Laguna Hotel
"The Laguna hotel is a very unique setup, and it does feel like going back in time when you are there. But it's very honest, clean and friendly. It is also very well located for accessing shops and restaurants and is great value."

Royal Bath Hotel
"For the price paid, there are no complaints. But my goodness, this is now a 2-star hotel in a very old 5-star building. But great location, lots of character. The buffet food was basic."

The room, although a little dated, was very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was excellent. For a change, the cooked buffet food was served hot ..."

Sandbanks Hotel
"The location & view from the balcony with a sea view is great but the room & hotel generally is very dated. Bearing in mind the cost we paid for 1 night, not good value. We were very underwhelmed. Staff were friendly enough though."

Village Hotel Bournemouth
"Unfortunately the fuse tripped and I was on a work trip which was quite inconvenient to work / charge my appliances. I have stayed at the property previously and hope to stay again so any compensation provided would be appreciated"
