The location is decent, but the sea view is absolutely fantastic – a real highlight for any stay in Bournemouth. The service was friendly, and the facilities are well-equipped. The room is also a good size.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent stay in Hilton hotel Bournemouth while celebrating my wedding anniversary.
I had spoken with the reception staff and specifically requested special anniversary arrangements in the room, including petals and swans. The staff confirmed that these arrangements would be made, and I clearly provided the timing as well. At the agreed time, my wife and I left the room to go swimming so the surprise could be prepared. However, when we returned, there was nothing arranged in the room at all. This was extremely disappointing, as it was meant to be a special surprise for our anniversary.
In addition, I had brought a cake with me and had already shown it to the staff along with the candles. I requested a simple matchbox so I could light the candles, but even this could not be arranged. This further added to my frustration and disappointment with the service.
Furthermore, upon checking in on 24th December and entering the room, I noticed that several basic amenities were missing, including room slippers, bathrobes, and toothpaste. I had to request these items multiple times and eventually had to go to the reception in person to remind them. Only after doing so were the items finally sent to the room.
Overall, this experience fell well below expectations, especially given the importance of the occasion we were celebrating. I was genuinely upset by the lack of attention to detail and poor coordination from the staff.
I hope you will take this feedback seriously and ensure better service for future.
Kind regards
The room was great, spacious and air conditioned, and the shower was excellent too (hot water always on demand immediately). The provided breakfast buffet was quite nice too, if a little lacking in options. There weren't that many other facilities provided, but the staff were all pleasant and polite and the location is excellent, right next to dolphin centre, only a short walk away. No complaints.
Wonderful hotel and excellent location just 15 minutes walk through a beautiful park to Bournemouth beach, our room was in a very quiet environment, It has a swimming pool and games room, super quiet and cozy.
I highly recommend it to everyone who visits bornemouth affordable price.

Hotel room was sparkling clean and the back rooms have a view of the back garden. With the chirps of hummingbirds early in the morning. How wonderful !

Every time I am in Bournemouth we try and stay at the Hampton. The hotel is clean, the rooms are nice, clean and spacious, the breakfast is well cooked and presented. The check was smooth, the parking facilities are brilliant and only cost £13.50 a day which is reasonable if you are staying in a hotel. You are minutes away from the various shops and restaurants. The seafront is about a 20 minute walk from the hotel. One thing to bear in mind you a climbing a steep hill to get to the Hampton. The Hilton is just next to it but the climb is not as steep. The rooms were clean and fresh the shower was powerful, the beds were nice to sleep on and the pillows were nice and soft. Had a very good sleep both nights.
The room wasn’t what I expected for the price. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the water pressure in the bathroom for the shower was awful. We had a better shower in the indoor pool at the other hotel. Some of the staff we very friendly but others came across rude. Other than that the location was perfect
Very Good

GGuest UserIt was very nice the rooms were clean and the beach was very close.The staff was very kind and nice,I would definitely book again i am very pleased with this hotel my kids also loved this hotel more than me. I would most definitely recommend this hotel to others. However I would say if there is a family you book the rooms near each other in advance. Overall my whole family loved this hotel.

