Top Southbourne Hotel Reviews

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bright despite being a budget room. The only criticism is there were no toiletries in the bathroom when we arrived and we only got some on day 2. Breakfast was OK but very short staffed. Most items ran out quickly and took a while to replenish. We have been coming to this hotel for years and noticed the decline in service this time. The one great constant was the lovely swimming pool and the lifeguard manager who is always friendly and super helpful."

The Durley Dean Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A perfectly placed hotel for exploring Bournemouth beaches. The restaurant was nice not huge selection but nice and freshly cooked. Breakfast was a good mix. Staff were fantastic. Especially Holly at front desk- she was so friendly and kind. Gave us tips to get to the best part of a beach nearby saving us loads of time and stress. Helped us get extra pillows for the room. The superior room was really lovely , clean and air conditioned was perfect for heat wave ! Will def stay here again when we return to Bournemouth"

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

6/10 Okay

"Outside of hotel very shabby, inside looked a lot nicer. No facilities such as catering and spa etc all had to used at their sister hotel next door. Offered sea view room at additional cost, which we did not require. When we got to our room it had a sea view anyway. Room was a good size and clean and comfortable. Parking on site offered as available on arrival yes parking available at £20 per day, no fee was mentioned in the advert, so would have been nice to know in advance, no reduction for guests staying at hotel…"

Royal Bath Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Terrible room - stuck in the 'Russell Wing' which was like a dungeon. Below street level, noisy, dated and chipped furniture, no full length mirror, small room and very disappointing for almost £200 for 1 night. Nauseating smell from the corridor outside. Buffet breakfast so-so with cheap processed bread, cheap beans and awful coffee. Only received 2 stars because of its views across the bay. Cannot recommend. Wish we'd chosen anywhere else."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location with a seafront view and within walking distance of the town centre. The staff were extremely helpful — even though we arrived at midnight, they still did their best to help us find a parking space and guide us to our room. Very impressive service! The elegant décor reflects Marriott’s quality and standards beautifully. Thank you — we will definitely come back if we travel to Bournemouth again."
