East Dorset District hotel guide. YHA hotel in East Dorset District, England

"Swapped out sea view room, sadly, but hotel had an old world charm and the hottest swimming pool I've ever been in. That's not necessarily a good thing unless you're someone that doesn't want to swim and then you're fine. Staff were warm and welcoming, lots of flash cars on the driveway. Really liked the look of the rooms by the pool. Breakfast was a bit busy and staff a little frazzled but pleasant. The wallpaper in the bar was amazing. Wonderful location, the higher the floor the better - if you're put on the first floor (like us) and not given the room you're booked, then you're clearly not an A-lister... :-). Room was wonderful."

"We have stayed in the Crown several times so were happy to re visit whilst touring the New Forest in ideal location. Helpful, cheerful staff made us welcome . Nothing to much trouble We declined an evening meal in hotel as we were meeting friends in town but breakfast was excellent wide choice available. The down side of our stay is that the hotel really now seemed "tired" appearance. Window frames paint flaking off the decor in our room (203) was "dated' in need of a refurb. Mould in bathroom / shower, mirror corroded etc For a De luxe room maybe guest bathrobes would be a welcome addition All in all we enjoyed our stay & would probably visit again and submit this review as our personal observations only In a competitive hotel industry attention to detail for the future is paramount "

"great place to stay"

"I loved my stay at Leonardo! Cosy room, beautifully decorated spaces, and a lovely staff. The location was perfect for me- a short cab or a meandering walk from the rail line, right across the street from stunning parks. My only complaint would be a few missed spills and stains in the room, but the core items, bed, shower, toilet, were perfectly clean and maintained."

"About the clean room some spiderwebs Not big deal, the rest all cleaned. About the Staff everyone 5 🌟 It's a fresh breakfast, but insufficient food for the price to pay. About the parking all good have plenty space. "

"Nice clean room, very comfortable bed. Staff were always polite and friendly and the breakfast was great. Will be back I am sure. "

"Ok stay."
