Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"The hotels.com listing is incorrect firstly - there is only one pool and the parking costs £15. A message was received 2 days ahead of our stay confirming the £10 cost of parking, one day later another email through hotels.com from the hotel stating £15. On enquiring, a fairly unconsidered message back that a direct booking would’ve incurred no parking costs. Hotel fine, but tired in places and a real conference feeling but staff were good and the breakfast host was exceptional. Good location for walking to the beach (around 10 min) and the pool was a perfect temperature. Room with two additional beds felt cramped with the table and chairs left in, would’ve preferred additional furniture was removed to make movement around the room and to the bathroom possible."
