De Vere Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth

...that compared to the other De Vere chain hotels which I have visited, I found the décor to be slightly dated and did not seem to be up to the standard of their other hotels. *Breakfast* Breakfast is served in the light and airy garden room and offers a wide time span so can suit the early bird or those who wish to have a lie in. We found the breakfast buffet to have a good variety of foods with a hot and cold selection. The breakfast was self serve ...
...to be below the usual De Vere standards. The hotel was elegant though dated and looked in need of a re decoration and some areas needed a touch of tender loving care.

Review of De Vere Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth

So upon arriving at this hotel on a beautiful February day I initially thought what a splendid location ...

They were my first impressions of the hotel however i did encounter a number of problems on my short stay. I was transferred over to the Hilton which was only a minor inconvenience (can't complain as i wasn't paying) and was directly across the road. Yet when i arrived at the Hilton and explained they had no idea of ...
