8/10 Good
"This was our second stay at 'Hampton By Hilton' which is an adjacent hotel to the main Hilton Hotel in Bournemouth. The hotel and room was very modern and clean, and the staff very helpful and professional. The bathroom was a highlight, with a new, very modern shower enclosure and nice tiling. The room was spotlessly clean. What was not quite so good was the hard mattress (my wife didn't mind) and the inadequate Horizon run parking next door. Both times we have stayed, the smallish car park has been packed, so we had to use a parking bay in the EV section, but the hotel staff OK'd us to do that. Please note the Hilton and Hampton hotels are located on a very steep hill, with many steps, so is unsuitable for people with physical disabilities or limitations."

Grand Hotel Swanage

Grand Hotel Swanage

8/10 Good
"The receptionist was lovely and we felt very welcomed and informed on arrival. We stayed in a superior room with sea view, the room was clean but could do with a few extras to make it feel more comfortable. For example a headboard for the bed, a higher table for the chairs so that you could eat at and a small fridge would have been useful. Overall, we had a lovely stay, brilliant sea views, location was lovely and a short walk along the sea to the town and we would return!"
