Overall a great one night stay, very nice breakfast.
Hotel was very clean. Only slight downside was our shower was great.
Staff were very polite and helpful
Will definitely be staying again.
We stayed here last year and had a very pleasant stay , so booked again. The staff were very nice and the room , although a little basic was comfortable , even though the Tv would'nt work properly. We had a meal there again as last time it was very good , with a full menu , good service and reasonable prices. However this time we were dissappointed as we booked an early table at 6.15 and were then told they had run out of Steak already . My husband ordered the burger but the chips weren't good and not very hot and the burger & bun very dry . The couple next to us had the same complaint. Over all the stay was value for money but the food not as good as last year unfortunatley.
Very welcoming and hospitality was on point. Every staff are very pleasant and ensure you have a good and comfortable stay.
Any issues and they are quick to resolve.
Very clean and spacious room. Nice , cosy and relaxing food area.
Thanks for having you.

Staff were really welcoming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant, and although there was no children's menu, they were very accommodating with my daughter to make her a half portion of a main.
The room was lovely and spacious, with a very comfortable bed.
We loved our stay here the staff were amazing especially David ! Thank you for a wonderful few days

Great hotel
Lovely location and hotel! Clean throughout and friendly and helpful staff.
The only down side I would say is the mattress was a bit on the solid side for my partner and I. Apart from that, it was a perfect place to stay!
Great location close to the beach. Lovely friendly staff. Restaurant was excellent

Staff were really friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a comfortable stay. It’s a nice hotel, and while hotels in Bournemouth do struggle with upkeep, it’s clear the Orchid really try. It was a little chilly, but they did provide a heater and the important parts such as the clean sheets, big fresh towels and a clean modern bathroom were all immaculate.
Breakfast was good and having a nice bar on site to relax was a great addition!
Lovely stay at the Orchid on my first visit to Bournemouth; friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and great breakfast - wish I had booked more than one night.
Will definitely be back, and for a longer stay :)

Great reception, staff very friendly. Room well appointed and clean. Great value.. Restaurant was a bit strange in the evening. No Starters available, and had to send the main back as cold, but the waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was great through.
Ideally situated, great staff and all you will need for an enjoyable stay.

Cute little boutique hotel
Nice place, great location for central Bournemouth. Everything walkable. Place is clean enough, friendly staff, it’s needs a little love in places but nice overall for a short weekend stay
The breakfast and the AC make a difference in comparison to other hotels in the city. The room has space and is well distributed for comfort. There are spaces to chill out too, and it is very close to the beach. I recommend this hotel.
