We stayed here for 2 nights in mid May and had a very enjoyable experience. Once from the beginning when we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much and the staff were all very friendly. At breakfast the service was excellent too, with the coffee on continuous supply. It was in a great location to... More

We were in Bournemouth for a convention at BIC and had been booked into the Ullswater, reception was fast and efficient, and our room though not large was on the 3rd floor, however there was a small, not modern, but efficient lift which answered our calls more quickly than some with high level software. The shower room had a rather... More

Not having stayed at Bournemouth before, the task of finding a nice hotel that fitted our budget was as daunting as ever. Then we located details of the Ullswater Hotel, looked closely into what was said and made our decision. It sounded really good....and it was. From the smiling faces at reception to the clean and well presented room, it... More

Dear Madam, as Hotelliers we have to take on board guests comments to enable us to provide the best possible service and accomodation. However, having read the absolute garbage that you wrote, i feel compelled to respond accordingly. Firstly, I have been in touch with the coach company that bought you and they have advised that they have received no... More

We booked this hotel for the Christmas, twixmas and New Year break. When we arrived we were not the only guests booking in. In fact there were possibly eight or nine other couples in front of us. We prepared for a lengthy wait. How wrong could we be. The queue cleared in what seemed like seconds. We were greeted by... More

They asked for the best B&B "deal" available and were given keys to a number of rooms which they... More

I am a little surprised at some of the negative reviews of this hotel; it is a 2 star hotel and offers a great service once that has been understood. We found all of the staff very friendly and accomodating both before and during our stay. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable and most importantly, it was clean. The only... More
