The staff were friendly and efficient . I request a sea view room and they provided a great room. When I needed some more consumables they quickly provided them. Breakfast had a good variety of food on offer plus they cooked eggs to order. Overall a place I would recommend.

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

Bournemouth town centre much like any other town high street with closed, empty shops and no soul.
Some of the area around Boscombe is very rough looking but we didn't feel unsafe
Weekend vibe away helped by actually seeing sunshine rather than the rain and thunderstorms we left at home :)

Most things are within walking distance.
We ate at Harry Ramsdens, fish and chips is a must at the seaside.
Car parking can be a challenge, book a hotel with a carpark.

Me and my fiance went with friends for our sten Do (stag&hen). It was pleasant weather, relatively affordable, good food & entertaining mini golf. We also went to the mini market Sunday morning which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as it was not too busy.

Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches...
Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner.
It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.
This is a very nice boutique hotel with great views, within walking distance to the city center. The staff is wonderful and they resolved our little crisis before departure, and even gave us a ride to the train station to make sure we do not miss our train that was connected to an international flight. Wonderful people in a gorgeous town. Ventana restaurant has great food and a nice atmosphere. Bournemouth is a pleasant, lively English riviera with cafes, parks and live music, and we had a great stay at Cumberland.
The owners are lovely and very helpful. Located one street back from the beach and within walking distance from Bournemouth pier and centre.
The room, whilst very basic, was clean and tidy and had all we needed for our short stay.
Plenty of tea and coffee etc, comfortable double bed, free WiFi and small TV.
Small en suite bathroom with towels provided and a nice hot shower..
This is an 'Old school' hotel with the values and courtesy to match.
Great to see .
Will definitely use again.
Thank you.
Gary.
A great place to stay..a lovely old building, very well decorated and spotlessly clean. We were given a suite which was fabulous and it was great value for money. Plenty of parking spaces and just a short walk to the beachfront. We had breakfast at the sister hotel, the Derby Manor and that too was one of the best we have had. There was plenty of choice and it was all freshly cooked. It far exceeded our expectations. Definitely will stay there again when next in Bournemouth.
I was impressed with everything. Staff were amazing and the breakfast was run very efficiently. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was also perfect. Opposite shopping and cinema and a short walk to the beach and pier. Stayed at few places in Bournemouth as visit my daughter and I would certainly stay here again. Unfortunately all hotels are expensive around the area but this was one of the cheaper options but certainly didn’t feel I was in a cheap hotel.
Really lovely staff and very helpful. I like all the Britannia hotels.
Had not got a room for the next night – so stayed at the Royal Bath hotel -which also is very good and a lovely staff and very helpful too. I asked for a single room and was given a very comfortable double room in both hotels. I have a mobility scooter and it was easy to be able to charge it up each night .I come to Bournemouth quite often and usually stay in a Britannia hotel.
This hotel is perfectly situated for an easy walk to music events at O2 Academy Bournemouth. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, the hotel was quiet even though many guests were staying there. The breakfast buffet manager was friendly and the food offering was very good with everything well laid out and to a very good standard. Good hot shower and beds were average but fine for a night. Free parking was great.
The hotel is located about 5 mins walk from the beach. The room was of a good size. We never added breakfast to our booking because of the £15.95 charge per person. We thought the car park was very expensive regardless of location. We were charged £15 per night and even struggled to find space to park the car properly.
Overall the facility were good and we hope to stay again when we return to Bournemouth.
good distinction from the beach and city centre. breakfast was excellent- full English breakfast buffet, really nice. we would like to say Thank you for the girl on reception. the was so helpful and kind. ( we don’t know her name but we know she is from Brazil). i booked wrong days and notice about it when arrived but she sorted the problem. when I going to Bournemouth I will stay the same hotel again.
Easily the best hotel that I have stayed in when I visit Bournemouth and I've stayed in quite a few different hotels over the last few months. Great value for money, large rooms, really comfortable beds and facilities. A five minute walk from the town centre and the beach. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. I've stayed here twice and will be booking again.
Great location in town centre, you’ll be just steps away from the square, beach, restaurants, cinema. I think the hotel is best suited for guests coming to Bournemouth to party. There is a nice cocktail bar and night club in the premises and it can get pretty loud (of which I was warned about beforehand). Personally I wasn’t too bothered by the noise.
Was my first visit to Bournemouth and absolutely loved it. Will definitely be staying here next time we visit. Beach is only a five minute walk away, spa treatment was lovely, wish there could’ve been a birthday discount or something though. Staff were friendly and bar staff very chatty. Lovely atmosphere to sit and have a drink.
amazing room and cleaning and comfortable room with nice space of the room, the staff friendly and nice the hotel location is close with everything in Bournemouth beach and city center, if i come back again to Bournemouth for sure i will be stay in this hotel really amazin
Good selection of hot and cold food.
Good service - reception, bar, restaurants,rooms.
Location ideal for our needs.
Close to Chines and beach.no
Good walk to Bournemouth and pier.
Not necessarily under the control of hotel but good hotel guests - like minded people
The value for money was fantastic and it was a 5 min walk from the seafront. My main reason was to go to a gig at the Bournemouth international centre. I will definitely use this hotel again as it Ofers excellent value for money.
The hotel is being renovated giving it a fresh look, staff were friendly and the rooms are spacious and had a fresh clean look to them. And the definitely value for money would recommend to anyone visiting Bournemouth
Very good location 5 minutes from the beach at Alum Chine - a lovely quiet area of Bournemouth. Comfortable bar area and spacious restaurant with a view of the sea. We were upgraded to a large apartment.
Balcony rooms on top floor have an amazing view, and we had the best seats in the house for the Friday night fireworks. Stunning! There are a few electric vehicle charging spots in the hotel’s parking.
