Top Bournemouth City Centre Hotel Reviews

The Orchid Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was a perfect place to stay before our flight. Great value for the price"

Marsham Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It has been a few years since we have stayed at Marsham Court Hotel due to the general price increases. However, after receiving a discount code, we quickly booked. The staff were absolutely fantastic! Helpful, friendly and sorted any query quickly and with a smile. They could not have been more helpful! The weather was very hot outside so they had near reception a big water urn with ice which they even let us fill up our own water bottles with. The amenities are fantastic. Infact the weather was so hot that the kids preferred the outdoor pool even to the beach! The hotel is across the road from the path leading down to the beach where the pier, shops and facilities are, so a fantastic location!"

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"Staff were welcoming and helpful. All meals were at the hotel next door, which was ok, but not if it was raining. Some food was expensive and not up to standard. Sandwich was 2 pieces of bread with some filling but no relish supposed to be included, just cut into 2, no salad etc £9."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was my 2nd stay here . Xmas & summer . Great location. Helpful friendly warm staff Air conditioning was just about ok in the room, but not outstanding . I wanted to eat by the sea view window and it was way too hot . I have 2 little dogs, only permitted to take dogs to the garden area fenced away out of sight of the pool. It would be nice if there was an allocated space by the pool that is dog friendly . So being a line traveller , I missed out ."

Bournemouth Carlton Hotel By Sunday

10/10 Excellent

"For a 3 star hotel thought excellent. Room was large. Had comfy bed, very clean, tea and coffee supplied. Had a large bath and shower. Hotel was opposite the beach and had a lovely outside pool. Breakfast was buffet style. Had fresh fruit , yogurts, cereals. Cooked breakfast, toast. All hot and very nice."
