Shah of Persia, Poole by Marston's Inns

Room suited basic needs very well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast good

Clearly the building is showing signs of age and needs to be refreshed.

Mr Ian, the manager, was absolutely brilliant, and we cannot praise him enough; a gentleman, professional and accommodating. The room was big and clean but very dated; the bath and showers were clean but dated and severely need a revamp. The windows are neglected, dated and disregarded. The carpets and the colours of the walls need to change to be more welcoming; the place needs a little attention and a revamp as a hotel. It is a shame that it has been left like this; it has good potential and can be great with a little attention and care. You can keep the same prices, but with a higher occupancy rate. These comments are as suggestions because we liked our stay and hope to visit again in the future. best regards kurosh

It needs to be cared for and refurbished; it has great potential

Staff were lovely Breakfast was lovely

Tv didn’t work Bed was uncomfortable

Central location to where I needed to be. Free parking on site. Staff were friendly upon checking in. Paid breakfast in the morning was good.

The room i stayed in was quite small, dated, but ok. Dusty in places as my black clothes picked it up. The room was very hot (but this summer has been) the little fan in the room didn't do much & neither did having the windows open. Sleep was disturbed by the big industrial fan/extraction unit just outside my room window.
