I'd read some awful reviews so I wasn't expecting much but booked last min for a good price. Check on was clear, decor is lovely, beds were comfy, everything is super clean, room size was perfect, plenty of hangers for clothes, tv is well situated. Our stay way on a friday night, Halloween too, and only heard 1 person at night. Close to the international/winsor hall too, we walked home. Would 100% stay again if I find myself in Bournemouth again.
I stayed here (very very shortly) and I can say it was amazing, although I couldn’t stay the night. I checked in, chilled out, went to town and when I came back, unfortunately they found I had booked the wrong date!! There was another person with my exact name, and there was a mix up and I checked in under another booking when it was booked for the next week! Silly me, but the hotel staff were AMAZING! I did have to leave hotel, As they was fully booked and couldn’t move the booking, but they gave me a full refund even though i had no refund policy through booking.com. Staff were amazing, and my room was actually really nice. Next time I go to Bournemouth I will be back (and book the right date!)
One Night to go to The Pavilion Theatre. Only 15 Mins walk - parking can be a premium in town - already paid £10.00 for 24hrs. Reception staff very friendly Bar prices reasonable Room - in need of decoration - stained and marked carpet - flaking wallpaper - security device on door not fit for purpose. Bathroom - in dire need of decoration - missing plaster painted over - shower screen fouls on basin - toilet roll holder funny position. Breakfast - continental with fills ciabatta rolls (bacon/sausage/cheese and pesto) - if I’d paid separately I’d be disappointed bus as it was in the room price it was just acceptable.
Room was in very good condition. Surrounding areas were also quiet. Not far from the beach, only 5 mins.
The room given was amazing as it was outside in the back of the hotel. I was able to go in and out with my baby's pram without any issues. Although it says there is a disability entrance in the hotel, that's is completely false. To be able to get in the hotel you have around 7 steps. There is no other disability/ baby pram entrance. And same it goes for the breakfast which you need access to the hotel through the stairs. The room we had was amazing, big and very clean. The beds very comfortable.
There was construction work right next to hotel, it is very noisy during the day. Reception is very basic, no drinks or anything been available or offered during check in. Location is quite near to the see front, room was very basic compared to the price. We were given room on the ground floor outside main building, anyone have access to that area, as well as public can park there, no control system with the access card, so security is an issue.
The room was very nice and big the sausage and egg wasn't cooked right my girlfriend threw up the sausage and egg and this is our second time gooing to the queens spa hotel bournemouth and the very busy every time we wanted to go there and it seems like the hotel is under new management and breakfast £30 per person but other than that we had a great time
Had a great stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a family room, which was big and spaceous. Kitchen had a microwave,fridge,kettle with complementry tea,coffee etc. I was very impressed. We had breakfast included with a very good selection and loved the warm pastries. Location was spot on...5 min walk to the beach. Parking was no issue and felt safe to leave the car.
