The staff are rude and unhelpful. They would rather shout and hang up the phone rather then sort a situation out like an adult! They cant take critisim and are out to con their customers into more expensive rooms. By stating 'only one room left'. In the event of trying to log a complaint with mangement the phone call was...

Stayed here at the last minute after the hotel we had booked messed up our booking. Slightly apprehensive when we pulled up but ended up being pleasantly surprised. We received a warm, friendly welcome and were checked in effortlessly. We took the last room that was available, a twin room on the top floor (we saw there was a lift... More

Stayed at the Arlington at the weekend, my lovely partner and I were slightly apprehensive about staying at the Arlington, as we are regular customers for Bournemouth central premiere inn. However as they were fully booked we decided to give it a go. We were welcomed with smiles and there was a wonderful atmosphere. The characteristics of the hotel were... More

Stayed here with a group of friends for a reunion. When enquiring we asked if groups were accepted, most welcome we were told. The opposite was found to be true. The hotel is extremely dated, although very clean. Walls & ceilings paper thin, rooms & bathrooms small & shower not much more than a trickle. Do not dare sit at... More

This hotel may only rank as two stars, but for its location and staff it certainly deserves five. We were given a very warm welcome as we stepped off our coach and our bags were delivered to our rooms for us - so no queuing for the lift! Our room looked out onto the central gardens - an absolutely magnificant... More

I have to be totally honest here...the hotel, bricks and mortar, is not great. It could really do with a few quid spent on it...carpets and doors etc. But, in its defence, the staff were really nice, rooms were very clean and beds were very comfartable. We went without the kids for two nights and you couldn't have asked for... More

I think this hotel should be rated more than a two star. All the staff were very friendly from the housekeepers to the manager. They were all helpful and any request was eagerly attended to. The hotel was very clean and quiet. It was located in central Bournemouth close to the beach and admusements. It was just a short walk... More
