Top Bournemouth Pier Hotel Reviews

Hilton Bournemouth

Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good
"Our stay was very good and comfortable overall. However, I believe the SPA area needs more attention, particularly in terms of safety and cleanliness. Pool Area: The floor around the pool was wet almost all the time and was dangerously slippery. A yellow warning sign had been placed in the area, but there was only one and it was not clearly visible from the entrance. More importantly, warning signs alone are not sufficient. The floor should be mopped and excess/splashed water removed frequently throughout the day to minimize the risk of someone slipping and getting injured. Sauna & Steam Room: The floors in both the sauna and steam room were not sufficiently clean. In particular, the area underneath the benches in the sauna was visibly dirty and gave the impression that it had not been thoroughly cleaned for quite some time. Considering the hygiene standards expected in a SPA facility, I believe more frequent and thorough cleaning is required. Apart from these points, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. I am sharing these comments constructively, as some additional attention to the SPA area would significantly improve the overall guest experience."

"Pretty impressed with this hotel and we would use it again. Staff were absolutely lovely and gave us a great welcome. Even offered us fresh milk on arrival for a tea or coffee. We were also informed about a wedding that was happening but this wasn’t an inconvenience. The room was lovely and had everything we needed for one night; although the room was very warm. The only real issue was paying to park and my car was completely covered in bird poo, and I mean covered when we checked out this morning. Not really the fault of the hotel but Parking was limited upon our arrival due to the wedding which was fair enough, however had to squeeze into a space under a tree will avoid next time when we stay. Our daughter is in uni so we will be looking for a regular place. Love the whole eco ethos of the hotel as well."

"Staff are 10/10 at this establishment. Very friendly, courteous and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of different options. The communal balcony overlooking the pool was kept clean and tidy and had great views of the sea. I also had a spa treatment which was so calming and allowed me to unwind even more. The indoor pool had warm water and it’s not too deep. My only feedback is please can there be a mini fridge in the rooms. Aside from this, our stay was very pleasant and relaxing. Thanks."
