3-Sterne-Hotels in Dorset, Vereinigtes Königreich

I was here for the first time a month ago. I enjoyed my stay here so I came back a month later. I booked for a single room but when I arrived the hotel upgraded it to a double room. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful. I enjoyed using the shower. It was a good shower with the right amount of pressure. I used this hotel to visit the beach. It is a short walk to the beach and is in a good location. The staff are very nice.

The place could do with a lick of paint and I found it odd that my room was cleaned/replenished one day and not the other but the staff were nice and happy to attend to requests. The room was comfortable for a few nights and the hotel is just a short walk from the high street and beachfront.

The hotel is undergoing refurbishment. We had a family room which was beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good. We used the pool which is quite dated and small for the size of hotel but a nice bonus. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. We will definitely will be back again. The hotel has a lot of families staying there, would be nice to do a early evening disco/ something for the children to make use of the empty bar area

We recently stayed here as a family of four and found the superior room much smaller than expected. It felt quite cramped for a family, and the bathroom was also very small. The hotel is quite expensive for what it offers. The regular price is around £230 per night, which I don't think is good value. I booked it on a deal for £170, but even at that price, it still felt overpriced. Another disappointment was the air conditioning. Even when set to the lowest temperature (16°C), the room never became properly cold. On top of that, we were constantly disturbed by heavy footsteps from the room above, waking us up every couple of hours around 12am, 2am, 4am, and 6am, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. No fridge at the same time which other hotels cheaper have. We also had an issue with the toilet, which wouldn’t flush throughout our stay. This was a major inconvenience and should have been fixed promptly. On the positive side, the front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The swimming pool was also clean and well maintained. Overall, while the service and pool were good, the small room, tiny bathroom, ineffective air conditioning, noise issues, and high price made the stay disappointing.

Double sea view room with balcony. Spacious bedroom with nice seating area. Clean and in good decorative order. Comfy bed, quality linen. Wonderful, original metal-framed window and French door opening out onto huge balcony. Unfortunately, the sea view tuned out to be when looking left from the end of the balcony and not from the actual bedroom. Kettle needed descaling. Bathroom well appointed, nice towels and quality Elemis toiletries, but would benefit from a really thorough deep clean and a lick of paint. Absolutely fabulous public rooms, not ‘dated’, as some reviews suggest, but furniture and fixtures appropriately in keeping with the style and period of the building. Wonderful! Beautiful outdoor pool area and indoor spa. Lots of outdoor seating areas. Extensive woodland to the rear of the hotel. Just a few minutes walk to Knoll Beach, through the hotel’s extensive grounds (which includes tennis courts and a golf course) just over the road. Absolutely no information provided about any of these brilliant amenities, or indeed anything at all, in our bedroom. Also, no information about Wi-Fi, no information about breakfast times, no information about how to even contact Reception on the telephone provided in the room … The food at the evening meal was exceptional but was let down by the very slow service as staff focused on setting tables for the following day’s breakfast - which turned out to be so disappointing that it was hard to believe that both meals had originated from the same kitchen.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The location is perfect — close to everything I needed, with easy access to public transport and local attractions. The room was spotless, and the entire hotel was very well maintained, which made my stay feel even more comfortable. What really stood out was the staff — everyone I encountered was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Reception and Breakfast staff very helpful. As others say it does strike a good match between value and price. Room and bathroom v. clean. Rooms are actor/celebrity themed with a few pics of the star in question on the walls (clue is in the name). Breakfast is a buffet arrangement and fine. Probably, as we stayed over the weekend, it was a bit noisy with groups returning to the hotel at night but this had been advised when booking and it is Bournemouth. Location great for getting onto the beach and is near the eastern end of the town centre. About 10 mins walk from train station. A  small Asda is located nearby as part of gas station for basics.  

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt mit meinem Freund. Das Hotel war schön, spotless, und hatte eine so ruhige, entspannende Atmosphäre – perfekt für einen romantischen Pause. Das Personal war warm und willkommen, und die Lage war ideal, nur einen kurzen Spaziergang zu allem, was wir brauchten. Von dem schönen Zimmer bis zum leckeren Frühstück, alles machte unser Aufenthalt wirklich besondere. Wir würden sicher lieben, zurückzukommen!

Der Service ist außergewöhnlich. Ich war überrascht, dass man für die Aufbewahrung einer Tasche 4 Pfund bezahlen musste; es war das erste Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich für die Aufbewahrung einer Tasche bezahlt habe. Die Bar war morgens nicht geöffnet und ich habe keine Erfahrung mit dem Essen in diesem Hotel. Das Zimmer war sauber, der Empfang war ordentlich, die Flure waren nicht besonders gepflegt. Das Zimmer hat alles, was Sie brauchen. Der Ausblick aus dem Fenster war nicht schön, aber für eine Nacht war es ok und es war ruhig. Es gibt einen kleinen Pool, alles ist sauber. Die Lage hat mir sehr gut gefallen, denn rund um das Meer und in der Nähe des Meeres gibt es viele Pinien, fernab vom Trubel der Stadt. Nicht ideal, aber durchaus akzeptabel. Das Personal half bei der Lösung aller Probleme.

Ja “Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt im Herzen von Lyme Regis” klingt ein wenig wie eine Werbekopie. Ich hätte aus Ihrer tatsächlichen Erfahrung öffnen können: Ich hatte wirklich meinen Aufenthalt im Royal Lion genossen. Die Lage hätte nicht besser gewesen sein können, mit der Seefront nur einen kurzen Spaziergang und charmanten Bücher und kleinen Geschäften direkt außerhalb des Fensters. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, gemütlich und schön mit einem Meeresthema dekoriert, das Lyme Regis perfekt passte. Aufwachen bis zum Klang der Seegurte am frühen Morgen machte der Aufenthalt noch besonderer und romantisch. Das Highlight war sicherlich das Frühstück. Es gab ein Buffet sowie eine Auswahl von frisch zubereiteten Hauptgerichten, und alles, was ich versuchte, war lecker. Das Frühstückszimmer selbst war absolut schön und voll von Charakter, so dass jeder Morgen das Gefühl, als Teil der Erfahrung statt nur ein Essen. Die Mitarbeiter waren auch warm, freundlich und willkommen im gesamten Aufenthalt, und ihre Gastfreundschaft machte mich sehr bequem. Große Lage, schöne Atmosphäre, komfortable Zimmer, wunderbare Gastfreundschaft und ein ausgezeichnetes Frühstück. Ich würde glücklich im Royal Lion auf meinem nächsten Besuch in Lyme Regis wieder aufhalten.
