Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"A character hotel in a great location. Room very comfortable and the staff were excellent. Would definately stay again if i was in Christchurch and would certainly recommend to anyone."

Harbour Hotel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"We found all staff so friendly and helpful. Entering the hotel gave a feeling of relaxation comfort and homely. Variety of food choices giving tasty evening meals and breakfast although I thought it too much to charge an extra £10 each for a fried breakfast whereas other hotels it’s included in the room cost. Our room was very comfortable with a superb shower"

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff excellent and helpful we only ate breakfast which was very good and self serving. The rooms clean and comfortable as was the lounge/bar live music most of the time. Third visit and will return in the future."

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."

Grosvenor Lodge Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"very good stay good staff very helpfull good breakfast feel wellcome here"

The Spyglass and Kettle By Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the atmosphere of the Spyglass and Kettle. However, there were a few issues with our room (No.2, on the 2nd floor) Ceilings in the bedroom and shower room we're into the eaves and somewhat restrictive to stand up straight. The sink in the shower room"

Amazing Sea View near the Beach with Free Parking

8/10 Good

"Not mentioned that the property was on the first floor with no lift.Had to report a faulty outside light justBelow the bedroom window at the side of the house. Light on all the time but when dark took on a rapid strobe effect which still lit up the room and bathroom even though curtains were closed. Had to use an eye mask to block the light out.Difficult to navigate the TV when just wanting to watch terrestrial channels .The carpet needs replacing and the bathroom needs refurbishing but noticed that the site is up for development so could explain why it hasn’t been done.Even though there is plenty of parking on the road outside the flat, space in the car park at the back could be restricted due to contractor vehicles taking up the spaces with their large vans."

Stunning Panoramic Sea View Beach Location 2 bed

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great spot with wonderful water views, close walk to restaurants, had all as advertised, plan on coming back someday."
