Having just returned from a 5 night break at the Balmoral Hotel, Bournemouth, I believe it deserves to be noted that changes are in progress to bring this hotel into the 21st Century. We have stayed at this hotel on 4 previous occasions and have unfortunately seen this hotel gradually losing its appeal. It is now great to see that... More

I have just returned from spending the weekend here and although the decor is dated and in need of attention don't let this put you off. The owner(s) and staff are very friendly and accomodating to any requirement, the rooms are very clean and it is located in a great position for both the beach and the town. The breakfast... More

Spotlessly clean room and... More

Been back here for a second time & the new owners are certainly making a difference, The scaffolding has disappeared & the outside is nicely decorated. There's still a little way to go but this is reflected in the price which is very reasonable for the area. There are slightly cheaper hotels nearby but you get what you pay for,... More

I booked the break (May bank holiday) without reading reviews. When I then looked online and saw some leess than complimentary reviews I was worried. However I read more recent rreviews that stated new owners bought this in feb 2013 and are making huge strides towards improving the property/experience. Couldn't agree more. This property has huge potential, which is slowly... More
