Best Four Star Hotels in Bournemouth

Our coach holiday at the Royal Bath in Bournemouth was terrific value for money. The location is excellent with the beach, Bournemouth gardens, and the Pavilion theatre all minutes away on foot. Our rooms were spacious and appeared to have been recently refurbished. There is free wifi in the common areas and kettle and cups, ironing facilities and a fan are provided in the rooms. The common areas are comfortable and the food is self service. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive. The hotel is an old lady and not without it's flaws so if you are used to luxury then you may wish to pay extra money elsewhere for your indulgence. We were looking for a comfortable hotel in a great location and were very happy with our stay at the Royal Bath.

Ultimate holiday destination at Dorset, SW England, with sun, beach, sea and pool (and lots of bubbles), friendly staff, vacation mood and good nibbles. Always busy always happening :)

First time staying in this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Firstly the staff are exceptionally friendly and did everything they could to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. The room itself was very modern and spacious and looked out onto the road but it wasn’t noisy at all. The room had everything that we needed from a hair dryer, coffee and tea station, tv and toiletries that were replenished daily. We loved the fact that the swimming pool, steam room and gym was included within the price along with the free entertainment in the evenings. We listened to the live singer one evening and played bingo on another. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant where the service was friendly and quick. We also ordered room service to our door which felt like a luxury and saved us having to go downstairs one evening. The beach is a 4 min walk down the road and we managed to park our car in the free parking slots down the side of the hotel. However chargeable hotel parking is also available. Thank you so much to everyone for making our trip to Bournemouth so amazing. We can’t wait to stay at this hotel again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The breakfast is good, there is a parking lot, and you can take extra beds with children. The hotel is extremely considerate and courteous to its customers. We arrived at the hotel from London Heathrow Airport very late on January 17th. The front desk guy with glasses welcomed us warmly and helped us carry our luggage to the room. We came to participate in a ballroom dancing competition. We originally booked a hotel for 4 days, but the teacher asked us to come 1 day earlier, and we later booked an additional day. After staying for 1 day, we had to change rooms for another 4 days due to room type issues. We didn’t want to deal with the big stuff, but a female manager, the lady leader, was very considerate and helped us move to the next door, which was very convenient. We booked a double bed, but it was new. The room is a single bed room. For our convenience, an extra bed was added. We are very grateful. And in the next few days, she came to ask if our stay was comfortable, she was very warm and thoughtful. I hope to stay in this hotel again when I come to participate in the UK OPEN competition in the future!

Really nice hotel. Great location, lovely bed and room decor. Room was pretty noisy, as windows are in the car park and door is by lobby and lift, so lots of people at all times coming by. I didn’t ask to be moved as I was only there 2 nights and I’d already unpacked when I realised how bad the noise was. On the flip side, the room was really handy for popping in and out as near all hotel facilities. Staff were all very helpful and nice. Pool was excellent! I would definitely go back but would prefer a different room, on the sea view side.

When we checked into our room we discovered a small card informing us that there would be no cleaning service unless we specifically requested it. We specifically requested a room clean at reception the following morning and left a swing ticket on the door handle requesting a room clean. We also informed them that the TV was now working, probably the remote batteries and we were assured that all would be attended to that day. After a long day we returned to find and could not enter because the key card was not programmed for our two day stay so I had to go to the reception to sort this out. We then entered our room to find that it had not been cleaned and made up and the TV was also still not working. No one had been in our room that day! We the had to order clean dry towels to be delivered whilst we made the bed and cleaned up the tea cups etc. The hotel advertise a coffee machine in each room but does not tell you that in a double room you are supplied with just 2 coffee capsules and if you do not specifically request a room clean, these 2 coffee capsules are to last the duration of your stay! We have stayed at hotels before where, for environmental reasons, you are asked if you actually require clean towels every day and I totally understand the logic but in these instance they still provide a daily chamber maid service.

We stay at the Hilton Bournemouth in September. We arrived at reception but there was no-one to help us unload the luggage from our car. I asked for the luggage trolley and when the reception realized that I was intent on using the trolley for my luggage, they immediately helped out. We booked a King Guest room, but we were upgraded to a King One Bedroom Suite with sea view. Reception took our luggage up to our room which was a nice touch. The room itself was very nice - there was a balcony with lovely sea views, a toilet, a large bathroom (with shower, toilet and bathtub) seating area and dining area. We stayed in a suite before (one the first floor), but this was much better. We had use of the small Executive Lounge which was nice because we could get soft drinks and coffee anytime. There is a happy hour 6-8pm serving wine, beer and snacks. I was impressed by the cheeseboard laid out every evening. Breakfasts were nice. There was a huge selection to choose from and they could cater to every need. The staff every morning was very welcoming, friendly and very accommodating. They were very nice people. My wife and mother-in-law had massages in the spa, and they loved them - very, very good service. I wish I had booked one myself. I only have some minor gripes; the minibar only contained two complimentary bottles of water. At night, we could hear the people in the room below us chatting. There was a strange pump sound coming from the bedroom door. These things are probably structural so there's no way of getting around them. Also, from our room we could hear the music from the nearby club, but it did not stop us from falling asleep. We bought our own drinks and the hotel barman was kind enough to give us glasses. I think the glassware could do with replacing because they looked very dull. Overall, another lovely stay at the hotel. The staff are very, very good - you can tell that they have been well trained. We look forward to our next stay at the hotel. It's a real gem. It's one of those hotels which makes so much sense.

No5 Durley Road ticked all the boxes for us... something reasonably priced for a short weekend away, free parking and in close, walkable, proximity to the town center. Staff were all friendly and helpful and allowed us to park our car free of charge both prior to check-in and a few hours after checking out which was a great help. Rooms were clean and well equipped and had seemingly recently been refurbished. Perhaps its something they do not offer but we didn't have a room refresh during our stay, no big deal but thought it worth mentioning. There was a nice small garden area ta the front as well and we found the area to be fairly quiet both day and night. Would stay again

The hotel lobby is beautiful, the restaurant food is good, the breakfast is rich, the waiter is very friendly, the service is good, the hotel is very close to the beach, the environment is beautiful, the water is clear and the sand is young! Highly recommended

We were at this property during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. The hotel is close to the Bournemouth Town Centre. I cannot say that this is walkable to the Beach. It takes a good 5 mins drive to the beach from the hotel. The Good things The reception team is fab especially Mikolaj. When we arrived the room was not ready as we arrived an hour early. He offered us free drinks while we waited for the check-in. The breakfast was good. They serve the hot breakfast on small plates rather than letting the guests make the mess. I liked this concept. And of course, you can order omelette or French toast which the cook happily makes for you. The onsite parking is small and cramp- try basement The worst part This is a pretty standard no frills hotel. It didn’t feel like a mid-range property either. The worst part is the dinner- Both the food as well as the staff. The food felt like heated from frozen- pretty bland. And I would not rather comment on the staff including the manager. I found it amazing how rude a person can be while working in an hospitality industry- the lady with grey hair (I don’t want to name and shame in the public forum. I was equally disappointed the way the matter was handled by the person who introduced himself as the manager.
