Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

We only stayed one full day, and I will say there is a lot to see and do so a couple days is reccomended. The beach was nice, with some great restaurants and options for bars in town. It is an old town, and there are some areas that could use restoration, but it has a certain charm. Everywhere we went the people were freindly.

Fav place: Hotel Celebrity and Citygate Bournemouth which is HIGHLY suggest
Food: Franco Manca, Asda Deli Counter, Spoons, 7 Bone Burger, McDonalds, Caffe Neros
Places to avoid: Bus stop outside Asda and Citygate, there was a punch-up
Location is the best location near beach and Bournemouth centre or garden. My room was on top floor family room which was nice but the lift was out of order I have to take my luggage up to the top floor, The staff was too busy to help me. The room was a bit small in size despite of three people. The price is a bit overprice it is more than the 4-star hotel price.
The hotel was overall very clean and refurnished with british lovely decoration.
The staff was kind enough.
if the price is lower I will come again.
Thank you
Spacious apartment with all needed facilities available-like kitchen, utensils, washing machine, dishwasher, etc. Apartment is quite spacious. Boscombe Beach is quite close by car, while Bournemouth is slightly away but still nearby. It was great to have Netflix that kept kids occupied/happy while at the apartment, though we were out most of the time as we were lucky to have good weather in October.
Hotel reception guy was very welcoming and polite. Room was very spacious and clean. Location is defo the best thing literally a 2 min drive from the beach! I read the reviews for the hotel after I booked and I really was dreading checking in but I wouldn’t trust any of them because the hotel was actually lovely. Yes its dated but it’s nice. You get what you pay for.
I liked the eco credentials especially the room fan and being offered a summer sheet, the staff were very welcoming and helpful, the plentiful water and nice biscuits in the room.
The location is ideal for me, near the buses and the beach
Food in the restaurant delicious and different and the best coffee at any hotel in Bournemouth for breakfast!
Lovely surroundings of the interior , helpful friendly staff, good breakfast clean room and hotel .great facilities free parking free tea and coffee served in the lovely lounge .great location for beaches , around a 20 min walk to Bournemouth f.c ground .. perfect for us Great price . Thank you for a lovely stay ,
The hotel is located close to the beach and near to one of the best fish and chips shop in Bournemouth. The kids loved the pool - amazing! I enjoyed the water aerobics class so a win win from us. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home. Will definitely return next year.
Location was good, close to the seafront and only a small walk to the main Bournemouth centre and pier.
Initial thoughts were the hotels decor had been modernised but closest inspection. Cobwebs in corners, paintwork required touch ups, stained carpets.
Hotel was lovely and clean and staff were very accommodating, hotel has a vending machine for middle of the night needs but is also were served by being very close to shops and town, while also being close to beach.
It has its own parking space. Ground floor. Easy to relax there compared to a hotel. Good kitchen. Nice bathroom. Good instructions from the host. Close to the beach, a small supermarket, a pub and some restaurants.
The hotel is very welcoming with its own character. Our room was spacious and warm. The staff were friendly and approachable. Parking is good and it’s a beautiful walk to reach Bournemouth or the beaches.
The hotel is a great location and I had a wonderful view of the beach from my room. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. I ate dinner and breakfast there which was lovely.
This is our fourth stay. We don't stay anywhere else in Bournemouth. The Indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi are lovely after a day at the beach. Great location. Comfortable clean hotel.
Nice hotel but a bit worn. The room was a great size with a nice, clean bathroom. Breakfast was okay. Location is very convenient for Bournemouth city centre and staff were friendly.
Location as it was very near to beach - 3~4 mins walk
Flat itself as it was very decorative and fews inhouse games
Value for money as it was cheaper than other available hotels
