The place is scruffy and unwelcoming with peeling paint and broken exit gates that remain open and car park entrance. Inside the bar and restaurant areas the decor and fittings are tired and depressing. Our room was noisy being at the top of the stairs from the bar. I would have thought booked last year as I did we might have had a better room. It was like walking backwards into the 70/80s . fittings poor, decor poor, mattresses poor. The bathroom was even worse just very very dated and poor. On arrival we were advised the shower didn't work but gave us a key to use another room to shower in which was along several corridors, we didn't bother. This is my second complaint to Marston's in 3 days. I am on a visit from Spain. Always used your hotels before , standards have fallen, never again.You staff were wonderful, they deserve a better environment and the food was good

We actually really enjoyed our stay, the room was very clean, and the service was excellent, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The only drawback was in the decor in certain places within the interior as in some parts the wall paper has been torn and could do with freshening up, however the overall look of the premises is really good and we will definitely be returning in the near future.

I have stayed at the shah of persia twice now. Love the rooms. The staff are excellent. So friendly and can't do enough. Food is really good too.
Only thing I can say in a negative manner is that why is it not cheaper to book a room direct rather than booking. Com?

Perfect place for our weekend getaway. Great service from the staff team, good food and well presented rooms all for really competitive prices.Highly recommended.Top of our list was the breakfast which is great. Especially the service from the early team who managed to eclipse their later shift colleagues. Exceptional service from Carly who is a superstar and a worthy winner of the voucher for best service (even though she was so modest about her work).We really enjoyed our stay. Its really well located within walking distance of Poole Town centre.Highly recommended

Stayed for 4 nights at the hotel and had breakfast and dinner each day. We received a very warm welcome and were given a nice clean comfortable room. All the meals were top class, well cooked and presented. All the staff were friendly and attentive all the way down from the manager. The girl who serves at breakfast was really good. All the staff deserve some sort of recognition for a job well done and for being the face of Marstons, they made me feel as though they wanted me to be there. It was not just a job to them in which they could just do to the best of their ability and be recognised as being good, thet really appeared to care that I got the best out of your hotel. Thanks all for a job well done.
