"Nice, older style hotel in great location near quayside. In pedestrian street so have to park elsewhere nearby and early morning noisy bin collections!! Didn't find a lift up to second floor! Really comfy beds"

"we only stayed over one night. The food was adequate and cooked well three courses Breakfast was well presented with good choices very friendly Staff. Whilst there we noticed that there was a swimming pool for the guests also entertainment of an evening which was good fun. Over all a good stay but a bit dated"

"Was a good base to get our heads down and a lovely evening meal and was able to take drinks back to our room to relax for the evening. Would stay again"

"My husband & I arrived on a Friday and we're fairly late arriving, we were shocked at the price of the parking, the sign said £18 per day. You have to use an app which I do not like! We walked to reception and booked in. We were told our room was on third floor. We got in the lift and went up, as soon as the doors opened the heating hit us! We found our room and went in. Again the heat hit us! No a/c or even a fan.Hubby opened a small window and we found we were above the kitchen and had all the heat vents below us. The room was decorated poorly and hubby noticed paint on the frames of pictures where they hadn't been removed. The bed was clean at least, the pillows were awful and I had to ask for a third to make a bit of a even level. The bathroom did not have a window and no extractor so smelt damp. The towel rail/ radiator was not even plumbed in! The room was not worth the money paid! We've had better in a Travelodge! The pool was clean but did not visit the spa so can not comment on that. Having looked forward to staying and seeing family we left early on Sunday just purely to get away from the heat. Food was ok but a small menu. Pricey too. We won't be staying there again!"

"Just back from 3 night break and was surprised at how quiet the hotel was well away from any noise of roads. Room was fine and had aircon and very good wifi included. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hot and refreshed regularly so never ran out of anything, only scrambled eggs no fried etc but that’s a minor issue. Parking bit steep at £10 for 24 hours. Fairly short walk into main front area of Poole for shops boat trips restaurants etc. Bit tricky to find way in and out of hotel on road system but fine once mastered"

"The beach view is obviously great, and the reason for coming here as it's affordable. The reason it's affordable is due to the tired conditions. The balcony was filthy and my partner had to clean the chairs with wet loo roll and the railings to lean on. The room itself was clean enough, although the bathroom didn’t make me feel like I wanted to have a bath, and i usually like to take the opportunity in a hotel. We didn't really enjoy breakfast, egg and bacon ok, sausages and hash browns not. I would rate it closer to 3*. I would stay again, because of the location. "

"Reasonable price , nice clean room and great service"

"Always an excellent stay at The Merchant House."

"When we first pulled up the hotel was not much to look at but honestly, what a lovely surprise once inside. The restaurant, the terrace overlooking Poole harbour and the rooms were all very spacious (we had 3 rooms)"
