The spa was a nice treat and not too crowded. It was also very clean, the chilled water was a welcome touch. The location is... More

Overall i found the hotel okay. No towels in the spa area so had to use the one's in our room, however housekeeping did provide fresh towels by the time we returned from the pool. The room was very warm, but the celing fan did help. One major problem i had was the baby changing facilities. After checking out and... More

Stayed for the weekend in an executive room,worth the upgrade. Looks a very tired place from the road but nice inside. Great staff and solid breakfast .would stay again with our three kids who no doubt love the pool and gardens. A nice little stroll gets you to the town and beach.when in Bournmouty do go to Roxys restaurant!!

The reception area and bar is very welcoming. The room is of an average size and was clean, however I found that it wasn't kept clean during my stay as the complimentary toiletries weren't replaced after use. This is also the first hotel that I have visited where the morning paper wasn't delivered to outside my door. When I asked... More

Just spent 4 nights in The Hallmark, Bournemouth.

Initially given a room on the 4th floor which is up a narrow staircase off the 3rd floor. From the outside this cluster of rooms perched on the roof look like a WW2 bunker.

Arrived Sunday evening now on my 3rd night. Dinner menu is pretentious and expensive. Certainly nothing is substantial for a northern type like me. The pea & ham broth was thin with little sign of ham. It was so watery the bread had difficulty floating. Vegetables are charged extra an mussels had been allowed to dry out before being served....
