Best Western Wessex Royale Hotel Dorchester

Good quality produce good choice on the menu ,very friendly staff. Lovely decor, throughout the hotel. Our suite was perfect , sitting room bedroom & bathroom all excellent spotlessly clean. Everything worked in the bathroom with lots of space. A very nice small village feel With some lovely restaurants close by. Great location for travelling to other interesting towns.

Amazing 5 star experience! The decor looked amazing and sophisticated. The receptionist greeted me with a lovely smile, and provided me with the best service. The room looked absolutely beautiful, and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bathroom was spacious, and there was a closet with an iron and an ironing board in it. Excellent! £64 for the night was an absolute bargain! I strongly believe that it should be worth more than that. The room and service felt like it was worth £105-£110 per night at least. Thank you to the fabulous receptionist and the Sleeping Bear Hotel for my amazing stay. I will most definitely come back, and will most definitely be more than just one night. Excellent! 10/10

A lovely find. The hotel is beautifully done to keep the period features to the fore whilst making sure all the mod cons are there. The staff were lovely and very helpful. There's no evening meals available (at the moment?) but there's plenty of restaurants around and you were fine to bring in a takeaway if you want. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed extremely comfortable. A delicious breakfast topped off the stay. Parking is obviously an issue, but there's nothing the hotel can do about that due to the nature of the building. We found overnight parking for £1.50 (obviously depending on your arrival and departure times) a 5 minute walk away at Fairfield Car Park. A well run, obviously cared for place.

While the manager agreed with me that the hotel seemed like "a creaky old place," in fact, it's graciously refurbished, well equipped, very comfortable, and clean. All the staff were cordial and efficient, particularly the dining room staff at the superb-served breakfast. Our waitress, Cary, was delightfully accommodating and cheerful. We have traveled often and extensively, and the Best Western Wessex Royale provided us with one of our best overnight experiences.

The greatest asset to this accommodation is the staff. They were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We asked to stay 2 more nights, they were able to accommodate us in another room, they even helped us carry our luggage to the other room. The breakfast room was lovely, table service and cooked to order. Fabulous cooked breakfast menu, as well as the usual self service continental buffet. No restaurant here but lots of options within a short walk, they welcome you to bring back takeaway even supply cutlery and plates. There is a delightful common lounge area inside the front door to eat and relax with a bar for evening drink. The motel has a lot of character and we loved out stay in Dorchester.
