Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

Harbour Hotel Christchurch

8/10 Good

"Great place. Good views. Staff helpful. Parking confusing. Our bed two singles - maybe once a double turned - had to hang on so as not to roll off bed"

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel, beautifully appointed, great breakfast choice"

Boscombe Spa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was small but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The bed linen was clean and fresh and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean and mould free and the shower, although tricky to turn on was hot and powerful. I will definitely be returning here when I next need to stay in the area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked the vibe of Laguna hotel and would stay there again. I feel like the hospitality is from another era. If you don't mind walking a bit, there is a nice park that stretches all the way to the beach without too much walking along streets and so it was nice to have a long weekend with nice strolls instead of running up the uber bill. Walkable for restaurants as well."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our second visit to this hotel. We really love the location, the breakfast buffet, and the friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a challenge, we were out all day everyday and when we returned the hotel parking lot was usually completely full. We were only able to park onsite 3 out 7 nights. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff were top notch. Everyone but one lady was very kind and welcoming."

Village Hotel Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Prefect stay"

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it and the sister hotel"

The Bear of Burton

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfy, food is amazing and the staff are great. So clean and well designed"

Captains Club Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic, within walking distance of the town centre where there was plenty to see and eating places for a reasonable price. The marina was also within walking distance and very beautiful. The hotel is very good but the rooms could do with a spruce up. Excellent wheelchair access and the staff are very well trained in all aspects of service. The food in the restaurant is also superb. The full english breakfast appeared to be cooked to order and was beautifully fresh when served. For a relaxing break with nice walks and easy to other restaurants you couldn’t go wrong. Would definitely consider going back."
