Commodore Hotel Bournemouth by Greene King Inns

Southbourne

"An enjoyable 1 night stay in busy pub/hotel. Excellent position close to beach and a very reasonably priced bar. Small car park full mostly by beach walkers rather than guests, however street parking close by. We had a wonderful sea-view room. A few cons: building and rooms looking dated and tired, in need of a refresh. Would have made use of a fan as windows can only be opened slightly. A small fridge also to keep drinks cool would have been welcomed. Would stay again for certain."

THE NICI Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous modern Miami themed hotel the beds are super comfortable and Aircon which is very much needed this weekend. The staff was so friendly and helpful proper service with a smile and all very engaging. Fabulous view of the sea and a gorgeous pool. My only criticism was filling the kettle in the modern sink difficult !"

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."

ibis Styles Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, however no cleaner on the second day. Came while we were in the room and said she'll be back later, so we left to give space but came back to find no one ever came back... staff was friendly enough, maybe more communication would be nicer. Breakfast-very poor, not even 1 vegetable on offer, better eat out."

The Crown Manor House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had 3 rooms for 2 nights. The rooms were nice but a little on the smaller side for a double. All the rooms had slightly different arrangement. Two of the rooms had a shower in the bath and for some reason one of the rooms baths didn’t drain well, we informed the hotel but they were unable to sort the problem during the stay. We had a birthday celebration and eat in the hotel. Some of the food was excellent however it was not consistent across the meal. The tuna tartar was poor, 5 of us had it. We felt it was bland with little flavour. The Fish & Chips was nice although the chips were dry. My daughter loved her meal, she had the lamb. It a lovely old hotel and we generally enjoy the decor and travelling in the old lift. We would go back due to its location and generally charm. The staff are very nice although for some reason it doesn’t operate like a well oiled machine!"
