Last Drop Village Hotel
Advantages: Full usage of Spa, gym,pool Disadvantages: Choice of food served in main restaurant
We have recently returned from our 3-day break at this hotel. After reading other reviews of this hotel we were very apprehensive about our stay. On our arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff and made to feel very welcome. We were given very clear details of the facilities available to us and also breakfast and dinner times. Our executive room was lovely , clean and warm and well worth the extra supplement. Great choice at breakfast and carvery ... ...Inn. In my opinion we have had a very pleasurable stay,staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.Glad to see that the small quaint shops were still to the rear of the hotel which are not mentioned on their website. In my opinion there website does not do the hotel justice and needs some updating. If you want to stay in a traditional hotel then this is the one surroundings are lovely. Overall we have had a very pleasurable stay. ...

Rude, disinterested staff
Advantages: fabulous rooms and function suites Disadvantages: terrible food, god awful staff
I agree whole heartedly with the other reviewers comments. I have stayed there twice now,for my partners works christmas party last year and the year before. The rooms are stunning with amazing views but unfortunately the staff are rude at worst and disinterested and ineffectual at best.
The food at the parties was ok for mass catering and the entertainment that accompanied the meal was superb!! unlike the previous reviewer my experience of the ... ...so I ordered from the breakfast menu, I ordered the mackerel with poached egg and was told it will take 15 mins to cook, after 25 mins they came back and told me sorry there isn't any mackerel but you can have kippers so I chose the kippers with poached egg, 20 mins later it arrived, to my horror the kipper was stone cold and raw, I complained to the waitress and she went away in a very surly manner leaving the cold uncooked food in front of me and ...

Not the best but well worth a mention
Advantages: lovely conservatory breakfast room Disadvantages: not the prettiest from the front
The De Vere Hotels are a rather lovely "chain" of hotels which can be found all over the UK. They are not your cheapest brand of hotel prices range from approx £110 right up to £400 or so per night. Deals can be found all over the place though, I found my deal at lastminute which was £100 for b&b. The Hotel we stayed at was The De Vere in Southampton which was okay to look at but nothing special (basically a big brick building!) It has a massive ... ...was quite impressive looking with valet parking on offer and doorman at the entrance welcoming you in. I enjoyed my stay at the Southampton De Vere and would really recommend it especially if you can get a good deal! Also on dooyoo under the same name ...

Where's The Wifi, Where's The playstation
Advantages: Reasonably priced, centrally located accommodation Disadvantages: Not everything that was offered online was available
...for, part of the prestigious De Vere group the Royal Bath is situated on Bournemouth’s sea front, just a few yards from the beach, pier, park and Oceanarium. This grand looking hotel offers a fair bit of promise externally as it dominates a large portion of the sea front. Our arrival was different to say the least, as we stepped in the door we were greeted by a selection of guests who were incredibly overdressed leading me to believe initially I ... ...the room comes from the De Vere’s website which promised both Wifi access and an in room playstation. Unable to receive Internet access via my dongle (mobile broadband) I found myself without Internet access for my stay, there was not even a wired Internet option like a lot of hotels have. I could happily live without a playstation, but if I had company that had been expecting it like one of my kids, it could undoubtedly lead to disappointment. Breakfast ...

Cheap and cheerful
Advantages: Cheap and cheerful Disadvantages: Not a romantic stay
...very excited! She found the Premier Travel Inn and was pleased to find it had free parking and was very close to the tube station. Woohoo! So here's my pennies worth.

LOCATION

Kenton Road is in a pretty good location and the best thing you notice once you drive in is the large FREE car park. This was important for us as we didn't really know the area and so needed somewhere safe to park. Nearby there are ... ..."""""""""""""""""""
THE HOTEL
"""""""""""""""""""
Premier Lodge and Travel Inn have joined together to create the Premier Travel Inn. And they are the leading UK company when it comes to budget value hotels. If you need a cot in your room be sure to let them know when booking the room. This will save hassle once you get there.
Breakfast buffet at the hotel costs £7.50 which is good if you can eat lots in the morning- but for us it wasn't worth ...
