Recent Reviews in Blandford Forum

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"The room was a good size and very clean. There was no hairdryer but luckily I had packed my own. I slept very well and it generally was a quiet relaxing place to be."

Bournemouth East Cliff by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"We had a large ground floor room close to the lift. We had a great sea view. The room had a large double bed, and a second area had a sofa which was made up into a small double be. There were towels and toiletries in the bathroom. There was an iron in the room, a fan hair drier and TV. The room also had a kettle, and tea/coffee making facilities. WIFI was good. The man at reception gave us information, and having read previous reviews we knew that we would have to use its sister hotel next door, for food, drinks and we were also able to use the pool and spa. Car park cost £20.00 but you can park for less on the road outside of the hotel. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel looks shabby outside but you don't sleep outside! Yes its a little dated inside, but you cannot complain for what you are paying. We had breakfast in the hotel next door, and it was quite nice there. The pool was lovely, and the gentleman behind the bar was really great, this was the evening of 5/07. He was so helpful, an absolute asset to the Carlton! We had no issues in the East Cliff. If you want a 5 star hotel then go elsewhere and pay a 5 star price. We had absolutely no complaints. Not sure though I would pay a higher price though, we had a fab deal through Expedia for two rooms. It cost less than the usual price of one room"

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful, friendly and approachable. Room was reasonably comfortable and tucked away in a quiet corner on the ground floor. Beds very clean and comfortable. Room was clean, roomy and stocked with tea and coffee. Bathroom was clean, spacy and had a small amount of shower gel, soap and 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner. Bathroom required a touch of maintenance with the bathroom door scraping the floor on opening & closing it. Shower was reasonably powerful. A nice bar and lots of seating. Restaurant food was good quality with some nice options. Breakfast good with the normal options of full breakfast, cereal, yogurts, toast and pastries."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location with great views out over the beaches. Close amenities such as restaurants, shops, beach etc. Outdoor pool is lovely again with views out to see. Delicious breakfast with good selection of food. Helpful staff. Limited parking but does have EV chargers. Highly recommended"

THE NICI Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Hotel is a little tired. The lifts are antiquated and are frankly not suitable for a hotel like this. The main disappointment was the lack of parking space. In a party of six people with three cars only one off us managed to park at the hotel for the overpriced sum of £27 per night. There was no help available from the reception area as to where alternative parking was to be found. Food is average to be honest and the wine is overpriced. If I had to sum the Nici up I would say it is an aspirational in the sense that it aspires to be more than it actually is but is struggling in its current state to get there. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and the staff were in the main very good."
