We stayed one night in one of the 4 rooms upstairs. We arrived late and the instructions to let ourselves in worked well. Great accommodation and breakfast/coffee in the morning. Good feel to the whole place.

Not just a boutique guest house, Cafe Guesthouse 34 is also a friendly, family-run cafe serving the best coffee in Poole town. There's delicious cakes and a freshly prepared menu as well - so there's always something new to tempt your taste buds. Recently Cafe Guesthouse 34 has also become the coolest retro gift shop around. If you are looking for a unique 'not-on-the-high-street' present for a loved one - pop in and browse the shelves - the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a sit down, a coffee and cake too.

What a pleasant surprise! Very neat and tidy. Freshly painted and renovated. Welcoming. Great breakfast. Very chatty staff. Good location in centre of town, but surprisingly quiet after 11pm. Nearby eateries and pubs. Public car park within 100 yards. Staircase a bit torturous. So book first floor rooms! We will stay again when in Poole.

A wonderful little cafe; great coffee, lovely cakes and a really chilled (not cold ) atmosphere. The service was excellent too. Just what it said on the window for passers-by to read. A place you must visit if you're in Poole. Thanks Coff No 34

Excellent place to stay. Just imagine, you will be actually living in a cafe! Well, in a room of course, above the cafe. Rooms are nice and clean, location is perfect. And if you decide to go there, please say hello to Mike, he is a very good cook and he'll make you feel at home :)
