This was our second stay. Unfortunately I broke my ankle between booking and the stay. The hotel couldn't have been more helpful. The rooms are spotlessly clean with good tea and coffee making facilities and up to date TVs. Plus marvellous views over the gardens and the Bournemouth balloon. My only problem with the hotel is the lift. I know... More

Just returned from a week staying at The Whitehall with my son and small dog. The hotel is very clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel as I am Coeliac and my diet being Gluten Wheat Free was well catered for, the food was excellent. Also, this hotel is in a very good position... More

Our four-generation family gathering of 17 people stayed at The Whitehall Hotel for a weekend in May and enjoyed every minute of our holiday. The location is so central; overlooking the Lower Park and the amazing captive balloon and it is so easy to walk to the shops and to the beach, yet the hotel is peaceful and we all... More

The hotel overlooks the gardens in central Bournmouth. As locations go it is brilliant. The hotel is a bit dated and in places it needs a bit of updating. Faded elegance is probably the right term to use. However the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Everything worked well . The hotel is... More

We stayed as part of a group attending a conference at the BIC. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They adjusted the breakfast hours to take account of the conference timings. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The decor is 'faded grandeur' but everything was clean and worked. It is very close to the BIC and easy to... More

Myself and my colleagues have just returned from a short stay at the Whitehall. We have stayed here and at the sister hotel The Arlington for a number of years, the reason why we always come back is the excellent service and good value for money. The reservation process is swift and efficient and the location for our needs is... More

The Whitehall was recommended to us by discerning friends as being in a prime position with good home-cooked food and high standards of cleanliness, care and customer service. It is all of these. I am in the hotel trade myself and in my opinion the owners have pitched their hotel just right. OK so the decor is a little dated... More

It is sited on the cliff overlooking the chine approaching the pier, but, additionally, it it worthy of the description because the owners and staff are consistently friendly, efficient, and prepared to go the extra mile. My family and I have been using the Whitehall every Christmas and Easter for many years and the standards have not fallen. The housekeeping... More
