Scenic Hotels in Bournemouth

"I recently stayed at The Bath Hotel Beaumont from 25th to 26th April, where we had booked two standard rooms with windows. Unfortunately, the experience was quite inconsistent. One of the rooms was very good, clean, and comfortable. However, the second room was extremely disappointing and in poor condition. It was significantly below expectations, especially considering both rooms were booked under the same category. I would strongly advise avoiding the smaller standard rooms, as the quality seems to vary greatly. On a positive note, the hotel’s location is excellent and very convenient. The spa and swimming pool facilities are also good; however, it should be clearly noted that these come at an additional cost per person, which is not communicated transparently at the time of booking. Parking is available but costs around £25 per day. Unfortunately, the service associated with this was very poor. Our car was parked under a tree and was left covered in bird droppings. When we raised this concern, the staff were unhelpful and stated they did not have the manpower to clean it. Instead, we were given cleaning supplies and expected to clean the car ourselves, which is highly unprofessional given the price charged. Additionally, the valet service was unreliable. On multiple occasions, we had to wait 15–20 minutes for our car, and twice we ended up retrieving it ourselves after being told to wait. This defeats the purpose of a paid valet service. The staff, particularly at reception, came across as rude and unprofessional, especially when handling complaints. For a hotel of this standard, the lack of basic service, including room service or an efficient call service, was surprising. Overall, while the location and some facilities are good, the inconsistency in room quality and poor customer service significantly impacted our stay. I would not recommend this hotel unless improvements are made."

"High hopes but very disappointing stay. On initial check in , the young lady was very helpful and took our bags as we were too early to check in.  When we returned several hours later to complete check in, the receptionist did not look at us at all when talking to us, which made it difficult to understand or hear what she was saying. We were then told that we had to pay £100 deposit- which we were not advised of prior to booking.  Her general attitude was surly and we felt an inconvenience. We went to use the spa, and were greeted by an equally miserable lady who also made us feel like an inconvenience.  The spa area was very  wet and slippery and felt unloved. The changing area looked tired and needed a Good clean.  Breakfast - on our first day we were greeted by a lovely chap called Kian, which felt like a welcomed change to the rest of our encounters with staff. The general the experience was a shambles. Lots of food had run out. We requested an omelette from the chef and were told No. There were no veggie sausages available. Coffee machine kept running out and only gave half a cup full. The food did not appear to be of good quality and was often dry from sitting under the lights and was not hot. There were very few staff around and there was too much for them to deal with Our room was fine, the view over looked another building but you could see the sea in the distance  Our twin beds were creaky and noisy  The shower over the bath was pretty useless and kept slipping in the holder  There was not enough tea/ coffee for us both to have the same drink and there was only one pack of  complimentary biscuits , which were cheap custard creams. We requested some decaf tea at reception and were given one each.  All in all, the hotel is situated in a good location but we wouldn’t rush back. We hoped it would be a treat but you can get better service at the premier inn or Hampton,so it doesn’t warrant paying more for."

"Most of all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We emailed ahead to ask if we were able to leave our bags in a safe place as we were arriving on the morning of a wedding and before official check in. The team replied within the hour. We were able to borrow a phone charger as well. Our room was clean and tidy. The overall energy of the hotel was calm and quiet during our stay. The location was fairly central as well, it seemed. We enjoyed our stay!"

"We had a very pleasant stay at the Heathlands Hotel in Bournemouth and would happily recommend it. The location is great, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were very friendly and professional throughout our stay. When we checked out, we asked if we could leave our luggage so we could continue exploring Bournemouth, and they kindly agreed — which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. Overall, a lovely stay with excellent service. We would definitely return. Dijana"

"Only wanted continental breakfast ham was dry cheese hard and curled up 9.10 and all pastries are gone .small pieces of bread hard and dry .used this hotel 17 times now and it's been lovely. What's changed ?"

"We stayed here as a couple and had a mixed experience. The hotel has its charms, but also a few drawbacks. Rooms & Amenities: The rooms were quite small and felt congested, including the toilet where the commode placement was very cramped. The amenities provided were basic — just soap and a combined hair and body wash. Surprisingly, there was no handwash, no refrigerator, and no hair dryer in the room. On the plus side, the room was clean, and we had no issues with hygiene. Staff & Service: The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. Facilities & Atmosphere: The swimming pool was lovely, and the view from the poolside was amazing, directly overlooking the sea. The lounge area shared the same beautiful view — a great spot to relax in the evening. There was even a small jewelry corner inside the hotel, so beware — you might end up buying a ring or necklace if your partner starts browsing! Other Notes: The lift was possibly the oldest I've ever used — it really felt like stepping back into the 90s, which in a way added some quirky character to the place. Food: The full English breakfast was genuinely very good — one of the highlights of our stay. Overall Value: The pricing was reasonable, but for better value, it would be great if they included essentials like a refrigerator, handwash, and hair dryer in the rooms."

"The location is convenient. Walking distance of 10 minutes to the city centre and 20 minutes to the beach nearby. The staff are very friendly. The hotel provides car park with a price. £15.5 for overnight. Only shower not bath in the bathroom. One bad thing is the television in the room. It is so small and it is placed at the corner of the room."

"Hotel is a bit tired and beds were uncomfortable. However good location for a couple of nights and good to have access to the pools. Probably wouldn’t stay again just because of the uncomfortable beds and not good for a bad back."

"Stayed here in March 2026 with my family. Overall below average experience. There was only one passengers lift which was out of service and service lift was very small for a stroller and everyone staying on higher floors were struggling. Outdoor pool was closed due to season but heated pool was also not functional. Staff was not rude but they were not Marriott level, most of the requests were declined without any work arounds. I booked a sew view room and it was very compact, other things were manageable but toilet seat was not. It had very less space that you couldn’t sit properly to poop :) Breakfast options were good. Based on my experience I didn’t feel it like Marriott and I would not be able to recommend this to anyone."

"Nice hotel, not far from the beach. Breakfast was good but was only until 9.30am. Rooms were nice, spacious and clean we had a balcony room with lovely views of the beach, the rooms were quite hot and no A.C which is needed in hot weather. The outdoor pool is heated but no indoor pool for when the weather isn’t good. Staff were helpful and friendly."
