Top Poole Old Town Hotel Reviews

Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"."

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."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a perfect location, walking distance from everything you need and the beach too. Staff were pleasant, even though it was clear they were very short staffed, the made sure everyone was happy. Car park on site is also open to the public and small, we were lucky to get a space on a bank holiday. Parking in Bournemouth is scarce and can be expensive keep this in mind when travelling. The room was lovely, we were up in the rafters so did have to climb some stairs, worth booking an accessible room if you cannot do steps. We stayed during a heatwave, it was unbearable outside in the sun, I would recommend more parasols were needed. We were thankful for the AC in the bedroom, this really helped us cool down and get a good sleep. The food was the only slight let down, although they only had one chef in the kitchen that day. The pasta was a bit boring, I have no idea if this is the standard though. The mussels were a tiny portion, ordered a main but looked like a starter. I did question the size with the waiter and he said that’s the normal portion, barely filled half a pot. Overall we would definitely stay again, we didn’t get chance to use the pool or spa so nest time we will definitely book in for treatments."

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!"

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."
