Our four-generation family gathering of 17 people stayed at The Whitehall Hotel for a weekend in May and enjoyed every minute of our holiday. The location is so central; overlooking the Lower Park and the amazing captive balloon and it is so easy to walk to the shops and to the beach, yet the hotel is peaceful and we all... More

The hotel overlooks the gardens in central Bournmouth. As locations go it is brilliant. The hotel is a bit dated and in places it needs a bit of updating. Faded elegance is probably the right term to use. However the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Everything worked well . The hotel is... More

We stayed as part of a group attending a conference at the BIC. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They adjusted the breakfast hours to take account of the conference timings. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The decor is 'faded grandeur' but everything was clean and worked. It is very close to the BIC and easy to... More

Myself and my colleagues have just returned from a short stay at the Whitehall. We have stayed here and at the sister hotel The Arlington for a number of years, the reason why we always come back is the excellent service and good value for money. The reservation process is swift and efficient and the location for our needs is... More

The Whitehall was recommended to us by discerning friends as being in a prime position with good home-cooked food and high standards of cleanliness, care and customer service. It is all of these. I am in the hotel trade myself and in my opinion the owners have pitched their hotel just right. OK so the decor is a little dated... More

It is sited on the cliff overlooking the chine approaching the pier, but, additionally, it it worthy of the description because the owners and staff are consistently friendly, efficient, and prepared to go the extra mile. My family and I have been using the Whitehall every Christmas and Easter for many years and the standards have not fallen. The housekeeping... More

We booked in to see a show at Bournemouth Pavillion in mid March. We actually booked Whitehall's sister hotel The Arlington but this was changed a few weeks before our arrival. The car parking at Whitehall was a bit tight (we own a Nissan XTrail) and had some problems with other residents not parking correctly. We were informed after this... More

my partner and i spent two nights at the Whitehall over the Easter weekend. like our previous two stays we had an excellent and restful stay. we think it is excellent value for money,the two star rating really understates its true standard and its position overlooking the beautiful central gardens could not be better. The first rate breakfast sets us... More
