5-10 mins walk to centre. Overlooking the cliffs looking own on the great Bournemouth beach. The are paths and lifts down to beach not far from the hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. Room was slightly pokey but then didn't expect much more as a single but adequate. Very quiet location with great nights slep Good breakfast and... More

We stayed for one night as we wanted to see Diane James, Lea Martin and Paul Shinar again. Believe me this is a show well worth seeing the trio are such wonderful singers who have fantastic rapport and are true entertainers. The hotel was value for money, breakfast was excellent and the staff were all attentive and accommodating. The room... More

Second visit to the art deco style hotel - such friendly people - booked on a special dinner b & b deal with ocean view room..... we were delighted to find on arrival we had been appointed a suite - WOW! Massive bed, so comfortable and separate seating area, two t.vs. The dated en-suite didnt detract from our wonderful stay... More

Stayed for 4 nights in May, its a nice Art Deco hotel & has a great feel. My room was small, but perfect! Well decorated and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. This is a great 3 star hotel! Good location & the staff are very efficient & helpful. I would definately stay here again.

It was certainly not one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The downstairs area has been thoughtfully done in an Art Decco style. We had one of the smaller rooms without a view it was ok, very clean, but a bit over priced for what it was. If you want a quiet weekend away forget it; this hotel... More

First impressions of the hotel are lovely location amazing decor and very helpful reception area staff. Although I managed to pop in a couple of times due to me working overseas most of the party was arraigned... More

Stayed at the Cumberland twice this year so far and would definitely recommend it as a base for visiting bournemouth. The rooms are a little dated and could do with some updating but the bar/restaurant areas more than make up for this. The decor in the bar is so inviting you never want to leave, their cocktail menu is varied... More

Noisy. Friday and Saturday akin to living in a kettle drum. Complain. Staff response, smiling indifference. Rooms basic and tatty. They state that they have spent an enormous amount of money on refurbishment. Certainly not the bathrooms and bedrooms. Decided not to dine as the service and quality might have been to the standard og the main hotel. Used for... More

My wife and I needed a decent break so after looking at the reviews on TA we opted for this hotel, it was a little bit over our budget but we thought we'd treat ourselves. First impressions we're that it was in a good location and was certainly clean. The check in was efficient but not friendly still no matter... More
