Best Western Wessex Royale Hotel Dorchester

The staff were very helpful. They helped me to bring the heavy luggage upstairs no matter check-in and check-out. The reception ladies were cheerful and very nice. I will come again and recommend to my friends.

Nice market town. Visit on Wednesday for market. Great choice for breakfast, full English, fruit, pastries. Always choose the smoked salmon.

很滿意，下次會繼續預訂

I absolutely loved this hotel. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to visit here again. The hotel is very elegant and pretty. I was also allowed to eat my takeaway in the dining room and they provided the plates and cutlery. Such nice people.

I've stayed at this elegant hotel numerous times during the last few years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience for many reasons. There is always a warm and friendly welcome when you arrive (thank you Caroline). The staff are excellent and work hard to ensure you enjoy your stay. Beautiful, cosy bedrooms and bathrooms, a relaxing lounge bar to enjoy an aperitif before going out for dinner, and delicious breakfasts in the morning. Sadly, I have discovered that this week is the final week of the breakfast service. So, from next week, you will have to go out to find a cafe or pub for your breakfast, which will be very inconvenient when you have a busy schedule ahead, particularly if it's raining outside! A big 'thank you' to the lovely staff for all the good times I've spent at the Best Western Wessex Hotel as I say "goodbye" to Sleeping Bear Hotel. I am very sad to say that I will be staying elsewhere in future because, like many others, I value the convenience of enjoying breakfast in-house.

A very good place to stay. The building itself is elegant and somewhat Regency in appearance. We liked our room; the staff were unfailingly helpful and welcoming; and it is right in the centre of the town. There is also a comfortable lounge with bar on the ground floor. There is a small car park at the back, which is first come, first served. If you are unlucky in not finding a space there, there is a (pay and display) car park just a few minutes walk away. We would happily recommend this hotel, and, if we are passing through Dorchester again, we know now just where to stay. There is no restaurant in the hotel itself (although we enjoyed their breakfasts), but there are many places to eat within easy walking distance. For those with mobility issues, the main hotel rooms are up somewhat steep staircases, but there are ground floor rooms at the back, and we did see another party which included someone in a wheelchair, who was clearly being well looked after.

We had a 3-night stay and couldn't fault it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, our room (202) was spacious with a bath and a shower, the lounge was comfortable and the breakfast choice was excellent. I was concerned about the traffic noise as we overlooked the main street and I am a light sleeper but I didn't have to use my ear plugs. We were fortunate enough to secure a space in the small car park but could see there was street parking close by. An added bonus: immediately across the road is a bus stop, where the number 10 can take you into Weymouth. Dorchester has lots of history and is worth a visit, more so if you are a fan of Thomas Hardy. The shopping street, within an easy walk of the hotel, has some independent shops, as well as national chains. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

The Hotel is absolutely spot on. The staff are friendly and very efficient. The rooms are fantastic, and the breakfast, second to none. The things to do around Dorchester are extremely interesting. Would certainly recommend a visit to the Roman Townhouse and the Tutankhamen exhibition.
