Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Bear of Burton

The Bear of Burton

10/10 Excellent

"A really pleasurable overnight stay at The Bear. Katie who checked me in was extremely pleasant and efficient. My room was very clean and comfortable. The terrace was a perfect place to sit and have a drink in the afternoon sun. I'd booked for dinner and the food was excellent. Katie and the two other bar/restaurant staff were friendly, attentive and professional. I will be recommending the hotel to friends and would not hesitate to visit there again in the future."

Carrington House Hotel

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The building is quite old, but it has been well maintained and is clean. The room had some older furniture and fittings, which were perfectly functional and did not cause any issues. However, the room was not air-conditioned, and the small fan provided was not sufficient for comfortable ventilation during the night. There was plenty of free on-street parking available nearby, which was very convenient. The breakfast was good, and overall, the stay was pleasant. That said, I felt the room rates were a little high considering the facilities provided."

Royal Bath Hotel

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel needs urgent upgrades to the rooms. We upgraded to a sea view room with the manager being extremly helpful and quick. The room itself it is very outated and upgrading, however the view itself from the balcony was incredible. The cost of the pool/gym of £5 should be included in the price, especially as the facilities are also very outated. The check-in of 3 pm is very late - but this seems to be the same in all hotels in the area. Overall the experience was pleasant, but not worth almost £300/night."

The Ravensbourne Hotel

The Ravensbourne Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was greeted by lovely karl, room was clean but a little outdated, not a concern, only downfall was it was on the third floor which could have bn mentioned when booking as the temperature outside was nearly 35c and rooms dont have aircon, and it was like a sauna up there, we had a 4 year old,so we stuggled to slp at night with just a fan, Bathroom was shared but clean throughtout our stay "

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"Pool closed, any food you had to get from sister hotel. Tried to get ice for my drink I had but at 22:20 was told bar closed so said just need ice but apparently no ice and was advised to go to sister hotel! Hotel currently undergoing renovation I believe and our room was in nice condition and bed comfortable and for what you can pay ( only paid £42 for 1 night) and had a double room with part sea view I think it’s definitely worth the money. Would consider staying again but if you can afford more then worth staying at sister hotel The Carlton as pool and restaurant open."

Denewood Hotel - Guest Accomodation
