Hotels with Bars in Bournemouth

This was our second visit to this hotel, we have unfortunately had the same experience twice. The hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. Rooms are lovely, Beds are huge and extremely comfy. Fluffy, luxury towels. The Pool area and pool are lovely, feel like you are abroad on a hot day. Although it is a fight for a Sun lounger. However it’s completely let down by the staff. The bar staffs attitude was appalling, it was an inconvenience for them to get our drinks each time. We had a Roast dinner at Old Harry Rocks - staff were much better in there and v accommodating, although I do believe this this a separate company to the hotel and it shows. Beef was tough in parts but still nice. Pork was lovely. On booking, breakfast is charged at £22 at but in the hotel it’s £15 so don’t fall into that trap. The staff had no idea what they were doing. They first couldn’t get our drinks order right, then they messed up our simple breakfast order. Some of us nearly finishing our breakfast before others even got their meal. The breakfast itself was very small, we were also only given half a mushroom?? For £22/£15 I would at least expect to have a whole Mushroom… They then didn’t know how to use the card machine..  Before we left we used the Spa, small but nice. Sauna was closed & pool was freezing. Hot Tub also wasn’t very warm.  Overall it was not a great experience, we will not be returning. To pay £260 minimum for a room for extremely poor service is criminal.

Ultimate holiday destination at Dorset, SW England, with sun, beach, sea and pool (and lots of bubbles), friendly staff, vacation mood and good nibbles. Always busy always happening :)

I was here for the first time a month ago. I enjoyed my stay here so I came back a month later. I booked for a single room but when I arrived the hotel upgraded it to a double room. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful. I enjoyed using the shower. It was a good shower with the right amount of pressure. I used this hotel to visit the beach. It is a short walk to the beach and is in a good location. The staff are very nice.

I had the pleasure of staying here in October 2020. John and Christine did everything possible to keep us all safe from Covid but still maintained a house party atmosphere. The rooms may not be modern but they are spotlessly clean and the food was lovely and there was plenty of it. Our tutor was Sharon Hurst who was fun and inspiring and ensured everyone had a great time. I will definitely visit again

I'm giving 5 stars based on the staff's behavior and the cleanliness of the room. The staff were amazing, friendly, and helpful. My room was clean, as was the bathroom, the bed, and the room in general. I'm not the type of person who wastes time checking under the bed, behind the bedside table, or the TV. The room was clean, period. People often complain that the hotel is old, but you get what you pay for. It's not a 5-star hotel, otherwise I would pay much more for the room. My only complaint is about the guests. Some people don't know how to behave in a hotel and still think they're at home. The rooms aren't soundproof, and everyone notices this when they hear someone talking loudly in the next room. That being said, people should be more respectful and not behave as if they were at home. It's not the hotel's fault, but the lack of respect people have for each other. I had no problems in my room. Some guests shouted, spoke loudly, or banged on doors, which, thankfully, didn't happen every day. But, should any problem arise, my rating would be based on how the staff handled the issue, not on the problem itself, since problems happen in any hotel, even the most expensive ones. Definitely I will go back and I bet they still remember me 😊

No Hot water to shower and wash The door to the shower room was stuck No toilet paper holder The pillows were not of good quality flat and not supportive There was a fan in the room however it was not powerful and couldn’t feel any cool air even close up The reception and bar staff were amazing Slow in topping up breakfast buffet Would like to be compensated for not having hot water

The hotel is a bit old, domestic three-star level, but still clean and tidy. very quiet. It is about 100 to 200 meters away from the sea, which is very close, but it needs to go down a small slope of about 50 meters. The weather in July is still a bit cold, and it is impossible to go to the sea. The city is very small, turn right out of the hotel for about 1 kilometer and you will see the landmark of the Ferris wheel. It is not far to go to Old harry rocks and Durdle door within half an hour and 1 hour.

I had read the reviews so I was not expecting much. All the staff appear to work really hard. Unfortunately, the hotel itself is really grubby and in much need of new carpets, redecoration and maintenance. (Sorry you maintenance guys, it might be a case of not enough hours in a day). Its NOT good enough to say ”there is only one pump” when no water comes out of the shower and then its brown for several minutes! I believe the pool is a new addition but why let the weeds grow up around it? The room was disappointing, my clothes hangers kept falling out of the holes and my clothes were then laying in the bottom of the wardrobe. I requested some hangers from reception, but no hangers existed? It was recommended that I book a table for dinner, I opted for 7pm and the steak. Forty minutes later it was still being chased up! Chatting around the pool it appears two people can stay for £80 per night but I was charged £133 with breakfast. Breakfast was buffet style and barely warm. I visited the hotels in the group and they are by far better. I will not recommend this hotel or stay again!

staff were wonderful however, the inside and outside pool closed. the sauna was closed. the hotel does not deserve a 3 star rating. no air condition in very small roon, no place for your luggage, the room was that small. no phone in the bedroom. im disabled and was on the first floor, no lift to that floor. they do not cater for the disabled and there are lots of steps. the place was shabby, everywhere needed painting. the table and chairs outside the sun had taken away all the varnish. the room was clean and the bathroom was ok. the place needs a total overhaul. very disappointed as i stayed for only one night and it cost 85.74 euros. i then stayed for 6 nights at another hotel in camborne and only paid £300 for 6 nights, it was 3 star and included a full english breakfast. at bournemouth eastcliffe the cost didnt include breakfast. i spoke to some of the staff and they told me that they were tired of having to apologise to tourists when so many complained. apparently the owners for so long either do not listen or dont care. this hotel should be downgraded.

Good location 15 mins walk from the beach, swimming pool was great and the hotel bar prices for food and drink were very reasonable.
