Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth

Nice clean budget hotel right in the sea front close to the parks and town

Really good Hotel, very close to the beach and city centre, staff was very nice to us. The only thing was that they woke us up on the first morning because they thought we were going to check out on that day and we weren’t.

We had a wonderful stay at The Royal Bath Hotel! The location is absolutely incredible—right by the sea and just a short walk to the town centre, making it perfect for exploring Bournemouth. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. I’d especially like to mention Timor at reception, who was exceptionally kind and helpful!. The service overall was exceptional, would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to returning!

Antique hotel in a very good location close to the beach however no nothing is guaranteed by the hotel. There is no option to book parking (first come first serve basis), they can’t guarantee a good view to the sea even through you book a sea view room (you can end up to the side of the hotel which allows you a glimpse to the sea and that’s not what you really want and pay for). When trying to call the hotel goes to a customer service desk then they transfer you to the main reception which ends up with a dropped call several times considering the call is being charged per minute (we’re not in the 80’s, take some ownership for this please), if you finally get through they won’t be able to reserve a parking space at the hotel and guide you to park elsewhere (this you can literally do yourself without the hassle and waste of time). None of these (parking and room selection) are communicated precisely until you check in which in essence makes no sense when you want to plan your stay ahead. Overall the staff is kind and friendly so no improvement needed here, the opportunity stands for the hotel management who implement procedures and policies. The rooms have a heavy smell due to the age of the building, there is a brochure that explains refurbishment undergoing in that sense. Wifi - you can have daily access if you pay for wifi (I believe it was £7/24 hours) , this is also a thumbs down nowadays (tips: if you want to charge for wifi include this in the overall price fees so people don’t obviously pick on this or just offer it with the stay like a respectable business - a coffee shop where you spend £3 for a coffee offers it for free on a daily basis, think about it). Looking at breakfast - there is full English or cereal, oats and fruit. The terrace looks pretty nice, well looked after, a nice oasis to relax your senses listening to the sea waves. There is a chess board on a bigger scale just on the terrace, this if a nice setup and addition to the hotel vibe. Thank you for the welcoming, until next time look forward to your improvements updates.

Very good service. Modern and smart bar/restaurant with nice gardens. Room needs updating though, very basic!

I had a beautiful clean room with lovely sea views. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Overall, it is great value for money and a fantastic location
