West Cliff Hotels, Bournemouth

"This is an old property, with fewer conveniences one would expect at a higher priced hotel, but it was clean, all rooms are en-suite and if you are willing to walk a couple of miles to the city centre, it is worth staying here at a price lower than the city centre. Staff is helpful and a tour company on site offers some pre-arrannged trips tp different places. "

"A very well used hotel not as special as I had expected. The air conditioning didn’t work in the room and no windows that open. The windows were not kept clean and hadn’t been for a long time which was very evident in the dining and reception area. The swimming pool was not clean be it the end of day when we went into the pool. There was a considerable amount of hair and fluff floating and the changing area was not kept clean. Floors were wet and clumps of hair in numerous places. Thus I didn’t return to the swimming area. Breakfasts were not good. Eggs were over cooked and bacon too hard to eat. Not enough variety."

"Very cosy, clean room. Tea, coffee, biscuits. Courteous and helpful staff. Good evening meal and breakfast choices. Pleasant garden. "

"Unfortunately this beautiful hotel is going into disrepair and needs renovations. Breakfast was average. Above all, they need to pay for cleaning as almost every corridor needs cleaning. Room was small but sadly not clean! I rather not to look at the radiator as it was full of cog-webs, spots, .. I love the location and the communal areas and live music. I always come back only for the good atmosphere."

"Hotel was amazing perfect for our needs annd the staff were so lovely. only thing I would add for parents with children booking this hotel or ladies hen party’s that it’s very apparent that 3 hotels very close to this one are housing asylum seekers. Large Groups of men stood outside the hotels drinking alcohol in the day made me a bit un easy to be honest and I wouldn’t feel safe walking alone or in a small group of women in the evening to get back to the hotel. There was also two police cars parked at the end of the road early evening that made me look into things to find out that locals have been protesting over the hotels being used for this and how they are worried people won’t visit the sea side resort . It’s definitely had a different feel than when I visited before not to say all asylum seekers are out to cause harm as most are here for good reason! However when men are stood in large groups drinking and smoking with no women or kids in sight English men or not u need to have your witts about you please don’t be walking home alone drunk or allow your friends to get in taxis back to hotels alone . "

"Very good room in annexe but significant road noise My wife had a spa treatment at only available time 1045 but we were still not allowed delayed check out for the hour of her facial without paying £35! Slow service at breakfast"

"Pleasant short stay at Hampton by Hilton. Ideal location near beaches and town centre. Room was good size, modern facilities and breakfast is a generous serving. I’ll be going back to stay in August."

"Windows in bedroom nailed shut which was a bit of an issue suffering from claustrophobia.. Room clean comfortable. Staff nice "

"Had to use caltons facilities only room was in east cliff and the parking there is shocking way over priced i payed over £30 for the night."
