OX Hotel, Bar, & Grill (Poole, United Kingdom)

The staff here is excellent, friendly and helpful. In fact, the sincerity of the staff appears to be the hotel’s greatest asset, along with cleanliness, according to reports.

With few exceptions, most guests here were impressed with the Wi-Fi, which works really well most of the time. The hotel is very clean and tidy and bathrooms are reportedly ‘spotless’.

The Ox is in an excellent location for guests who are travelling between Poole and Bournemouth. The location is also appreciated because of its proximity to shops and interesting local attractions.

Although the hotel has a restaurant, breakfast is charged extra and not included in the room tariff. It is reported that the breakfast here is great and that most guests found it very good value. Problems arise when guests are unaware that breakfast is no

The Ox is a busy pub and restaurant. There is quite a bit of noise in the premises until the pub closes at 11 pm. The street noise is also reported to be quite loud, and apparently the building can shake if a lorry goes by.

The pub car park is quite crowded and it is necessary to reverse a long way to get out, which can be inconvenient. A public car park is available across the road from the hotel, a much better parking option.
