We have stayed at hotels all over the world and were rather worried when we read the reviews here. However, we had a fab couple of days over the Valentine's time. All the staff greeted us whenever they saw us and went out of their way to help. We hadn't asked for a sea view but got one any way... More

Just come home from this amazing hotel stayed 13th to 15th Feb 2012 and I have to say I read reviews before I went and was expecting something poor only to find those people must have stayed somewhere else. This hotel was second to none for price and experience. It was typically quintessential English seaside hotel from a bygone era... More

I decided on the Royal Bath in Bournemouth for a weekend away with my wife as it boasted a Leisure Suite with a steam room. As we checked in we were advised of no steam room - out of order. Disappointment 1. Disappointment 2 was the £20 parking charge. Number 3 was the room - small, but at least it... More

And at £3.60 for a coffee and £16.00 for a room service ham sandwich I don't think it will take them long. Very grubby, freezing and desperately in need of attention. I paid £69 for a one night stay.. There is a lovely travel lodge literally over the road. Book that! More

Have just returned from our 4th trip to The Royal Bath in a couple of years. It is in a perfect location in Bournemouth only acouple of minutes walk to beach and town. The Royal Bath has so much character yes it is in bad need of some refurbishment. We were upgraded to sea view room for small charge which... More

I stayed at the hotel for two nights last weekend. After queing for 10 mins to check in I was handed a card for the room door, I arrived at the door quite some distance away and found that the door used a key not a card! So back to the front desk again to join another queue! The room... More

The Royal Bath Hotel has clearly seen better days and the De Vere group need to spend some cash on the hotel. The hotel itself is ideally situated just up the hill from the pier and beach. It's grounds extend to one of the upper promenades overlooking the sea. On arrival the car parking arrangement is odd. You cannot enter... More

we stayed there on a weekend break. staff are defensive - no wonder. we had a room with no heating - coldest weekend of the winter. the public areas were cold too. bars poorly organised breakfast is only saving grace - fabulous and the only friendly people in the hotel. we shan't return. More

Booked though lastminute.com under a secret hotel. Great value for £49.00 land view excluding breakfast. Requested an accessible room. The hotel will put a ramp down at the front door for wheelchair users. Tax exempt vehicles can park free in the car park next to the hotel. My husbands ultr light scooter only just fitted in the lift. The hotel... More
