Laguna Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Easy check in with very friendly staff. It was perfect for what we needed, a quick get away close to the beach and they had a pool, garden and parking. "
Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla
2/10 Terrible
"I booked a two-night stay, arriving on the 20th, with check-in scheduled for 4:00 pm. I have been a loyal customer of this hotel for many years, dating back to its time under the Hallmark brand and later the Menzies Hotel Group, and I continued to stay regularly until the COVID period, and one visit prior to this since, I do understand covid change their hospitality business but noting should have effected general running and courtesy
On this occasion, I booked through Hotels.com as it was an affordable short break. This stay was particularly important to me, as it was intended to give me the chance to get out of the house and gently improve my mobility following recent knee surgery. After a long period of recovery, this short break meant a great deal to me both physically and mentally.
Given my long-standing history with the hotel and the personal circumstances surrounding this visit, I felt it was important to share this context with you.
When my partner and I arrived at approximately 3:50 pm, we entered the hotel before unloading our luggage, as we noticed that the car park was now managed by a private parking company. This was £20.00 per night which of course we paid without hesitance on line even though The hotel appeared completely empty, and our vehicle was the only one in the car park.
As we approached the building, everything gave the impression of being neglected and unwelcoming. i would like to send you full details of this horrendious experience"

Royal Bath Hotel
8/10 Good
"The fire alarm came on twice up until 12am. Very loud and unpleasant. Both times it was a false alarm but we had to go to the lobby to find out. "
Hilton Bournemouth
10/10 Excellent
"Great location for a trip to Bournemouth, moments away from the beach, it must be one of the closest hotels to the beach area.
Room was clean and just what we needed. It was great that our children had beds each rather than having to share a sofa bed.
The hotel had a nice lobby bar area, we didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that.
We made use of the pool which was lovely to have for our stay
"
The Norfolk Royale Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Nice place, the staff is very friendly but with breakfast they need to be better"
