Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"We booked 3 rooms. All were beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Every member of staff was extremely polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was outstanding with so much choice and all our evening meals in the restaurant, extremely well prepared and tasted delicious. The Kings Arms is well positioned in the centre of Christchurch but with the added bonus of a bus stop directly outside and another a short walk away. On arrival we didn’t have any problem parking in the hotel’s designated bays. Lovely walk across from the hotel to castle ruins, church and harbour. Looking forward to a return visit."

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is located near to the town centre. The main thing is that the parking is free, unlike so many Bournemouth hotels. The rooms are not fancy, but they are clean, functional and have all the facilities you need."

Captains Club Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic, within walking distance of the town centre where there was plenty to see and eating places for a reasonable price. The marina was also within walking distance and very beautiful. The hotel is very good but the rooms could do with a spruce up. Excellent wheelchair access and the staff are very well trained in all aspects of service. The food in the restaurant is also superb. The full english breakfast appeared to be cooked to order and was beautifully fresh when served. For a relaxing break with nice walks and easy to other restaurants you couldn’t go wrong. Would definitely consider going back."

Harbour Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent spa, food and room. Great place to walk on the beach."
