We arrived in Dorchester late on bank holiday Sunday on the way to Cornwall from Gatwick by chance. Having had little success throughout the day with RAC and many other problem causing delays on the way to an interview, we were 3 very tired adults. On arriving at the Wessex Royale, we were told that unfortunately the hotel only had... More

This time I had one of the courtyard rooms, which are slightly larger than those in the main hotel. Very comfortable and warm, even though it was bitterly cold and snowing outside! Very good en-suite. the few steps to the hotel is no problem, and as usual the breakfasts were excellent. Very pleasant staff too.

Stayed at this hotel for one night, last minute. Staff very helpful and friendly, car park small but we managed to get a space. Bar area nice, open fire, but drinks very pricey! Breakfast was nice, good selection and service, although restaurant was a bit dated, as was our room. It was a shame because the public areas were quite... More

Lovely room overlooking the historic high street. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent cooked breakfast. Car parking spaces at the rear of the hotel are limited, but parking on the street is easy and free after six and all day Sunday. There is a very quiet and comfortable lounge room on the first floor, ideal reading.

Arrived for a wedding with a tight schedule and I was treated to great, intelligent service. Had a snug room for the night and left feeling pleased if deeply hungover from the night's celebrations. Recommend highly

Stayed for two days at this hotel,the bedroom was lovely, very clean. with a lovely soft bed, we were on the first floor overlooking the main road,a little traffic noise. The food was good and the staff very helpful...However the parking at the back was alittle tight.
