This is a great place to stay, the room was amazing. Staff were brilliant. I two minor criticisms, and they didn't impact my stay but they could have. 1. Music from restaurant filtered up in the room, and didn't switch off until 11:45. When I first arrived in the room I thought it was a speaker in the room playing 'relax and welcome' music, but it wasn't it became more dancey as the night went on. 2. The road is a bit noisy - again this isn't the hotel's fault. The hotel is in an excellent location. I guess you get used to this!!

Not sure whether the Kings Arms is a Hotel with Bar and Restaurant or a Bar/Restaurant wih rooms. Whichever - it's a very pleasant place to stay in and eat at while in Christchurch. Situated in the nicest part of the town, opposite the ruins of the abbey and by a nice river walk down to the quay. My room was the largest available and was very well appointed. Lots of space, fridge, safe, full tea/coffee making facilities, nice bathroom, etc. Breakfasts were excellent, almost anything you could want was either laid out on the bar or available from the menu. I had one dinner there and it was delicious. Staff all friendly and helpful. Minor niggles: Freeview reception would cut out for minutes at a time, muzak from the bar seeped into my room (but was turned down in the evening when requested), not really a dedicated reception - more an extesion of the bar, church bells ringing the hours and quarter hours (I found it comforting but others might not!!!), overhead shower took many minutes to get hot (although bath and sink would come through hot immediately????). Minor issues. Would defintely stay there again or eat there if in town.

Lovely relaxing welcoming hotel
Came for 2 nights to celebrate birthday and had lovely stay. Stayed in room 101 which was very spacious with a comfortable large bed. Only down side was noise from traffic outside and also they emptied bottle bins at around 6am which was very loud. However, this didn’t stop us enjoying stay. All staff were very helpful and friendly (especially Charlotte in the restaurant who was lovely) Attention to detail was exceptional which included tasty tea and coffee, complimentary water in fridge and high class bedding.
