East Dorset District Vacations from ￥206,806

The room was spotless and the staff was very kind. The breakfast was a great selection.

I didn’t have a great stay I ticked the good star. The thing about the Berkeley is it should be re-named as it bares no resemblance to the original Berkeley Hotel we first stayed in 30 years ago .It has gone through some great changes over the years the Blue bar and Collins room designed by David Collins and didn’t Sir Richard Roger’s design the entrance . Now you have the Collins room area that has nothing to do with the hotel and a strange mash up between the new Emory hotel owned by the May

Staff excellent 5*, but property is not a 4* hotel in my experience, Rooms are tired and in need of refurbishment/decorating e.g. paint missing from walls, bathroom sealant peeling and green/black in areas, window frame rusting/mouldy on inside, tv’s worked intermittently, ac fan speed could not be turned down as engineer advised broken, so “choose off or full fan speed” was the response, which wasn’t great. Breakfast is okay but lacking veggie hot options, fruit choice is limited. Having a kitchen area was helpful.

Check in was smooth and all staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and with everything available to make our stay comfortable. Luxury is apparent everywhere, but not flashy like some hotels. Quality and comfort abound. We had such a lovely stay, the bed was super comfy and even the third bed we had put in the room was super comfy. The staff even left a birthday present for my mum when they discovered it was her birthday. A very special overnight stay and I would stay again in a flash.

This hotel is super clean. The only concern that I have is with the housekeeper. She did not clean the shower.
