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 centered 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 heads east to neighboring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also has hotels near the BIC (Bournemouth International Center) in the West Cliff area. This convention center and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon with 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. Nearby, there's a Grade I registered historic 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 Center, is Bournemouth Airport.

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 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 :)

Most things are within walking distance.
We ate at Harry Ramsdens, fish and chips is a must at the seaside.
Car parking can be a challenge, book a hotel with a carpark.

Beautiful beaches for long walks, plenty of eateries along the way. Look out for the goats
Pretty village of Westbourne with lovely shops and cafes
Bournemouth International Centre was great for a concert
Stayed here to attend the Bournemouth air festival. Perfect location minutes from the beach and sitting outside at the bar looking down on the evenings firework display was a wonderful end to an amazing day. Hotel was very clean and staff very helpful so what more could anyone ask? The hotel has huge potential and if the tired rooms were refreshed the sky’s the limit for this ‘could be perfect’ hotel. And yes we would certainly stay again.
Really nice hotel, with a spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean room. I've stayed in many hotels in Bournemouth, and this place is a thousand times better than what you get for the same price in the main town. Great location, with a pretty beach and a lovely 30-min walk to Bournemouth along the seafront, and buses every 5 minutes. The management were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.
For the money this was the best value and most comfortable hotel with an excellent location that I have ever stayed in! At £31 for the night I had a double room (very small but completely adequate) with Tv, coffee/tea making, table and chair plus an ensuite bathroom. The radiators were hot, the water was hot, and it was clean. 5 minute walk into the center of Bournemouth. Fantastic value for money.
Everything was amazing and comfortable, the lovely gentleman at the reception was extremely accommodating and kind, and even helped us chill our wine and brought us wine glasses to our room.
The breakfast next door was one of the best I've had at a hotel in the UK, and the staff was also amazing. All in all 10 out of 10, we will come back for a longer stay!
I would highly recommend this hotel for a family group- the staff were friendly and outstanding in trying to make everything run smoothly for us -they went over and above our expectations.
The food was excellent both breakfast and evening. Checking in and out was great and the location was perfect- we could walk into the town and to the beach.
My first experience with Capital One Hotel was quite good from first minute being welcomed by receptionist Jamal, very professional and friendly service. The location is great, because it has a stunning view being close to the beach, Lower Bournemouth Gardens and the best view points. Central Shops are close to the hotel
We could not fault our stay, excellent value for the money, The staff were friendly and made our stay a very happy experience, the hotel is just outside of the shopping centre and beach area, but a walkable distance just down the hill or if you didn't fancy walking, the bus stop is just around the corner from the hotel.
It was in the best position for the beach,pier, lower gardens and the Bournemouth International centre. But more importantly the owner was very polite and welcoming and there were no petty rules and regulations. The whole hotel was clean and the breakfast was delicious and everyone was catered for
It was an interesting place to stay with quite an unusual decor. The hotel was well maintained and all area spotlessly clean. The room was comfortable , but the shower room was a little cosy. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We could easily walk to restaurants and into Bournemouth town.
The Hotel is sited in one of the best locations for Bournemouth. It's just a short walk to the beach (and away from the crowded parts); as well as this it's not too far to walk to the town centre. The En-suite room was good, and the staff friendly. As well as this it's good value for money!
Hotel and staff were delightful🤗.
Delicious afternoon tea with the best selection of vegetarian sandwiches I've ever had 😋.
Room was excellent 😍.
Spa treatments were relaxing and you got the full 60mins 😁 not at all rushed, and the relaxation room was pure indulgence 😌
The staff were great, so easy to communicate with reception on WhatsApp as well as face to face. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were also excellent.
Great hotel with good parking. We walked into Bournemouth and left the car parked for our whole stay.
The location was excellent to amenities and the beach.
The actual hotel (although in places it looked a bit worn out) was very clean and dealt with all of the issues we required apart from maybe the double bed could have been a bit bigger.
Well done.
Stayed here for a birthday night out in Bournemouth. Good location, cheap taxis to the main night life area.
Free parking in the hotel, just make sure you register your car.
Rooms were good for what we needed it for.
Cheap and cheerful.
The value for money was fantastic and it was a 5 min walk from the seafront. My main reason was to go to a gig at the Bournemouth international centre. I will definitely use this hotel again as it Ofers excellent value for money.
Bournemouth is a terrific location, and the Royal Bath Hotel- the first hotel built to accommodate visitors to the area in 1838- is in a near perfect location, close to the Pier and overlooking the East Cliff
The best hotel that we’ve stayed in, whist in Bournemouth. Perfect location for the BIC & beach, the former being why we regularly come to Bournemouth. All staff were lovely, full English breakfast delicious!
The location is great - 10 minute stroll down to the beach and ideal that we could park at the hotel. The staff were really friendly. Our family room had everything we needed.
It's very close to beach and town centre with a variety of shops nearby.. it's's very quiet and a safe location from where you can comfortably discover Bournemouth.
