The hotel is ideally situated above the Lower Pleasure Gardens and there is a pathway down into the gardens leaving a three minute walk to the beach one way or a three minute walk to the town centre the other way. It is also well situated for events at the Pavilion or the BIC. There is not a great deal... More

Great unpretentious hotel ideally situated in Bournemouth. Room smallish but very clean and good bathroom with hot and good pressure shower. Superb for the convention centre where we were and for the centre of the town, the park, shops and sea front. Bit noisy at night from the revellers down in the park but is was very warm weather and... More

Stayed for two nights over the weekend. Lovely clean hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. The hotel is in a fantastic position for the centre and beach. The food was lovely and reasonably priced as were the drinks. If you are in the bar just a word of warning there is no waiter service if you sit in the leather... More

Sorry you failed to have a good night's sleep. However busy we are there is often the chance of a room change for a genuine difficulty after one night due to arrivals and departures. Mattresses are a very individual thing, but if there is a problem in one of our rooms then we are grateful for a guest identifying it. More

Immediately after Easter we visited the Lampeter Hotel in Bournemouth for a short stay and to visit a show at the Bournemouth International Centre. The hotel is ideally situated in a pleasant location within minutes of the shops, beach, pier and theatres. We had lunch in the 'Beau Monde' on site restaurant. Quality and quantity were good in the pleasant... More

We have just come home after staying Friday and Saturday night at the Lampeter. Chose this hotel as it is close to the BIC/Pavillion and the location was exactly what we hoped for. Our room was 106 which had a great view from the bay window across the gardens towards the shops, which are only 5 minutes away. Rear access... More

Thanks for your kind comments. We must thank the bad weather on this occasion, giving us two chance diners who enjoyed the dining experience in our bistro. The hotel's central location means that we are in competition with many local restaurants but we like to think we offer quality and value for money. More

Just stayed overnight at the Lampeter whilst on business in Bournemouth and have already booked there for my next sortie down to Dorset. The hotel is fairly unpretentious but the rooms are comfortable, well decorated and spotlessly clean, I was on the ground floor.
