Top Swanage Hotel Reviews

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Me encantó todo, las instalaciones y el servicio"

Royal Bath Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. Parking costs £25 per day, which I found very expensive for guests staying at the hotel. The swimming pool also requires an extra charge of £5 per adult and £3 per child, which should really be included in the stay. In addition, children are only allowed to use the pool until 6 pm, which is quite restrictive for families. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. The quality of the food was very poor and there was very little variety. Overall, I do not feel the hotel offers good value for money and I would not stay here again."

The Durley Dean Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic time at the Durley Dean Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the absolute highlight was having access to the excellent spa and gym facilities—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the service was spot on from start to finish. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!"

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Area around hotel not the best. Glad we were not there at weekend, but hotel felt very secure. The locked, very expensive , underground parking. Lifts that required a room key to use them gave a good feeling of security. Good aircon , plenty of hot water and a comfortable bed made for a good stay. I judge a hotel on its towels and these were large, thick, very white bath sheets. 10/10 Breakfast was good with choice of hot and cold dishes, make your own waffles, and fruit. Very enjoyable. Price very reasonable. We would stay again."

Haven Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"I chose a budget room which was £144 per night. I stayed two nights over the Bank Holiday heatwave . There was a brick wall outside my window and only two of the windows would open a maximum of 3 inches. The bathroom window did not open and the fan was not working. It was wretched in the heat. You have to have the light on to see even in daylight. I was given a very basic fan . I asked to change my room the next day. It was inhumane to expect anyone to be in a room with no ventilation in that heat. I was told I could only go to the same room above mine with the same brick wall. I was offered a Dyson fan, taken from someone else’s room, but although it said it blew cold air there was none. The fire alarm went off 3 times the first night and at 4.40 in the morning the whole hotel was evacuated for an hour. It was a fault in the alarm system, a false alarm. I thought the swimming pool was lovely for the children . The breakfast was poor,if you didn’t eat cooked things. The cereal choices were mimimalist . Lunch was £16 a panini which wasn’t even that good, and the service was slow, considering they were ready made. A glass of wine was an eye watering £9 No I would not recommend this very tired hotel although the staff appeared to do their best . My sink was not cleaned and my toiletries not replaced after my first night. So I had to ask for these Very disappointed indeed."
