Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth

Excellent quality hotel with a lovely well equipped bedroom and nice buffet food

The room was cold but was nicely presented.

Stayed here last week! View is absolutely amazing and the staff where very relaxed and welcoming. Certainly will stay here again

Certainly! Here’s a sample review for a five-star hotel: A Luxurious Escape – Truly Five-Star Experience From the moment I arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The warm welcome from the staff, complete with a refreshing welcome drink, set the tone for my stay. The lobby’s stunning design exudes elegance and sophistication, creating an immediate sense of luxury. Room: My suite was impeccably designed, blending modern amenities with timeless style. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room featured high-end touches like plush robes, a pillow menu, and a breathtaking view from the balcony. The attention to detail was evident everywhere, from the spotless cleanliness to the ambient lighting. Service: The staff went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, often anticipating what I needed before I even asked. Whether it was the concierge arranging last-minute reservations or housekeeping leaving personalized notes, the service was truly five-star. Dining: The hotel’s restaurants were culinary masterpieces. Breakfast featured a lavish spread with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Dinner at their fine dining restaurant was an unforgettable experience—each dish was a work of art, and the sommelier’s wine pairings were impeccable. Facilities: The spa was a sanctuary of tranquility, offering world-class treatments. The infinity pool overlooked a breathtaking landscape, making it the perfect spot to relax. The gym was equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and the hotel’s private beach was pristine and serene. Overall: Every aspect of this hotel exceeded my expectations. It’s the perfect destination for anyone looking to be pampered in an atmosphere of pure luxury. I can’t wait to return and would recommend it without hesitation. 5/5 Stars 🌟

I had an incredible experience at this hotel and will definitely return.

We spent new year here and we was blown away by the beauty in this hotel, so much detail inside, it is right by the sea and town, lovely and clean, towels and all shower gel and shampoo provided, iron fan and ironing board in the room. Lovely new year eve party inside the hotel if you did not want to go out into the town. New years day we sat in the lounge area and had a lovely afternoon tea only problem i felt the little cakes was tarnished by something strong in the fridge maybe just store cakes alone in a separate fridge. The scones came warm was delicious. Staff very friendly. Most definitely will be back in the warmer months. Keep up the good work everyone . We loved the little welcome gift of fudge and shortbread

Certainly the worst place I've ever been to a wedding. Service was reminiscent of Fawlty Towers and the maitre d didn't seem to know what a vegetarian was.

It was simply fantastic to be able to stay at this hotel - staff were excellent and rooms were superb.

My stay at this extraordinary hotel was absolutely amazing!”

Great location and a wonderfully styled interior. Service was great as was the breakfast! Highly recommended! Sorry no photos of room!

We had a spontaneous trip & had a great time. The reception staff were lovely & we were upgraded to a sea view room having booked a special deal. The room was spacious, clean & with the amenities we'd expect. The bar & bar food were good and fairly priced. We loved the old world charm & history of the hotel & spent hours in the welcoming pool & spa rotunda. We rounded off our trip with a pop next door to the fascinating Russell- Coates museum. Thanks to all the staff who made this a short but memorable stay.

Enjoyed stay ,but very disappointed that the spa area was closed ,that was the main reason we chose the hotel.

Has a lovely 4 days in this hotel, Third time this year and would honestly be back in the New Year. Great Rooms Great Food & Great staff And also Great facilities I.e swimming pool ,Gym Could not fault this in anyway And would also like to put a Great review in to 1 of the Duty Managers for all he did Daniel Driscoll & Donna Joseph

Being approached on telegram by random accounts saying they will pay u to post fake reviews. Good marketing techniques trying to hide the fact your hotel has a 3 star . Shameful

Amazing place with wonderful people. We had a setback and it was quickly resolved. I certainly recommend it and will be back. I don't remember the name of the man who works at the bar, incredible service.

Dont fool for any of these fake reviews they say they pay you but they just delete the chat DO NOT STAY HERE

I highly recommend it, very happy to stay at this hotel

Went as part of a coach holiday 5 day hol over Xmas. Brilliant staff, lovely room - toasty warm with a balcony, food plentiful and all really nice. Central position, all in all a great holiday. Not so great for folk with mobility problems as lots of stairs even in the ground floor - a beautiful historic building so can’t be helped but does need to be highlighted. Would definitely return.

Clean lovely food nice warm welcoming

Superb hotel very nice and great area

Great location to get to the beach

Great stay and surprise booked by family great hotel would stay and book myself in future

Excellent services and the best in the region, absolutely love it.

