Would stay again
Good value for money & nice old-pub atmosphere. Room simple and in need of some TLC but OK. If you are bothered by noice through flooring (pub below) and walls (snoring neighbour) - choose other place. Great breakfast. Pleasant walking area city centre.

Not great
Lovely staff, they are a credit to the hotel. Not a nice hotel though, poorly furbished rooms, dirty and very loud in the room. Needs a proper refurbishment

Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Food was very good and the bedroom we occupied was comfortable.
We had a dog with us and he enjoyed the special attention and treats also.
Would definitely stay again.

Right on High Street, the location is most central possible with access to town and ferry. Check in was smooth, room was clean, comfortable, even quiet.

No hot water = no ability to shower
Friendly staff and a reasonably comfortable room but no hot water for our entire stay. Staff told us on arrival but said they were waiting for an plumber. Later we were told they couldnt fix it and as such, no hot water was available. We were unable to have a shower either on arrival after a 6hr drive or the following morning. Extremely disappointed.

The staff was great! The room was so-so.
It was a basic room (hotel is old) but clean and close to the ferry dock and train station, both were about a 15 minute walk. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. We were there only long enough to eat and spend the night as we were making our way from Guernsey to London.

Good location, great staff, but rooms average
Good location, just 50m or so from the Quay front, great staff allround, but room was ok, but adequate only, for price charged. Dog friendly, which was critical for us, but £10 surcharge charged.
Lack of hotel parking wasn't too much of an issue as large multistorey within c.400m, but does add any £10 cost to the visit

The property is in an ideal location for Poole Quay. It was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful although not around a lot. The only drawback is having no parking, but we parked for the duration of three days in the Poole Quayside car park which was close by, and were able to pre-book a space. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we'll hopefully make a return visit next year.

I have stayed at the Antelope 3 times in total over the years.
The food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. Hotel is looking like it needs a bit of TLC in the rooms. facilities are dated, radiators rusty, paintwork and carpets need work.

Friendly Hotel
We had a lovely holiday in Poole, The Antelope Hotel is well placed for the quay, not the best for the older generation as there was a lot of stairs and no lift, I think the hotel needs an up grade, the staff were all lovely and friendly, and you could not fault the food, lovely garden, lively area,and they do allow dogs.
