The Suncliff Hotel, Bournemouth

Advantages: Great facilities and location
Disadvantages: Some rooms on the small side

...Getting there Our family stayed at the Queen’s Hotel Bournemouth for 2 nights back in May 2007. The drive down from North London is 112 miles and took around 3 Hours 20 Minutes which included a 30 minute stop over. The Hotel is located on Meyrick Road, just a minutes walk from the sea front and a 15 minute walk to the Pier. There is room for about 15 cars in the car park at the front of the Hotel, with room for a further 20 cars at the rear. This is free to use for guests and you give your car registration details when you check in. The hotel has 109 rooms and deluxe suites situated over 4 floors. There is a lift near the reception to all floors except lower ground which has just 6-8 steps, so the Hotel is ideal for the elderly. Rooms Choices of rooms range from four-poster bridal suite rooms to deluxe, family and executive... Read review

Advantages: Location.
Disadvantages: too expensive the other hotels on the SAME street!. TINY bathroom.

...We were a couple who stayed for 2 nights there. We chose it based on the positive feedback it got from another tourism website. The comments/reviews were suspiciously too good to be true; and I was right about my skeptism! A lot of people were raving about the breakfast: very disappointing and untasty. This hotel does not offer anything special or unique. The breakfast area is noisy and small. The rooms were kept to a minimum, but some were better than others, i must say. I'd rate it 8/10 cleanliness: a dirty dark unidentified spot on the toilette seat. There were lots of hotels and B&B's that were literally across the road (which is very narrow!) that offered rooms for less than half the price. Unrecommended.... Read review

Disadvantages: Based on the price, none.

...I often stay in Bournemouth when visiting my Dad who only has a one bedroom flat. I have tried a few hotels and this one was okay. When I stayed in the hotel in September 2008 the rooms were undergoing a refit and being modernised. I managed to stay in one of the rooms that has already been modernised and it provided a comfortable stay. I paid £59 for a one night stay in a double room on a room only basis but this was still in high season. Room rates in low season are approximately £25 lower in price. The room had an en suite bathroom with a bath that had a shower head and shower screen built on to it. Their was an LCD TV screen mounted on the wall of the bedroom although the number of channels was fairly limited. Tea and coffee making facilities, extra pillows and blankets in a cupboard. The room was warm, adjustable central... Read review
