The staff at the Ocean View Hotel are very helpful, friendly and polite. I was allowed to access my room earlier than the stated 2pm check in time. Following a 3 hour journey to get there this was most welcome. My single room (301) was quiet, adequate, clean and functional, although a little chilly due to drafts coming through the... More

We stayed here for one night to attend a party at a nearby hotel. I am so glad it was only one night. Decor in public areas is weird to say the least. I am told that these areas have just been refurbished which is hard to believe. If it's true I would suggest a different interior designer next time.... More

We went to the Ocean View for the wedding reception of my Nephew and his Wife Dom and Ellie over the weekend and it was FANTASTIC. The Decor was lovely, the room had a woodland theme, the food was absolutely great and the staff were amasing. We had an excellent time and would recommend this hotel to anyone considering having...

we stayed at the hotel on a Friday and Saturday, but were not warned beforehand that it would be full of stag and hen parties. The noise was terrible as they returned in the middle of the night. We couldnt get served at the bar as staff was late, for which he replied "I had something else to do" We... More

We had one of the recently refurbished rooms and it was very impressive. Large, sea view, nice big bathroom, very comfortable bed and attractive furnishings. The only fault we could find was the rather small TV which couldn't be seen when in bed as it was below the footboard. The public areas are very pleasant with some very attractive furnishings...

My boyfriend and I stayed in a first floor room, with a sea view. The double room was spacious but outdated - apparently it's undergoing rennovation. The bed was comfortable, but clearly two single mattresses joined together which was occasionally less comfortable! The bathroom is a greatt size, but the shower is far too low - I'm only 5'4 but...

Good Points: We used a voucher for our stay here, so the price was very good. Bournemouth is a lovely seaside town and this hotel is pretty central, so that too was very good. The view from the window was excellent - we had a sea view. I found the staff friendly and helpful and I slept well - there... More

We spent a week at Ocean View with our two grandchildren. The staff, from management to cleaners was so courteous and helpful, even with our grandchildren. The atmosphere was happy and cheerful. Waitresses, bar staff, reception and management are all to be commended. I would also like to compliment the chefs on the excellent meals at breakfast and also the... More
