I stay in Bournemouth regularly and have stayed in quite a few hotels. The Marriott is by the best. Although it is a little more costly than some of the others, the facilities and location are outstanding. The spa and gym is excellent, and there is an outside pool with sunbeds if you are lucky to get the weather. The... more

I often have to work long hours over Christmas, leaving him in doors on his own most evenings. This Christmas I decided to take him away for a proper Christmas no cooking no washing up, just bliss being waited on plus rest and relaxation. We had a wonderful time the staff were really professional food really good. The only gripe... more

My husband and I stayed at the Highcliff Hotel for the 3 night Christmas package. We arrived on Christmas Eve and departed on the 27th December. The service, food and comfort of the hotel was excellent. We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed every minute of our stay there. All of the staff were superb. The service and food... more

Lovely Hotel, we attend a Christmas party and the food was good despite a large party. Staff were friendly and room was lovely. I would definately return more

I stayed at the Marriott for one night, and was especially impressed with the location - high up overlooking the beach.

I arrived late at night and very tired: all I wanted was a cold drink and a bath. The mini bar was empty and the taps and plug on the bath did not work properly. At times there... more

I am aware that it is considered a sin to smoke but I do and even if the concierge had slapped me on the way in, my stay would have been nothing short of bliss as it is seemingly the only hotel where smoking rooms are an option. We came to Bournmouth to see a gig at BIC (hotel right... more

I really like this place! The staff were all incredibly friendly during my recent two night stay. The room was one of the nicest I have ever stayed in, the en suite excellent, nice comfy bed, loads of space and a great LCD telly to boot. On the downside they seem to try and profit from every last thing. Want... more

Amazing location with great sea views. Hotel very old and it shows. Although room we stayed in was large the fitting in the bathroom were old and worn out. Toilet took ages to flush and the shower was fairly useless. Car parking is a total nightmare very small places and they charge you GBP10 to park for the privledge although... more