DDiana 1994In general everything was great.
We suggest to change mattress as both we and our friends had terrible back pain but this is of course just a preference and not everyone wants a hard mattress as we do.
Apart from that we love it all in this hotel.
Thankyou .
88285SueHDouble sea view room with balcony. Spacious bedroom with nice seating area. Clean and in good decorative order. Comfy bed, quality linen. Wonderful, original metal-framed window and French door opening out onto huge balcony. Unfortunately, the sea view tuned out to be when looking left from the end of the balcony and not from the actual bedroom. Kettle needed descaling. Bathroom well appointed, nice towels and quality Elemis toiletries, but would benefit from a really thorough deep clean and a lick of paint.
Absolutely fabulous public rooms, not ‘dated’, as some reviews suggest, but furniture and fixtures appropriately in keeping with the style and period of the building. Wonderful!
Beautiful outdoor pool area and indoor spa. Lots of outdoor seating areas. Extensive woodland to the rear of the hotel. Just a few minutes walk to Knoll Beach, through the hotel’s extensive grounds (which includes tennis courts and a golf course) just over the road. Absolutely no information provided about any of these brilliant amenities, or indeed anything at all, in our bedroom. Also, no information about Wi-Fi, no information about breakfast times, no information about how to even contact Reception on the telephone provided in the room …
The food at the evening meal was exceptional but was let down by the very slow service as staff focused on setting tables for the following day’s breakfast - which turned out to be so disappointing that it was hard to believe that both meals had originated from the same kitchen.
GGuest UserStunning hotel, great location. Everything was fantastic. Small thing is room 109 has a small frosted window with no view. When opening it opens to a dirty mucky roof. We did not leave it open as vermin might enter the room. We also mentioned it was a 40th bday but no extras not even a note.
JJahangir JaneWe stayed here as a couple and had a mixed experience. The hotel has its charms, but also a few drawbacks.
Rooms & Amenities:
The rooms were quite small and felt congested, including the toilet where the commode placement was very cramped. The amenities provided were basic — just soap and a combined hair and body wash. Surprisingly, there was no handwash, no refrigerator, and no hair dryer in the room. On the plus side, the room was clean, and we had no issues with hygiene.
Staff & Service:
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant.
Facilities & Atmosphere:
The swimming pool was lovely, and the view from the poolside was amazing, directly overlooking the sea. The lounge area shared the same beautiful view — a great spot to relax in the evening. There was even a small jewelry corner inside the hotel, so beware — you might end up buying a ring or necklace if your partner starts browsing!
Other Notes:
The lift was possibly the oldest I've ever used — it really felt like stepping back into the 90s, which in a way added some quirky character to the place.
Food:
The full English breakfast was genuinely very good — one of the highlights of our stay.
Overall Value:
The pricing was reasonable, but for better value, it would be great if they included essentials like a refrigerator, handwash, and hair dryer in the rooms.
GGuest UserAmazing stay at Hotel Celebrity. Located very near to the scenic view, it offers great and spacious rooms. I stayed at room number 246 and the room was quite spacious clean tidy along with a private bathroom that had a bath tub. The stay was very comfortable and the hotel staff were very friendly and attentive to any query a customer might have. Breakfast includes bacon and other vegetarian options but there was just one spoon to use for bacon as well as the vegetarian options which can lead to cross contamination and for someone like me who does not eat bacon it was a deal breaker. However if a separate spoon would be kept to avoid cross contamination then it would have been even more amazing. Overall the stay and the locality is nice and the staff is quite friendly too. Would highly recommend Hotel Celebrity to everyone willing to travel to Bournemouth for a vacation or leisure time.
GGuest UserWe had a 3 day stay at the Harbour Hotel in Christchurch.
We ate dinner there twice - once at ”The Upper Deck” and once at ”The Jetty”. Both meals were excellent: we had lovely tables, the food was great and the service made us feel special. The experience at breakfast was the same, with attentive service from all the staff and great food served on the open veranda.
Although we were using the hotel as a base for our walks around the area, we also used the spa which was well maintained and had all the facilities you could want.
We did have an issue with our assigned room which was not as ordered from Trip.com. Although the reception team reconfirmed they had allocated the room accurately based on what Trip.com had ordered for us, the Cherry the reception manager took it on herself to compensate us for the mismatch.
From start to finish the service at The Harbour was outstanding. All the staff that served us in reception, the bar, the restaurants and the spa were helpful, efficient and friendly. Although our room was smaller than we'd ordered, it was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable.
All in all, this was one of the nicest hotels we've stayed in, this in no small part due to the professionalism and caring attitude of the staff team. We will return !
GGuest UserIt our first stay at this Hotel. It’s in desperate need of
updating, the bed was really soft, the carpet was worn in places in the bedroom, but on the plus side there was plenty of storage space unlike your travel lodges etc.But It was clean and tidy with tea makers in the room.
We didn’t get chance to use any of the facilities because we didn’t have time, the swimming pool looked good and there was a bar, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of selection beer wise, but that seems to be the same in most Hotels.
