Charming historical character, but noisy air conditioning disturbed my sleep.

Loved the opulent decor and the relaxing bar area. The mini bar extras were a great touch, and the rainforest shower was bliss after a long walk!

perfect spot for exploring parks and historic sites

I loved how conveniently close the beautiful Borough Gardens were for an afternoon stroll, and the excellent service and friendly staff made my stay truly enjoyable.

Charming, charming, charming.

I absolutely loved the cozy bar area, perfect for savoring craft cocktails after a day of exploring. And can we talk about the dining? Fresh, local ingredients made every meal a delightful experience!

The King'S Arms boasts charming period interiors and splendid decor. it's such a delight! The accessible bar area makes it easy for everyone, and the inviting atmosphere just wrapped me in warmth. Truly a lovely spot.

It wasn't exactly cheap but still quite reasonable.

an unforgettable stay with phenomenal service and the best breakfast ever at the king's arms in dorchester

Exceptional breakfast, warm staff.

It was just a commendable fit for shopping in Dorchester with excellent value for money. The bed was very comfortable, which was a nice surprise. Request a room away from the kitchen exhaust to avoid morning noise.

Charming historical character permeates the building, with period interiors that add a cozy, inviting feel. The large sash windows in the room let in ample natural light, enhancing the atmosphere.

First impressions bring a rather dark and dismal feel—overpowering dark paintwork and low lighting might create a moody ambience, but it felt more oppressive than atmospheric. The room's temperature control could use some work. on a hot day, it was stifling without air conditioning, and the sash window wouldn’t stay open. Noisy disturbances from below made for restless nights, and the shower’s water drainage left something to be desired with a pesky, small hand basin. the menu lacked variety, especially vegetarian options, which could disappoint those with specific dietary needs.
