Cari Vila di Bournemouth

"The hotel is okay, dated but serviceable, but for an old property with beautiful staircases and features, it could be truly stunning. Was warned about the noise and read previous reviews so I went prepared. The disconnect here is context and expectations. The context is that I guess the owners make more money from the bar, entertainment and nightclub, and that the rooms are just a less profitable add on, hence the dated decor and poor maintenance. Expectation is where this place falls down: as a...

"Great location, but unfortunately our stay wasn’t as comfortable as we’d hoped, especially as it was our anniversary. Room 306! The biggest issue was the air conditioning, which wasn’t cooling the room at all despite being switched on. We reported it several times but were told the hotel was fully booked and couldn’t move us. We were given small fans, but they weren’t sufficient, and we had to sleep in the heat throughout our stay. Our room telephone also wasn’t working. We reported this and...

"The big plus is the swimming pool / jacuzzi / steam room and the very well equipped gym. The room was very pleasant and well appointed and the bed very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were good.

The carpet in our room was extremely dirty and did not appear to have been properly vacuumed. The bathroom and toilet were also dirty, and the sink was broken which makes it look even dirtier.The overall cleanliness and maintenance were far below...

"We had a wonderful stay, the whole experience exceeded expectations. However a few point for improvement to make it a true 5 star experience. Another bigger / faster lift is required or easier access to the outdoor pool area via the ramp, for my mother who is 82. The aircon in our upgraded room (326) did not cool the room to the required temp and sleeping was difficult. In addition more sun umbrellas and more comfortable sun lounger's would make the outdoor pool facilities...

"Nice hotel, fantastic spa. Sadly the staff are overworked but they are very professional and work their butt's off."
