THE FOOD. i would not feed it to my dog THE SERVICE. no one knows what they are doing. THE ROOM. black staining behind the toilet. PARKING. £20 PER NIGHT. OVERALL. I am 64 years old and its the worst hotel i have ever been in.

My husband and I went away during the bank holiday weekend and were fortunate to stay at The Royal Bath Hotel which was the first hotel in Bournemouth opened in 1883. Cannot understand the complaints. Our room and bathroom had everything we needed. The cleaning staff do an excellent job. The buffets offered a good variety and the breakfast had... More

I stayed here for business on Tuesday night. The hotel is absolutely enormous! It looks like something out of a film from the outside, with different levels, shapes and designs across numerous floors. It couldn't be better positioned, with great swathes of the hotel with sea views and the rest looking across the seafront and the International Centre (BIC). Next... More

My husband and me stayed at this hotel for a couple of days this May. As soon as we went inside the Hotel, the lady at reception didn't even say hello or tried to acknowledged us. We paid for early check in but the room wasn't ready so she just said "you have to come back later" and it took... More

Room was very dated and drab with 80's early 90's decor. Dirty nets, stained carpets and worn-out bathroom. Breakfast was shocking with undercooked bacon, tough sausages and cold porridge, not what we expected. Would I recommend a stay here - that would be a big fat NO

Having known of the hotel for a number of years, we booked via Groupon for a weekend away. I then read the reviews and realised the hotel had changed ownership and expected the worst. What a pleasant surprise, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, the room spacious and comfortable, well worth upgrading for a sea view. The hotel is... More

A favourite haunt of Oscar Wilde, we found ourselves in good company at this lovely rambling old white fairy tale hotel just across the road from the sea front and pier. The room was large,light, well furnished, calming - a sea-view double and the beds were very comfortable. There were two small lounge chairs,looking out at the sea view, and... More

Nice hotel but needs updating. Rooms comfortable and clean. Main guest rooms-dining, lounge, bar very pleasant, lovely outlook. Dinner and breakfast were buffet and just average. Long walk to some rooms, smallest lift I've every seen, could not fit more than 2people with luggage.

Booked before seeing reviews, and wouldn't have done if had seen and believed all comments. Any old hotel with creaky floors is A Good Thing and this one is spacious and comfortable. Staff are helpful and courteous, and we had a good large room with a soft bed and a sea view. The buffet is awkward and lacked lots of... More
