Top Walkford Hotel Reviews

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"Just got home from a few days stay at Royal Bath Hotel and I would recommend it to anyone. I would definitely stay there again Evening meal suited me fine as I don’t like much variety of food. Breakfast was great and set me up for the day Swimming pool looked so good I didn’t use it as the weather was so hot made the most of going in the sea as the beach was so close to hotel. The grounds were fabulous to enjoy strolling around. They have live entertainment if you like that. Just so much there. Staff were very helpful and friendly Wishing I could have stayed longer Just something for you to watch out for Doors that you push that have a step down Immediately I fell and felt as though I had stepped over a cliff However there is a sign on the door"

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located within a short walk of Bournemouth centre. There is plenty of free parking onsite. The rooms do seem dated, but they are clean and contain everything you need. Check in was quick and easy and the hotel is well priced."

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"."

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed my stay at a hotel I have long weekended before. Queen sized rooms are always in immaculate condition, breakfast offers a broad choice of food. The steep hike up the sloping pathway to the hotel may be a challenge for some, but it also can be a good workout too! I would go back again for my next trip to Bournemouth."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"No AC on third floor so in this heat it was hot throughout the stay, fans were provided but doesn’t match AC. Male receptionist was lovely and very helpful. We had an issue with maintenance in our room- but this was unresolved and not followed up on. We couldn’t wait in the room all day for someone else to show up as it was so hot. In general nice hotel in good location- 8 min walk to beach and 10 min walk to town centre for restaurants. Parking had enough spaces and the area where hotel is located is quiet. Pool is smaller than pictured and had swim lessons going on so half was occupied- but weather was so nice we went to the beach anyways."

Carrington House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful service from the front desk. Check-in was fast, the room was quiet and modern, and the overall vibe was very relaxing."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful comfortable room, spacious, very comfy bed and bedding"
