The staff at check-in made no effort to compromise or be conciliatory with us (4yo in tow) which made the whole start a real poor experience. ##### Nicolai Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reg 10 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities We were lucky to have a see view, the room itself was very large and clean and a little dated which didn't detract from our 2 day stay. The communal areas were in better condition and the two pools were lovely, we ate once at the hotel and the breakfast was excellent. All staff were very good and Neolia on reception was particularly pleasant, with nothing to much trouble. Would definately stay again. ##### Reg Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mate 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Im going to be honest here; early check-in is not an option. Weve been made to wait 1.5hrs after check-in time, but were given bar vouchers so fair play on staff trying to make do.

Dull, featureless. Some friendly staff - Nisha, Pavan, Tommy - though not on reception. Seriously overpriced at £250/night. ![empty cabinet in the lift where the emergency phone should be](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/437536e7-9ffa-4a76-8b9e-ed86c19607d3-1750686160056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![signs of decay](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8cacf9b5-2ee9-46f2-90dc-e9e5605315cc-1750686159681.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the hotel - great location and friendly staff ##### Jayne Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Zoe 15 Dec 2024 Huge room …but very tired in some areas but over all had a nice 2 night break …staff were lovely x ##### Zoe Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### James 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Valentines Break Hotel was a bit tired looking in places, but good in others, shower a bit poor and mattress was not very good.

Great sea view from my room. Only gripe was the car park charge of £20.00 per night. I mentioned this on check-out, but the receptionist insisted that they are the cheapest in Bournemouth. This is of course untrue - if you are the cheapest for parking, why not advertise it as a benefit, not keep it under wraps until guests arrive and havevpassed throughvthe car park cameras. ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful room, quiet stay and friendly staff ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 21 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great room, great service ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The wait staff was absolutely accommodating and friendly.

Below is my detailed feedback: Positives Prime Location: The hotel’s location is genuinely convenient—just a short stroll to both the beach and the town centre. This makes it easy to enjoy seaside walks, access local shops, and explore Bournemouth’s main attractions without needing transportation. Spacious Rooms: The guest rooms are generously sized, giving ample space to relax after a day out. This was a pleasant surprise compared to many city hotels with cramped accommodations. Decent Restaurant Food: The food served at the on-site restaurant was decent. While not gourmet, the variety and quality met expectations and provided a comfortable dining option on evenings when I didn’t feel like venturing out. Negatives Aging Building & Poor Maintenance: Being an older property, the building shows signs of wear and tear. Maintenance standards are below what I’d expect, with aspects of the infrastructure not being up to the mark. Low Water Pressure: A notable issue was the lack of water pressure in both the shower and the washroom. This made showers less enjoyable and points to plumbing concerns that need attention. Room Cleaning Service: Housekeeping requires significant improvements. The room cleaning service was inconsistent, and requests for towels went unanswered despite multiple calls. This lack of responsiveness detracted from the overall comfort. ##### Shamim Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James 22 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great size room and the hotel staff are lovely but the room and hotel is in need of some maintenance and a deep clean ##### James Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice sea view room Room 215, nice sea view room, plenty of space. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton London Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Metropole.h26134.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Edwardian-Manchester.h1044199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Birmingham Metropole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hilton-Birmingham-Metropole.h436233.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Birmingham.h15832.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge London Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-London-Covent-Garden.h23389.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Durley Dean Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Durley-Dean-Hotel.h1170728.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Titanic Hotel Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Titanic-Hotel-Liverpool.h7763320.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [London Hilton on Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Hilton-On-Park-Lane.h26769.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The Municipal Hotel Liverpool - MGallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-The-Municipal-Hotel-Liverpool-Mgallery.h91370465.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Great-Cumberland-Place.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London -Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-London-Tower-Of-London.h3977996.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information)
