DO NOT STAY HERE

Was told our room was upgraded, didn't get to see our original room but if this was an upgrade our intended room must have been really bad! Turned the tap on and the water came out yellow, took it to reception and was told that its due to the water supply being connected to the heating system! They didn't have any spare rooms apparently, although the hotel was very quiet. Bought water in to use in the bathroom as I didn't fancy getting dysentery from brushing my teeth. We we're very lucky to have a balcony attached to our room, but couldn't use it as the balcony was in such poor disrepair it was unsafe. Balcony doors also didn't lock, or even close properly with about a cm gap in the wood work! Visited the spa the next morning and found an old local man drying his smelly clothes in the sauna. Quite possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I can't recommend enough that you DO NOT book here, now matter what the reason!

Extremely Disappointed – Not 4-Star Standard ★☆☆☆☆

I stayed in Room 83 at The Bath Hotel in Bournemouth, and it was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had—especially for a supposed 4-star property. The room is awkwardly located in the entrance to the Health Club and feels like a repurposed storage area. It genuinely resembled a cupboard under the stairs. The walls were paper-thin, so I could hear every conversation and door closing in the busy hallway outside. It was impossible to relax, let alone sleep. The condition of the room was far below standard. Dust was thick around the low-level air vents (photos attached), and the bed was propped up with mismatched wooden blocks—completely unacceptable. The bedding even had visible burn holes. The bathroom appeared to be a cheap, self-contained unit with a persistent strange smell. Filtration devices had been fitted to the taps and shower, which gave the impression the hotel’s water supply may not be safe to drink. This room simply should not be offered to guests. The overall experience was far from the quality expected from a 4-star hotel. I would strongly advise avoiding Room 83 at a minimum—and personally, I wouldn’t return to the property at all.

Thumbs up.

We had a nice stay. The staff were friendly. It's in a great location for the beach and restaurants. Many people comment on the rooms being out of date, but I think it gives a nostalgic feeling of British seaside hotels. The shower pressure was fine. There is a large carpark next to the hotel that cost us £26 for 24 hours (Ringo app). The hotel is nice.

A lot of stairs and corridors to get to my room quite complicated to find the way. I asked for a fridge/frizzer as a special request but didn’t received only after I had to upgrade for a room with fridge which even didn’t cool the food. Even to have a late check out -2 hours I had to pay. Very disappointed

This is a grand hotel, very convenient for the beach but the overall feel was ruined by the food served in the dining room which was rank. I can think of no other way to describe it. I mentioned it to the dining staff who apologised but said nothing they could do.

Don’t bother

Had to move rooms three times. First room has a tiny window that opened onto a boxed terrace area, this was filled with bird poo & dead birds, it was very smelly and dirty. Second room had broken glass all over the floor, as well as used cups under the table & tv unit. When we spoke with reception they just kept sending us to different rooms, we must have lapped the hotel 3 times (and it’s not small). The room we ended up in wasn’t ideal but the best of the 3. Not worth what we paid at all.

Outdated hotel, no air con makes the room like a hot box. You have to have the windows open but that opens up the sound of pouring water from what seems like a broken pipe. The breakfast was abysmal. The juice was watered down and the one coffee machine broken and not proving anything but black coffees with cheap beans. You also have to pay to use the swimming facilities and everything else is an add on to the room price. Really disappointed and quite frankly surprised this is still classed as 4 star.

My wife and I stayed there for 3 nights last week. We were looked after extremely well from the moment we booked in until we left. We were fortunate to have a room that had a door out to the gardens and that was close to the bar and restaurant areas. It made a change to stay in an old hotel that had loads of charachter instead of the more modern style hotels. All staff were attentive, polite and welcoming. We will certainly stay there again.
