd floor at front of hotel was large and quirky. Some noise from road ouside but soon got used to it. Tea and nespresso making facilities with fresh milk carton in fridge. Free still water bottles replenished in the fridge each day. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. Good location with easy walking distance to both rail stations and bus stop nearby. Very enjoyable stay.

Whilst the hotel was nicely decorated and stylish, the room was very hot and the windows couldn’t be opened more than a tiny amount. The milk in the fridge had gone off so couldn’t use it.
