Top Parkstone Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

8/10 Good

"A great place to stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It is a great location with easy access to christchurch and surrounding areas. My only issue is the size of the doorway to the toilet. I accept the structure of the building, but it is quite quirky and low."

The Beach House

8/10 Good

"Stunningly beautiful building. Room was tiny but clean. Shower was hot, some mould in places on walls/ceilings. Abandoned fridge freezer visible right outside the window which wasn't great. Good location and easy walk into Milton to some great restaurants, and to Hurst Castle. Value for money was good only because we'd had a discounted rate through Hotels.com if we'd paid full price then probably wouldn't have been such good value. Breakfast was really poor. Overcooked, dried food, no butter on the table, and majority of items were gone by 9am (breakfast is 8-10) and weren't replenished. Service was OK ( a couple of people were great, a couple not so good!). Felt more like a Wetherspoons which is a real shame as the building itself is lovely and location fabulous."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed my short break here. The bar area is smart and welcoming and the staff friendly. Excellent breakfast provision as well. The actual bedrooms are old-school but decent enough and clean. The pool is fine but check if there's any planned classes with front desk first. In a quiet area but not too far from town/Winter Gardens. Would return for my next Bournemouth break."

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel with a fun history. It has seen better days of course, some areas a bit cold or looking old. But it is a very impressive building, and I was delighted with my stay. The garden and the terrace at the back are great and when you go up to the terrace it's a nice view to the sea. It's a good location, and right beside the Russel Coates Museum which is definitely worth a look."
