Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

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."

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Buffet breakfast was good, but the evening buffet was only average."

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"."

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."