Good atmosphere reminds you of old fashioned hotels and great food would definitely recommend

Just popped in to get out of the rain very friendly fantastic coffee and hot chocolate lovely seats the staff went out of there way to make you feel welcome Just for a coffee

Worst hotel we have ever stayed at. Bearing in mind the outside temperature was 1 degree. The heating was not on. No way to turn it on either. You can’t call reception because there’s no phone in the room. So go to reception but there’s no one there either. We could feel the cold wind through the shut windows. No noise insulation either. Our suite was just over the roundabout. We heard every single vehicle all through the night. The room was clean but the carpet is stained. A very cold and unpleasant night. Never again!

The room is clean. The bed linen is fresh and white. The room is warm. The water is sooooo hot. There is an iron, a board for ironing and a heater (but the room is quite warm). There are paid parking lots nearby.

I just stayed here for my daughters graduation. The customer service was excellent. I could not fault that. The building beautiful and spa amazing so for the value on money I give it five stars. Shame about the expensive parking so get a train if your are able but other wise best hotel I have stayed in in Bournemouth

We had our wedding reception here and to be frank, they couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery The planning was so bad, it felt like they picked everything out of a hat five minutes before we showed up. The rooms are drab and dirty They couldn’t even spell our names correctly Avoid at all costs

Hotel in a perfect location with easy access to the pier and beach. The room was spacious, clean and had everything for a comfortable stay. Meals were hot and freshly made, however vegetables were limited for choice

Upon first arrival seems pleasant , reception barely polite , towels in room not clean , dirty / murky water from bath tap . We also heard constant arguments and shouting throughout the night which caused a restless night . Wouldnt return to this particular hotel again .

Our stay at Royal Bath Hotel was absolutely delightful! the historical charm combined with modern amenities makes it unique. The room was very welcoming and clean, and a good opportunity to detox from Wifi and internet. The staff are attentive and the restaurant buffet delicious. The stunning sea is very close by - We enjoy our the stay

I recommend it, clean and beautiful

Definitely put in the stag quarters. We were on a stag mind! Recommend the spa 100%. The hotel served it's purpose for the weekend.

An ageing classic seafront hotel. Loved it!! Good luck with the refurbishment!

Last minute booking and so glad I choose this hotel after being a bit wary about some of the reviews. The lady on reception was friendly and helpful. Room given was lovely, clean and spacious. Pool and leisure centre clean and staff friendly. Will definitely use this hotel again

The only thing “Royal” in this hotel is the Kings face upon the bank note I will be spending on the non-complimentary parking. I could absolutely forgive a hotel of such status to be a little old-fashioned, if it retained any ounce of character and integrity it may have had in its hay day. The rooms are a mish-mash of tacky cheap renovated and down right outdated furniture, there is no theme or consistency throughout. On arrival to the hotel, we were instructed our room would be “just down the hall on the left”, what a hilarious, cruel joke that is. Whoever has designed the room number layout in this old Victorian labyrinth must have been blind drunk on old Scotch, I would bet his skeleton still lies down a hallway after he tried to find the exit. We passed multiple guests also in confusion as we ascended and descended stairways, wings, and broken elevators, the direction signs giving us completely nonsensical directions. Finally, we find our room, a tired space filled with outdated furniture, the smell of bleach in the bathroom is so strong you feel your nose hairs withering. I write this review from my room afraid to renter the labyrinth, for I may not reappear. Hopefully brekkie will be good though eh?

When I came from London, I booked this hotel. It was my worst experience. In the United Kingdom, there are insects and the smell of vomit, evidence of uncleanliness. When I informed the manager about this, he transferred me to a dilapidated room with no electricity. He also accused me of breaking a curtain and refusing to give me my bags. When the police arrived, they knew that he was lying, and for safety, they took me out. I am staying in hotels. Around the world, this was the worst experience of my life, and I will not visit them again in the future

We been to the spa area .. looking decent . To many rules in here .. but overall good

I stayed here just 1 night then left as the staff were very rude! Disgusting service! The rooms were really moldy and dusty which I struggled to sleep because I'm asthmatic. Sweet wrappers under/behind furniture. I complained about this to staff which didn't have a care in the world. One staff lady with dark hair told me if I couldn't deal with the mess then to F off! Nice building so it's a shame it isn't kept to health & safety standards! It will be reported to the Occupational H&S Agency.

