FAQs about hotels in Bournemouth








Sea Air and Savoir-Faire

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.

The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.

Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.

At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.

On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

    We only stayed one full day, and I will say there is a lot to see and do so a couple days is reccomended. The beach was nice, with some great restaurants and options for bars in town. It is an old town, and there are some areas that could use restoration, but it has a certain charm. Everywhere we went the people were freindly.

    I stay at the Lynden Court Hotel every year, this being my sixth time. The location is great, only a short walk from both the town and the beaches, there's plenty of places to go and explore, in and around Bournemouth with Poole, Dorchester, Weymouth and Christchurch on the door step. There's lovley walks along the prom from Sandbanks right along to Hengistbury. The rooms are of a good size plenty big enough for two. Tea and coffee is provided. There's a continental breakfast, which is help yourself.

    The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The location was perfect. It was a small walk to the pier and the beautiful beach. Restaurants were also a walk, but we used taxis. The pool was AMAZING! It was heated and clean. It was open until 8pm. We had lunch on the pool veranda and it was a bit pricey but very nice. The Bournemouth air show was on so we watched that from our sunbeds! The hotel had a nice warm friendly feeling. We really enjoyed our stay!

    Friendly and professional Staff greeted us at Reception, was very happy and surprised to learn that we were given a room with a four poster bed which was very comfortable. The rest of the room had all we needed with a jacquzzi bath much to my Husband's delight and he went for a 'bubble'. The Hotel had 3 Bars, one had a very late licence (4am) i think that one was. Very central to the Beach and shopping, also opposite to The BIC and close to Bournemouth Pavillion.

    We had a one night stay (should have been 2 but our ferry was cancelled) . Staff were very friendly,,bed was comfy & the breakfast was lovely. Beach was very close & the hotel even kept our cases safe as we weren't flying out until late in the evening. I've seen some reviews about the decor being dated but I felt that it was a real authentic English seaside experience. Will most definitely return & for longer next time.

    Decor lovely and the beds very good quality. Our room was small but perfectly formed. The complementary Prosecco, ale and chocolates were a really nice touch. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the beach which was fine. Standard of the accommodation is far superior to that on offer in most of the hotels in Bournemouth and value for money was excellent.
