Second visit to the art deco style hotel - such friendly people - booked on a special dinner b & b deal with ocean view room..... we were delighted to find on arrival we had been appointed a suite - WOW! Massive bed, so comfortable and separate seating area, two t.vs. The dated en-suite didnt detract from our wonderful stay... More

Stayed for 4 nights in May, its a nice Art Deco hotel & has a great feel. My room was small, but perfect! Well decorated and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. This is a great 3 star hotel! Good location & the staff are very efficient & helpful. I would definately stay here again.

It was certainly not one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The downstairs area has been thoughtfully done in an Art Decco style. We had one of the smaller rooms without a view it was ok, very clean, but a bit over priced for what it was. If you want a quiet weekend away forget it; this hotel... More

Stayed at the Cumberland twice this year so far and would definitely recommend it as a base for visiting bournemouth. The rooms are a little dated and could do with some updating but the bar/restaurant areas more than make up for this. The decor in the bar is so inviting you never want to leave, their cocktail menu is varied... More

They state that they have spent an enormous amount of money on refurbishment. Certainly not the bathrooms and bedrooms. Decided not to dine as the service and quality might have been to the standard og the main hotel. Used for... More

My wife and I needed a decent break so after looking at the reviews on TA we opted for this hotel, it was a little bit over our budget but we thought we'd treat ourselves. First impressions we're that it was in a good location and was certainly clean. The check in was efficient but not friendly still no matter... More

We stayed with friends for three nights from 9th to12th May. Booked seafront rooms and were upgraded on arrival to 4th floor. What was particularly impressive was the staff team, all very friendly and dealt with any requests immediately. Rooms were fine although the showers were a bit antiquated. Food on set menu was very good and generous portions. All... More
