Wonderful

Room was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and good facilities including coffee machine.
Good choice and quality food at breakfast. Lovely to be able to sit out on the terrace with great views.
All members of staff were professional, helpful and friendly.
Would return.
Another stay at a Harbour Hotel; we do enjoy their offering. Consistently providing great service and a pleasant stay. The Jetty at Christchurch Harbour Hotel served an excellent meal and service - highly recommend the Jetty.
We loved our stay at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel! The location on the water was beautiful, the staff (especially Phillip) was so welcoming and helpful, and the food was delicious. A charming place to spend our last couple of days in England. Thank you!
The hotel and staff were excellent.
The room was of a very high standard.
The breakfast was very good but the evening menus could've bee better.
Over all stay was excellent and would
Highly recommend 👌

It was a small room and no air conditioner, but unfortunately the breakfast wasn’t very good! Very few things, The croissants were born, not to many varieties!
I thought he room we stayed in was very well designed and beautifully decorated.
I appreciated the free vodka, coffee and biscuits.
The bed was really comfortable.
The only problem was that the room was far too hot overnight, even though the radiators were not operating. However the was an electric fan provided, which helped considerably.
The staff were very polite and helpful and the continental breakfast was delicious.
The pool and leisure facilities were closed for refurb and the lounge area was quite small hence liw score for amenities...However,the staff were excellent and room comfortable.Delicious evening meal.....

We were very happy with the spotless room we stayed in.
Lovely quiet location, comfy room and great food. Bar staff very helpful.
Building works going on at the hotel and next door so we were disturbed in the morning by lorries but this is not the fault of the hotel
Hotel is in great location, unfortunately the spa was out of use and we didn’t realise until after we had booked room.
Breakfast is only continental, full breakfast no longer included, so room price is expensive.
Staff hassle for payment for breakfast as soon as you ordered breakfast instead of asking you at check in and adding it to your billl, felt more like a budget hotel, paying premium prices.

Loved staying here! Great facilities and very comfortable bed. Service was excellent too. Loved the little touches like the water and milk delivery in the afternoon. It was so good that we booked to go to another Harbour Hotel!
Lovely stay.
The hotel is perfect, on the seaside, rooms were comfortable, the continental breakfast satisfying and the dinner restaurant excellent.
The service was great too! The young ladies and gentlemen were very friendly and polite.
Room immaculate. Staff ALL excellent helpful welcoming and highly professional. The spa is being renovated but we knew this when we booked. Bar is well appointed and well staffed. This Hotel is a gem and the food in both restaurants (hotel and Jetty) is exceptional albeit a little pricey but that is life when you want quality.
Sadly the pool and spa were not open. I was unaware of this when I booked and I was told it was somewhere on my online booking platform if I’d scrolled right down to the bottom. The pool and spa were the main reason I booked this hotel as it was a very special treat for my partner and myself.as we have recently been through stressful times recently and needed a break.
