We went for a conference at the BIC as the Croham was about a ten minute walk away. I admit the room rate was cheap. But, cheap or not, we didn't expect insanitary. The first room we were given in the old part of the building stank of stale smoke, the sheets and bed covers had fresh stains all over... more

My partner booked this hotel for the August bank holiday without checking any of the review sites first, if he had we would never have gone there! Firstly we had to pay to park the car, £3.50 per day, in a very small car park that had no security and people from other hotels were using it, making space limited.... more

As a family of four we are always on a fairly tight budget, and basically we got what we paid for. The good size family room contained a double and two single beds with an ensuite, albeit a little cramped (particularly the loo!). Being on the top floor it was particularly hot and would have benefited from some form of... more

We've just come back from a stay at the 'wonderful' Croham and what can I say other than if anyone is thinking of going, change your booking now! I'll list the problems; ~ The locks on the door were faulty, at one point it took us over 15 minutes to get out of the room, in the event of a... more

As soon as we arrived, we deeply regretted our decision to book this hotel. It claims it's had a recent refurbishment, but desperately needs another one.

It was our first time in Bournemouth and a last minute decison for a quick weekend break. We had a room which had excellent views. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help and the room itself was fantastic, large room and with a decent sized bed. The hotel is quiet (even when fully booked) and... more

We were a party of 5 people and booked a twin and a triple room. We were welcomed on the Tursday by a helpful male member of staff who was very professional in the way he handled the gusets. The three days we spent at the hotel we were made very homely. The breakfast was a full english buffet breakfast... more

First time on trip advisor - so for me to write a review about this hotel is a big thing!! I went with my wife and 2 kids and all I can say is we had a great time. Of course reading all the reviews we were a tad worried but when we arrived the hotel manager (there are 2!!)... more

It is close by to shops bars etc and the staff are very friendly! The Owners make you feel right at home and are... more
