Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Building and hotel were great. Very impressive. Staff were very helpful. Room was very clean and great services. Outdoor pool was very clean and warm with the weather. Breakfast seemed a bit unorganized. Bar was well stocked. Parking for guest was very limited and the parking lot was very small."

The Crown Manor House Hotel

8/10 Good

"When you arrive at the hotel you appreciate the history that lies within it. The Crown Hotel has a charming appeal ,and it's a traditional English hotel. The reception area is inviting with a large fire place that is historic, and next to it is a very inviting lounge also. There is a lift that is ( supposedly) the oldest in Europe! The bar in in the resturant is very nicely decorated, a good choice of wine, beers and spirit's, if you would like to have a tipple. The rooms are very clean, the bed was very comfortable, with a good night's sleep had. Bathroom compact but was very clean, shower or bath was great with lots of hot water, they provide hair and body wash if you forget yours. Breakfast is buffet style with a good choice and quality of food. The resturant again served very good quality food in the evening. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. There is a Garden area to relax in with enough seating for all, also within the lounges they provide board games, cards, chess should you have time on your hands or while away the time with a night cap ! Definitely recommend a stay at The Crown."

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel (which we’ve been to a few times now) Right on the lovely sandy beach m which is a big plus for us! Free parking available (but must remember to enter your registration at reception) Able to still use some Hotel facilities for the remainder of the day after 11am checkout. Friendly and polite staff throughout. Lift available Good choice of buffet breakfast & good choice of drinks at the bar. Upgraded to a larger room with living area - many thanks. Unfortunately couldn’t get the living room window to open, but staff were very amenable and supplied us with a fan & mini fridge (it was a particularly hot time) - again “thank you”. We will definitely be back soon."

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"Upside: SUPER friendly and helpful staff, nice bar. Good atmosphere. An amazing garden. Great location - easy walk to the beach. Quiet, despite being central. To manage your expectation: - The hotel is very old with squeaky wooden floors under the carpet… the furniture is from ages ago, too. If you are after luxury, forget about it. - The pool would be great in winter. For summer (particularly if there is a heatwave), it is way too warm! CAUTION: If you are booking one of the cheaper room options, call them and confirm your room will have a proper window."
