Had friends come and stay with us and decided to treat them out for a meal. We have eaten here before and have always loved the food. We were not disappointed as we experienced some of the finest cuisine we could all remember. Will definitely be back.

I booked for myself and my partner to stay at The Carlton Hotel, after reading other reviews from past guests, which were all pretty good. I have to say that we were not disappointed!. I booked a superior room, which was right on the front of the hotel & had fantastic views across to Poole & over the seafront &... More

I attended a birthday party here, there was a large group. It was a hired room and majority of the attendees had booked to stay at the hotel for the weekend. I stayed for two nights. The service was amazing, the food was amazing and so was the location, its just a short walk from Bournemouth so is not directly... More

The hotel itself has apparently been renovated and it was obvious that some work had been done in the rooms, but maybe the standard of workmanship was lacking in the way of finish and attention to detail.

I visited with my wife and children. We had a great stay, excellent facilities and very receptive staff throughout. Our room was excellent, with a lot of space. The evening dining was excellent. Great high quality food with great choices.

The majority of the Hotel staff are welcoming, professional and polite (there is no deviation from the script though - all standard dialogue with the guests). All areas of the hotel including our room were spotlessly clean and in very very good condition. Our... More

Our room was spacious and recently modernised with beautiful views. The restaurant served delicious seafood and the bar good quality house champagne. Only negative was the shower- it was... More

I have stayed at the Carlton on a number of occasions. It is in a wonderful position and has an excellent restaurant and bar, and its entrance and public rooms are very impressive. Some of the bedrooms could do with refurbishment. Its main problem is that it tries to be all things to all people, and as a result fails... More

We've visited the Menzies a few times now over the years and the service is always so friendly. Room was lovely and spacious and very clean. It did face the car park, but as we were out all day it didn't matter. We used the pool, it was so warm like stepping into a bath! Breakfast was ok, plenty to... More
