Our Stay

Are stay was very enjoyable, the room was very spacious the bathroom needs towel rails, and some redecoration in the bedroom . The food was very good but needed some more choice on the menu .

S, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a spacious suite on the 2nd floor with beautiful sea views. Hotel has a great location, just a short walk to Bournemouth beach. Bed was super-comfy, pool area was well-maintained and we were pleasantly surprised with the food (having read mixed reviews). We would definitely return.
Christina, 2-night trip

The Carlton Bournemouth

We had a very good overnight stay including a meal in the restaurant and breakfast. Room was clean. The staff were all very helpful, especially reception. Would visit again.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were lucky to have a see view, the room itself was very large and clean and a little dated which didn't detract from our 2 day stay. The communal areas were in better condition and the two pools were lovely, we ate once at the hotel and the breakfast was excellent. All staff were very good and Neolia on reception was particularly pleasant, with nothing to much trouble. Would definately stay again.
Reg, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Most of the property is pretty tired, but the indoor pool and spa were not open - and the spa has been removed which is misleading. The staff at check-in made no effort to compromise or be conciliatory with us (4yo in tow) which made the whole start a real poor experience.
Nicolai, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Work tip

The room was very spacious, but gloomy - just one standard lamp and 2 bedside lamps. A short term fix would be a pair of desk lamps (or a desk in the bathroom, which was very well lit!). Also the towel rail was not working - hope they get it fixed before winter comes!

Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Im going to be honest here; early check-in is not an option. Weve been made to wait 1.5hrs after check-in time, but were given bar vouchers so fair play on staff trying to make do. Shower sink took ages to clear water, room window was opening all the way (I was with 2 small kids). Hotel is old and in need of refurbishment.
Mate, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a lovely old hotel with well maintained lobby, lounges, restaurant, bar, and grounds. Unfortunately, our first suite was very "tired" with a chipped bathtub, chipped walls, peeling wall paper and very uninspiring, austere decor for a British hotel - i.e. one kleenex box and some prints on the walls. Our second suite was better maintained but was missing items like a luggage rack, drinking glasses, full length mirror.... In both suites we had to hunt in the cupboard for a second set of towels and pillows. I understand that they're trying to be more ecologically green but they've gone a bit too far. Service was excellent all around and the restaurant was very good also. It's located on the east cliff with a lovely view. Gardens and pool must be very pretty in the summer.
Cynthia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the hotel - great location and friendly staff
Jayne, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good and bad.

Hotel has seen better days. Very badly cracked sink, rotten under the taps and quite possibly the worst hotel shower i have ever experienced in my sixty odd years. Long, long walk with steps up and down to room 105. Against that a very large room, a larger than king size bed that was extremely comfortable.
Roy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very spacious, but the furniture was old full of scratches water stains , the shower had no pressure.
Bethan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was very good. Room could be cleaner - rooms need decorating (not modernising just watermarks on most walls!) bar service was really poor, but apart from that an enjoyable stay
Simon, 2-night trip
