Fantastic place for sundowners on the patio, magnificent view over the harbour. Not so nice to carry drinks outside to table down steps, with waiters stood around doing nothing.

Well positioned with some rooms having amazing views over the bay. Unfortunately slightly dated interior, with limited food menu, however breakfast was good.

Good breakfast good service Spacious room clean and comfortable we definitely visit again

Arrival was like stepping into an episode of Fawlty Towers. Receptionist fine but he was pretty much only staff member visible

We did enjoy our stay at Harbour Heights, although parts of the hotel feel a little tired and in need of some updating. Unfortunately, some members of staff could also benefit from further customer service training, as at times we felt more like an inconvenience than valued guests. The terrace and the view are absolutely stunning and were definitely the highlight of our stay. However, it was disappointing that guests were not allowed to have meals on the terrace, and there was no waiter service available for drinks from the bar. This felt like a missed opportunity, especially given how spectacular the setting is.

Amazing views over Poole! We ate dinner at the hotel as we wanted to enjoy the view. Breakfast was busy which is to be expected as I think all room rates include breakfast- they had to pause taking orders for 5/10 mins as the chef had too many orders . It would be a good idea to ask guests to book a time for breakfast in order to avoid a sudden influx at one time. Lots of stuff ran out and staff members seemed stressed. The rooms very very nice with great jet bath. Air con worked well. As it's an old hotel the floor boards above us were a bit noisy and walls were thin. But the king size bed was very comfy. Would definitely return. Dinner was lovely and the waiter was great. It would have been nice to have the option to dine outside but apparently there weren't enough staff. Great location for the beach.

This is an incredible place to stay especially when the sun is shining

We only stayed for one night, but it was a great hotel. Everything was clean and in a good state of repair. The room was huge and had everything we needed, e.g. coffee machine, iron, TV, etc. Breakfast was pretty good, I liked the combination of ordering your main dish but being able to help yourself to cereal, fruit, pastries, drinks, etc. I had eggs royale and it was good. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is all parts of the hotel other than where we had breakfast are quite dated - nothing is damaged or looking worn out at all, it's just the style of everything. I imagine it looked incredible about 20-30 years ago.

Had the best meal I've had in a long time, the service was not great i had to go and get my own drink, and then got delayed and overcharged at the bar. When I returned my starter was already there. But the food and the view were amazing. Although the view was great you noticed that the window seal had a crack about 3 foot long and some of the front edge was not painted. So for a room at the price we were paying this should have been sorted. Breakfast was good but disjointed you had to do your own toast and drinks. I did not understand why you would serve just a half a mushroom? and I could have eaten another sausage, but it was very nice.

Not really 4 star by its standards. If not for the amazing view this hotel could not command the prices that it does. restaurant menu very limited, staff in restaurant do not attend very promptly to tyhe tables. Decor is tired, room OK but bathroom poor.
