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.

I love Bournemouth, my grandparents lived in Queens Park and I spent most of my childhood holidays there. The beaches are lovely and clean with safe swimming and our dog was able to run in the permitted areas.
The grandchildren loved the climbing centre on the Pier.

Lovely buzzing seaside town with great amenities and safe beaches. Food very expensive at seaside areas, hard to go economy with kids in tow. Bournemouth pier is always lovely - really good toilet facilities at the beach - would be helpful to have some water taps at beach/beachfront juncture to wash off.

I read reviews of Bournemouth on Tripadvisor before I went but after I had booked.
I had been many times in my youth, only living in The New Forest myself but this was a total culture shock.
The place has turned into an absolute dive, I could think of more choice words but they wouldn't get printed.
I wanted to go to the shops as well as the beach but there doesn't seem to be any shops left, only foreign cafes/restaurants with dirty uncared for frontage. I struggled even to find a decent coffee shop.
I went in the park with the aviarys but even these seemed grimy.
Eventually I gave up and got on a bus to Boscombe which isn't the nicest of places but at least has a few shops and a lovely looking arcade with finally, a great italian coffee shop.
I planned to treat myself to a nice meal but sadly couldn't find anywhere that looked nice and ended up in a basic cafe with egg and chips. Nothing wrong with egg and chips but I wanted something a bit special for a change.
The beach at Bournemouth was visited in the evening and this is the only thing that seems to have stayed the same.
I will be looking to visit anywhere else but Bournemouth next time.

The hotel room was spotless.
The hotel room was spotless. A bit tight on the teabags & milk, we had to keep asking for more to make a cup of tea. The position of the hotel was perfect, the beach, shops & pubs/cafes were just a 5 minute walk away.
The bar upstairs was really nice, all the staff were friendly except for the guy on reception when we went to check out on Saturday morning, he was quite rude which my friend & I felt was bad, especially when greeting people at reception, it’s important to be friendly & approachable but this guy was certainly not! The bar staff were lovely though, very warm and friendly. We didn’t eat at the hotel as it was a bit expensive, so we went into town.

Bournemouth town centre much like any other town high street...
Bournemouth town centre much like any other town high street with closed, empty shops and no soul.
Some of the area around Boscombe is very rough looking but we didn't feel unsafe
Weekend vibe away helped by actually seeing sunshine rather than the rain and thunderstorms we left at home :)
We’ve never felt more welcome with our dog than here! The love and attention was simply amazing. We had a little doggy welcome pack and a customized map with all the dog friendly things to do. Pam was very attentive and gave us advice that had us visit some real Bournemouth gems. The room was extremely spacious and comfortable. Very soft bed and pillows that guaranteed a good night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing. The location was perfect - quiet but also very close to the beach. A real home away from home!
We had a great stay at The Hedley Townhouse. The hotel is spotless, nicely decorated and the rooms are nice and comfortable. The owners are super friendly and caring for their guests. They put breakfast items in the tea room in the morning, which was very nice before starting the day exploring the area. The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach in a quiet area with dining options around. It was a great experience all around and we would stay there again if coming back to Bournemouth!
Sue, the proprietor was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I needed Oat Milk and it was supplied.
The breakfast was the best we have ever had. The choice was Continental, Full English or both, top quality.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with ensuite facilities.
There was off road parking available.
The hotel is just a 5 min walk from the beach and town, also just 45 min walk along seafront to Bournemouth.
We will definitely be coming back...
Everything was nice n clean. Bus stop just outside the building. Co op down the flat. Great location. Close from the town, station n beach too.. There is no staff as its not a Hotel. It's just a family run business. Apartment is nice n spacious. There's only 1 double size bed in the bedroom. And the other is sofa cum bed..thats a king size.. in the living room. The apartment has washing machine n a drier too.. thats a plus point I could say.
This was the best nights sleep me and my partner had in a long time! The hotel, room and gardens were decorated beautifully. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was phenomenal! Boscombe beach was 2 minutes away, and Bournemouth was 5 minutes on the bus - in fact we walked back from Bournemouth along the beach which didn’t take long at all. Couldn’t fault the hotel or our stay even if we tried!
This hotel is perfectly situated for an easy walk to music events at O2 Academy Bournemouth. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, the hotel was quiet even though many guests were staying there. The breakfast buffet manager was friendly and the food offering was very good with everything well laid out and to a very good standard. Good hot shower and beds were average but fine for a night. Free parking was great.
The hotel is located about 5 mins walk from the beach. The room was of a good size. We never added breakfast to our booking because of the £15.95 charge per person. We thought the car park was very expensive regardless of location. We were charged £15 per night and even struggled to find space to park the car properly.
Overall the facility were good and we hope to stay again when we return to Bournemouth.
Large ensuite room with sea view was dated but spotlessly clean, facilities included a coffee pod machine, fridge and safe which was a bonus. Located close to the town and seafront with convenient parking in BIC centre, the Crab restaurant which is part of the hotel is excellent, as was the breakfast. All staff members were very polite and helpful, this is now becoming a rare feature.
I loved this beautiful hotel in Bournemouth city centre. My room, bed, facilities, cleanliness, location, and value were all fabulous. I was staying alone and felt as comfortable and safe as if I were in my own home. Will book again when I travel to Bournemouth.
The hotel had friendly, very helpful staff… the location was absolutely perfect for going into Bournemouth or walking the beach to sandbanks. It was clean and had everything you needed… I can’t believe how good it was for the price!!
I strongly recommend you to stay at this hotel. Stylish, clean, little touches, decoration make it a great relaxing place to stay, I stayed 3rd times in Washington House Hotel, handy for town and so close to Bournemouth Beach
Absolutely everything Debbie was a lovely host and so accommodating. Our room was just perfect. Spotlessly clean couldn't fault a thing. The best hotel we have stayed in all the times we have come to Bournemouth.
I really like the hotel, amazing staff, not far from the beach and city centre. If will have chance to come to Bournemouth again will be happy to stay in this hotel again- highly recommended 💙💛
Friendly staff, cleanliness, care, Living room,
environment, value for money and the accessibility to beach and restaurants.
One of the best hotels to stay in Bournemouth for families
Great little Cody hotel right near to the town center and beach/pier. Man on reception was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return with my wife when next in Bournemouth.
Great hotel within easy walking distance to the town and the beach. Large bedroom, nice bar area and great breakfast. All staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.
