Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff were very helpful and friendly, pool was on the small size with a section roped off for swimming lessons but clean. Room was very large however the sofa which doubles as a bed was disgusting with crumbs and Lego inside. The walls also had multiple dirty marks on. There wasn’t a good selection of toiletries which for a spa hotel was disappointing. Breakfast was good with a nice selection on offer. I would stay again"

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Laguna hotel is a very unique setup, and it does feel like going back in time when you are there. But it's very honest, clean and friendly. It is also very well located for accessing shops and restaurants and is great value."

The Green House

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to find, lovely staff welcomed us & the room was great, nice and modern had a good hot powerful shower, comfy bed & a full length mirror. Everything we needed for a one night stay. We walked back from the Nici which took about 20 minutes but it was a lovely warm evening."

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good

"I liked that the Property had big spacious rooms. Breakfast was great. It had clean towels and linen. They need to work on cleaning the bathroom tiles. The staff was friendly (most of them). There was no bar fridge which was a downside for me. I like having cold water and drinks. The TV was not working and they fixed it quickly. Overall it's a good hotel, I would book it again."

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I found this hotel charming. Bit frayed around the edges - bathroom dated and whole place could do with a makeover. However the views, location and staff were outstanding and I would definitely go back again"

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"The view of the harbour is why you stay here and it doesn’t disappoint- just stunning. Locals and visitors flock to the outside terrace to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the harbour. We ate at the restaurant and both food and drinks were good but our dinner order was misplaced so we waited 75 minutes between starter and main. As an apology we weren’t charged. The room looked a bit tired and in need of a refurb but it was clean and the bed was comfy. We also had a view of the harbour (free upgrade). Staff was friendly but service is a bit chaotic - the staff lack set routines and need some training. The breakfast was tasty."

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"For the price paid, there are no complaints. But my goodness, this is now a 2-star hotel in a very old 5-star building. But great location, lots of character. The buffet food was basic."

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly and helpful."

THE NICI Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, food and rooms. Spa and facilities are great"
