"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."

"Late online-booking led to some issues with the location end parking nearby. Which was professionally and friendly solved by the staff. The room was rather small for two. Though the bathroom was OK and clean. The hotel has an historical flair and still many original features. Breakfast was plenty een very good. We stayed for one night."

The Jubilee Hotel West- with Spa Facilities

10/10 Excellent
"The room was a good size, we had a family room for 5. The room was clean and tidy and good amenities in the room itself. The best aspect was the seaview which was fantastic helped by some good October weather. We didn't use the bar much as we were visiting relatives who live in Weymouth - but it looked good with plenty to do. The best thing about staying in the older hotels on the front is access to the beach/Weymouth centre, room size and view. Overall very happy with the hotel and the price. Would definitely stay again - thanks."
