We had a perfect stay at 1777 The Albion. Our room was beautifully decorated and when we arrived the radio was playing music of the period which was a lovely touch. The location was perfect for us. We had breakfast in the Olive branch which was very good. The staff were really friendly but the only negative was the service was very slow but we weren't in a hurry.

There are not many places to stay in Wimborne. This is probably the best. Don’t expect elevators or lots of modern conveniences here. This is a 16th century hotel with narrow staircases and our room had beamed ceilings and a copper bathtub. What is great is that it is right in the won center and has enough free and secure parking so you don’t need to use a public carpark.

As a business traveller I won't be staying here again.
No food available on site, breakfast or evening meal.
It required a 5 mins walk around a couple of corners to a sister venue for evening meal and breakfast the following morning. Okay on a fine day, but not good in bad weather.
as a business traveller it was a waste of time.
No mention of this issue on the Hotels.com website listing, otherwise I would have passed it over.
Bigger issue was no effective desk to use my laptop at, but worse still, absolutely no wifi signal anywhere within the confines of my room, room 4.
Could only pick it up out in the courtyard, and as there was nowhere else in the building accessible where I could have sat (bar or restaurant) then I could not effectively complete any work (yet another waste of my time)
Okay venue for accessing the centre of Wimborne on a social visit, but useless as a business traveller.

As advertised, this is a room only (with breakfast available at the nearby sister pub, which we didn't have), right in the centre of Wimborne. The room was clean, the king-sized bed very comfortable, a good shower and a friendly welcome at the little reception desk. It isn't (& doesn't purport to be) a hotel with a bar etc as 1 or 2 previous reviewers evidently expected it to be.

Stayed in room 3 which is accessed from outside. The room was extremely small with just enough toom to walk round the bed. The bed was very large and comfy. I slept well. The excessive cushions and pillows along with lots of other decorative bits and pieces (short stories, animal door stop, area info etc) cluttered the room further. Whilst I was travelling alone, 2 people would struggle in this room. My case had to go in the corner on the floor making it difficult to walk around. Even the table was a drop leaf to save space. It was also dark- insufficient lighting including in the bathroom. All this plus lots of paintings and decor made it quite claustrophobic. The tea and coffee provision was nice. Hairdryer stopped working mid dry and no receptionist on hand. Breakfast was a 3 min walk outside to the restaurant. This was fine for me, if somewhat inconvenient in general.
As i checked in after 6pm the receptionist had gone home so i was called up and told to collect my key at the restaurant. That went well. Breakfast was very good. Hot and cold selection.
Be aware the church is nearby and rings every 15 mins through both day and night. It wasnt too instrusive but may bother others.
Not somewhere I would rush back to though was convenient for my work.

a huge copper freestanding bath is in the room, room for two, such a delight! There is a rainfall separate shower in the bathroom too, handy for both of us getting ready at the same time. Large sea kelp toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash ,bubble bath etc.
Generous selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate & complimentary watercomplimentary eco- friendly.
Free car parking at the rear.
Hairdryer & a magified mirror with light ring to do makeup in .Fan and radiator in all rooms.
Staff friendly as always, so accommodating with late checkout, always appreciated!
Our room (7) unfortunately wouldn't connect to Internet, i believe there was an issue with our TV as neighbouring rooms had WIFI, we were kindly offered free breakfast as a goodwill gesture due to this.
Always a pleasure to stay at the Albion, i will always stay here when visiting the friendly town of wimborne.
Great location in the square, walking distance to Wetherspoons pub, the tivoli theatre, supermarket, restaurants etc, bus route & taxi rank are literally 30 seconds walk.
The beautiful church is opposite the albion, I've meant to visit it each time i stayed, maybe next time! Some folks complain of the bells, however if youre opposite a chirch, it should be expected! Some rooms it's noticeable, in our room it was not, though ear plugs are provided for those with sensitive hearing!
5* given, of course.

Gloriously Comfortable.

We know Wimborne quite well having family nearby and have often been intrigued by this interesting looking hotel in the town centre. The opportunity arose to spend a single night mid-week while attending a family event. We had a really comfortable stay, and left wishing we were staying longer. Others will moan about the Minster’s chiming bells through the night. I found it quite comforting and my wife used the complementary ear-plugs, and we both had an excellent night’s sleep in the gloriously comfortable bed.

Nice hotel, but very hot!

The room was lovely, really nice and very well presented. Bed was massive and really comfy. Staff were friendly and approachable. However, it was baking hot and with the building being old the windows weren’t massive so not much breeze. There was one small fan which didn’t really do much and neither of us slept well with being so hot the whole time, and being on the top floor our dog really struggled too. The tv wouldn’t work either, no internet connection so we couldn’t get any of the apps to work and no one could help us with it.

We did enjoy our stay, its was just tainted by a few things.

In the centre of Wimborne, really handy it has its own parking area (about 12 spaces but the pub around the corner owns the property and has plenty more if it is full). I had no problem finding a parking space.

Quite a long garden behind the parking area with garden furniture.

Rooms excellent, bed comfy and pillows better than five star hotels I have stayed at around the world.

Huge shower room. Rainfall shower and a handheld shower.

Massive selection of tea and coffee - really quite surprising. Nice glassware.

Nice little touches like a Robert’s DAB radio with built in clock which was turned on at a low volume when you walk in the room. Very welcoming.

USB sockets either side of the bed.

Some rooms are on the car park level however the whole area is very upmarket and quiet and I didn’t feel security was an issue at all.

There are rooms inside the building on a higher floor.

Seamless checkin, you drop your key off in a box on the wall near the small reception the day of checkout.

Breakfast if you want it is in the pub around the corner which you prepay for if not in the room rate when you check in.

Would certainly stay again.

I loved the copper bath, i had always wanted to stay in room 7 or 10, after visiting the first time.
The sea kelp toiletries were good too.
The room had a very comfy king size bed, with a decent firm mattress.
Helpful staff, very accommodating regarding a late checkout, which was hugely appreciated!
The Albion is in a great location, bang in the middle of the square, just a couple of minutes walk to the Tivoli.
If i were to share some constructive criticism, it would be lovely to have a mini fridge in the deluxe & Indulgence plus rooms, be a nice little touch, especially in the summer months, keeping drinks cool etc.
I'm very much looking forward to returning in October!
