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
First time at a Holiday inn. The staff very welcoming and helpful, and the room was spotless.
2 night stay and the included breakfast was top notch. Help yourself cooked breakfast. Large and very comfy bed, amenities were great. Double shower and toiletries all readily available.
Decent beer as well.
But just remember to take change if you're not paying by card as they don't have any.
Looking forward to going back early next year.
We just wanted a reliable, welcoming, safe and CLEAN base for one night at a fantastic price and we got exactly that here at Laguna. It was no- frills, eg no fridge in room ,or edgy decor and no bonus toiletries ...but that is exactly what we didn't need! It was a basic but spotlessly clean room with all the essentials you need for a good night's stay; 2 freshly made beds, an unsuite with hot shower, towels and flannels for 2, a tv with remote, WiFi, tea making facilities and a lockable door with 24 hr security. The welcoming host was friendly and efficient and we were very confident we had chosen the perfect place for our budget. We were within walking distance of the beach and town, with a handy late night shop just a few minutes walk away. This time we didn't experience the rest of the facilities available, such as the swimming pool, games room or bar/ entertainment..but it was good to know they were an option. Thanks for making our trip an enjoyable one Laguna; we planning returning in the future.
Check in was very quick. We had a family room with a double and a single basement room. Was get nice, clean and spacious. Plenty of parking, 10 my ns walk to the beach and 10 mins walk to shops and restaurants.

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

Comfortable hotel near the town centre. The rooms are nice and beds are comfortable. Good breakfast, friendly staff
Lovely hotel with great facilities. Very friendly polite staff. Room was clean beds comfortable. Tea and coffee in room. Breakfast was good lots of options. Spa facilities good with a nice pool.
Fabulous location, just across from Knoll Beach. Tasty breakfast. Loved the retro, quirky feel of the hotel and its fabulous sea views. It would be nice if the new owners spent money on improving and refurbishing the hotel as is, rather than on trying to turn it into something different.
This was our second visit to this hotel, we have unfortunately had the same experience twice. The hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. Rooms are lovely, Beds are huge and extremely comfy. Fluffy, luxury towels. The Pool area and pool are lovely, feel like you are abroad on a hot day. Although it is a fight for a Sun lounger. However it’s completely let down by the staff. The bar staffs attitude was appalling, it was an inconvenience for them to get our drinks each time. We had a Roast dinner at Old Harry Rocks - staff were much better in there and v accommodating, although I do believe this this a separate company to the hotel and it shows. Beef was tough in parts but still nice. Pork was lovely. On booking, breakfast is charged at £22 at but in the hotel it’s £15 so don’t fall into that trap. The staff had no idea what they were doing. They first couldn’t get our drinks order right, then they messed up our simple breakfast order. Some of us nearly finishing our breakfast before others even got their meal. The breakfast itself was very small, we were also only given half a mushroom?? For £22/£15 I would at least expect to have a whole Mushroom… They then didn’t know how to use the card machine.. Before we left we used the Spa, small but nice. Sauna was closed & pool was freezing. Hot Tub also wasn’t very warm. Overall it was not a great experience, we will not be returning. To pay £260 minimum for a room for extremely poor service is criminal.
Lovely experience! I stayed here for one night. The staff were so nice. I got the Patrick Swayze room - very happy with that. The hotel has clearly been upgrading - the stairs were beautiful. My room itself was a bit dated, but I understand that they are in the process of doing them up. The bed though was very comfortable, and the price I paid very reasonable. Would definitely book again! It would be nice to see some British celebrities featured - maybe Gregg Wallace or Judi Dench. Leading to my room it was mostly American actors, and I didn't see any home grown talent. I would definitely stay here again.
We 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 !
Very happy with my stay at the Harrington Hotel. Very comfortable room, excellent service in the reception and restaurant. I was able to park near the hotel entrance which was a bonus!
