### Hotel du Vin & Bistro Poole

4/10 Poor

"We stayed at Hotel Du Vin in Poole as a treat for my birthday and were hoping for a special experience. The location is great and it was a nice touch that they left two small truffles chocolates in the room for my birthday. However, there were a few disappointing things. The bath still had cleaning product left on it when we arrived, so we had to wait for this to be sorted. We also didn’t sleep well as the pillows went flat quickly and the bed was very firm. The room menu mentioned fresh milk in the fridge, but this apparently stopped after Covid and instead there were small long-life milk pots, which felt a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was also disappointing – the poached eggs were very slimy and no one checked on us during the meal. This isn't the service I'd expect for £24 for breakfast each. When checking out I mentioned everything had only been “fine”, but this didn’t seem to be picked up on by the receptionist. Overall, a lovely location but not quite the experience we expected for a birthday treat."

"Room clean .No charging points on sockets for phones etc. Staff generally helpful and well turned out. Food: gtasty and well presented and reasonably priced BUT only scrambled eggs on the breakfast menu!!! The help yourself breakfast menu is NOT appreciated by most guests in my experience. The toaster doesn't really work and the food in the heated trays is generally luke- warm by the time guests have got their own tea toast etc and returned to the table. Confusion amongst staff and customers re price of drinks at Happy Hour: drinks should be half price not two for one. Then everyone would understand the system and singles would not be forced to have two drinks when they only wanted one. "
