The welcome from Steve was friendly, the decor and furnishings were great, as was the sea view from the 1st floor front bedroom. The continental breakfast was lovely.

Shame the bathroom was a bit on the pokey side, especially the sink being very small. No choice of hot breakfast (apart from porridge). Traffic (road sweeping trucks, buses, and motorbikes) and late night/early morning drunks made getting a good night's sleep tricky, even though earplugs were provided, I personally don't like sleeping with them in my ears.

Owner ("Steve the Narrator") was readily available and extremely helpful and pleasant. The room was large, clean and felt/looked new. Hotel itself was quiet and peaceful. Location was outstanding... it's a stone's throw from the sandy beach and yet the same distance from all the shops and cafes and a few car park options. Steve gave me a key which allow coming and going whenever I pleased. Would definitely recommend for solo or family travelling, and I look forward to staying again.

From the initial booking & throughout the stay, everything was as expected & beyond. Steve, greeted us at the door, took our cases up to the room, then told us the story of how Chapter 1 came into being. We only booked an overnight stay, to catch a coach early next morning, so booked room only. We were in ‘The 39 Steps’ no view so expected basic, how wrong could we be? The room was beautifully decorated & extremely comfortable. The library/ breakfast room is delightful, full of artefact’s & the walls look like the most beautiful library. We will definitely be staying again & definitely for longer.

Absolutely nothing to dislike!

Great welcome, lovely Jo Malone scent throughout. Eclectic style boutique hotel . Super clean , spacious room. Our room was called Great Expectations & we had the book in our room. Cute hotel and right on the sea front & next to shops & restaurants. Super location . would stay again.

The scent throughout was lovely however just a bit too much a night time, could smell it in our room .. its very strong. I love the scent but if you didn't it could put you off . Tone it down a little & all would be perfect ! Air condioner system was good however we were either hot or cold so if staying longer would have checked how to work it lol. Only there 1nt.

The location was prime. Great view of the beach in the “Paris library”, and we spent a lot of time there writing. Steve put a lot of care into making breakfast for the guests. The croissants were the best that I’ve tried. I am not used to waking up early in the morning (the breakfast ends at 9:30) but the breakfast was worth it and got me up and going early in the day.

Our room was a bit too small and next time we visit I’d definitely opt for a bigger room. It can also be quite noisy being close to the street especially on weekend nights.

On arrival we arrived early to check in and we received a very warm friendly welcome from Steve. Steve is the narrator of Chapter 1 Hotel He was genuinely interested in who we were where we had travelled from and what had bought us to Weymouth. Steve was happy to accommodate our early check in showed us to our room and explained everything to us. I chatted about my food allergy with gluten, Steve offered me an extensive list of GF items that he could prepare for me for breakfast. Absolutely amazing 🤩 Our room name (The Italian job) was perfect with nice touches. Chilled water & fresh milk is kept in a fridge to take to the room. Our room was perfectly clean very comfortable bed beautiful bathroom large fluffy towels , toiletries. We look forward to visiting again soon

Nothing to report

From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by such a welcoming host and the place smelt amazing like we had come to a spa. Beautiful decor with such attention to detail. Bed was so comfortable and everything was so clean. En-suite was nice and spacious. Great location to the high street and beach. Parked car at the train station so not too far to walk maybe 5 minutes. Breakfast was lovely where we felt it was very personal. Lots of stairs to our room but this was no bother to us it made the hotel feel more unique. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Nothing

The breakfast was good - there was plenty to eat without being excessive I liked the uniqueness and quirkiness of the hotel - so individual with interesting bits and pieces wherever you look

If I’m being extremely fussy I’d say the slightly perfumed air - I know though that’s just because I don’t like perfume of any kind. I don’t think most people would be fussy and would actually enjoy the fragrance

We arrived to great customer service and a very clean room and bath. I appreciated the self serve coffee in the morning, outlets by the bed and a mirror on the closet door for makeup and hair. The bathroom was well designed with comfortable towels and shampoo and soap. Bed was comfortable, especially with AC available. Location was across the street from the beach.

Noise from outside. Weymouth was a busy beach town and bar was outside our window. Room was small and hard to navigate around for two people. No lift available for luggage.

Nice small boutique hotel which was newly renovated and very nicely decorated. Lovely downstairs "Paris library" room and the breakfast was delicious with superb coffee. Steve "the narrator" is charming and overall we had a great stay, The room was very comfortable with a superb view of the sea. The AC worked well and the bed was comfortable and shower hot and powerful.

Nothing. A little tricky to stop in a car outside to drop off stuff but this is covered in detail on the hotel website so follow the instructions and all is good.
