The Wessex Royale is a delightful Georgian hotel with an excellent location in the centre of Dorchester. It offers free WiFi.

The Wessex Royale is ideal for a relaxing break. The hotel was built in 1756 and its classic features include fireplaces, panelling and a magnificent grand staircase.

I stayed first in Room 111, which was very fine, with a view over the High St and a proper bath tub. It was spacious, well equipped and confortable. I liked the calm, efficient and customer-focused atmosphere of the hotel. The large common guest lounge on the ground floor was a real asset. After a few days, I was joined by a friend with mobiluity issues and we moved to two courtyard rooms. The rooms were not as fine as 111 but very practical with easy stepfree ground floor access to the car park. The hotel listened to and accommodated our mobility needs. Very pleasant staff. My favourinte Dorchester hotel in its class (and 111 is my favourite hotel room). Bus stops to a number of destinations around and a bit further from Dorchester were pretty right outside (or just opposite) the hotel so this hotel and it was on the high street and close to facilities (but I wasn't at all disturbed by street noise).

    We arrived and check in was very easy.The room and bathroom were lovely and the bar and restaurant had a great atmosphere.It was really nice to sit outside and have a few drinks in the fine sunshine. Evening meal was good and for starter, main, desert and bottle of wine the cost was very reasonable. Continental Breakfast the following morning was excellent.
