Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.
Great beaches for kids, has a little fun fair on the pier.

We ate at Harry Ramsdens, fish and chips is a must at the seaside.
Car parking can be a challenge, book a hotel with a carpark.

Me and my fiance went with friends for our sten Do (stag&hen). It was pleasant weather, relatively affordable, good food & entertaining mini golf. We also went to the mini market Sunday morning which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as it was not too busy.

Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner.
It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.

The problem with Bournemouth is it is rather run down there are a lot of homeless people sleeping in doorways i think there were rumours of rats in the park but the bus system is brilliant we did go to swanage and Poole shopping overall I would go to Bournemouth again but would not walk about in the dark
This is a very nice boutique hotel with great views, within walking distance to the city center. The staff is wonderful and they resolved our little crisis before departure, and even gave us a ride to the train station to make sure we do not miss our train that was connected to an international flight. Wonderful people in a gorgeous town. Ventana restaurant has great food and a nice atmosphere. Bournemouth is a pleasant, lively English riviera with cafes, parks and live music, and we had a great stay at Cumberland.
The apartment was perfect for my elderly parents and myself, and excellent value compared to a hotel. Although situated on the 2nd floor there is a lift which was ideal. Communication from our host, Andrew, was brilliant and very helpful especially for check in. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location was great, being so close to the beach and the centre of Bournemouth and it was so convenient having our own parking space. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Andrew.
This hotel is very handy for shops, eateries, parks and beach and is very accessible by car being close to main roads. Paid parking is available too in a secure carpark. Staff were always very helpful and cheerful, which was good as I had my adult autistic grandchild in tow and any negativity is picked up. Staff were very helpful too finding us a quiet corner for breakfast. So a lovely overnight stay for us both.
It is good they have a jacuzzi and small swimming pool
I was impressed with everything. Staff were amazing and the breakfast was run very efficiently. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was also perfect. Opposite shopping and cinema and a short walk to the beach and pier. Stayed at few places in Bournemouth as visit my daughter and I would certainly stay here again. Unfortunately all hotels are expensive around the area but this was one of the cheaper options but certainly didn’t feel I was in a cheap hotel.
Hotel is very nicely situated across the street from a great beach with much activity, and close to the city and many shops, restaurants and pubs. Just a short taxi from the train station. The full breakfast includes a variety of menu choices that are nicely prepared, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very spacious with sitting area, and comfortable.
Closure of the Heathlands Hotel resulted in us being transferred to The Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth. In view of our late rearrangements we were fortunate to get an upgrading to a fantastic room which overlooked the pier. Our stay was excellent in all respects so consequently have great pleasure in giving the hotel and staff a 5* rating. Bryan and Lynn Pickett.
Great location in town centre, you’ll be just steps away from the square, beach, restaurants, cinema. I think the hotel is best suited for guests coming to Bournemouth to party. There is a nice cocktail bar and night club in the premises and it can get pretty loud (of which I was warned about beforehand). Personally I wasn’t too bothered by the noise.
We could not fault our stay, excellent value for the money, The staff were friendly and made our stay a very happy experience, the hotel is just outside of the shopping centre and beach area, but a walkable distance just down the hill or if you didn't fancy walking, the bus stop is just around the corner from the hotel.
The hotel was stunning inside with its period features and we received a very warm welcome from the owner.. The location was perfect as it's just a few minutes walk to the beach and a twenty minute walk to Bournemouth town centre. The onsite parking was a bonus too. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
Hotel was clean, well maintained and the staff very helpful. The Games Room was a big bonus - my daughter's spent HOURS on the table tennis table!
The Buffet Breakfast, both cold and hot, was EXCELLENT and plenty of it. It is only a short walk from the Promenade into Bournemouth and the beach!
Pool Large TV in bedroom with good reception (not always easy in Bournemouth). Good breakfast. Good position walking distance from beach Nd town centre. I have been to Bournemouth many times and look forward to returning to this hotel
Tidy hotel, big comfy beds. Location is quite useful if you have a car you can drive to the nicer beaches east of Bournemouth. Incase of injury the hospital is opposite :) Very cheap, even with all the hidden costs
The best hotel that we’ve stayed in, whist in Bournemouth. Perfect location for the BIC & beach, the former being why we regularly come to Bournemouth. All staff were lovely, full English breakfast delicious!
Ideal hotel to be right in the centre of Bournemouth. By pier, beach, park and restaurants. Best to choose room with Sea View. All very comfortable. Staff helpful.
It's very close to beach and town centre with a variety of shops nearby.. it's's very quiet and a safe location from where you can comfortably discover Bournemouth.