Location is the only decent thing about this hotel. The buffet food smells like cheap microwaved food. (force dried potatoe smell) room was mouldy, damp and dirty. Bathroom hadn't been cleaned in weeks (cobwebs and hairs and dirt to prove it) woodwork and walls were water damaged to high hell. And the only window in the room was broken. Couldn't shut or cancel out any road noise and the surrounding purple lights they have at night shine directly into the room even with curtains closed, (they too including the net curtains were not fully attacked to the windows either) None of the staff knew where to room was or even knew directions, including the cleaning manager. This place really is a brittania hotel (of which we didn't know becuase we thought it was an elite hotel! But shocked to find out that it is just a cover!) highly disgusted

I went there with my sister and niece and I loved it it's like an old fashioned feel it's spacious I love the Old White tablecloths and that old style bedrooms. I will be back. I loved the breakfast buffet in the morning. We opted for the dinner also which was good . The grounds are great with lots of grass and the sea view and close to the sea

We were really skeptical because of the many negative reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. Sure, a lot of things cost extra (pool/spa, parking, WiFi in the room, breakfast - see photo for details), but the room itself isn't that expensive if you don't need all that. Hotel only has two floors, so the sea view is always a bit limited (and there is a parking lot between the pier and the hotel), but we saw the sea and part of the pier well from our sea view room on the 1st floor. Instead of the hotel car park (£25), we parked in the Central Car Park for around £6 a day (8min walk, a bit uphill). The hotel is currently being renovated, we had scaffolding in front of the window and there was a strong smell of fresh paint in the hallways. We had a newly renovated bathroom with good water pressure. The staff was super friendly and there was live music in the hotel bar in the evenings. We didn't try breakfast, there are plenty of other options in the city. 4 stars because of paid WiFi and short pool opening times (last entry 1 hour before closing). We would come back!

The only reasonable price car park is half a mile away up hill.

Just up from the beach, service great including a loan of a charger plug. No charger sockets

Staff were too rude mainly the receptionist. She doesn’t know how to talk with guest.I went in this hotel for like more then 3 time cause the hotel and environment was nice but this time because of receptionist she ruin my mood for entire stay and she was the rudest receptionist that I ever met in my entire life.

When I was reading the reviews before choosing to visit, I was abit hesitant. However, people forget that the hotel is very old, so the floors will creek and the furniture is alittle old. Our room was small (what we paid for), but well kept. We had a little bath and lots of soap and shampoos to keep us for the one night stay. The receptionists were lovely and greeting- we felt bad for them as they were dealing with an angry customer when we came in who didn’t have ID. (Make sure to have your ID when checking in, as that’s there policy). The young gentleman behind the reception stood out to us for both days. He recognised us on the second day, let us keep our bags behind the desk as he didn’t have the key to storage, and then booked us a taxi once we were done with the day. The taxi came within 2 minutes. The whole hotel is beautiful, even the outside and the mini chess set is entertaining. The pool facilities were out of order when we booked, wish we had been notified as we both love a dip in the pool, but that didn’t take away the experience as it was lovely. The hotel location is very convenient as it’s right next to the beach!!

Practically on the beach, lovely musical performances, beautiful, cheap and tasty dinner buffet. Spacious

afternoon tea ,super bar area lovely staff

Run down, fire alarms kept going off, staff only helped after asking multiple times, difficult to navigate and unclean! No help getting a refund only good part was how local it was to the seaside

Stayed through work . Rooms are big but also very cold as was the bathroom . But nice and affordable

Booked this for Christmas package with 83 year old mother in law and my wife After being assured we would have a disabled access room for mother in law! Hotel was a disaster from start to finish we were put on top floor only way to get via flight of stairs as shown in pics she was moved to suite on first floor not a disabled friendly room no walk-in shower only way to access room via lift not advised by staff how mum would get out in an emergency. Rooms were not serviced IE clean towels/ sheets beds made ect in all the time we were there Pool and spa closed . Staff very short on the ground and those that were there very stressed and unhelpful due to workload we paid close to £2000 for this package were made to feel most unwelcome and have complained to hotel customer service with none of the points I raised addressed only offer of discounted weekend stay as we live in Spain can't see that happening. SO IN BRIEF IF YOUR THINKING OF GOING TO THE ROYAL BATH SPA HOTEL BOURNEMOUTH DON'T BOTHER ITS RUBBISH

Great clean place. Don't know why anyone would say the rooms are small. Great winter price.
