Hôtels 3 étoiles à Dorset, Royaume-Uni

The location is great, just a ten min walk from the beach, or a five min walk to get a ten min bus to Boscombe or Bournemouth (although these only go every half hour, seem to always be late and stop running by 6.30pm so plan carefully, or take a stress free taxi ride instead - just £6 to Boscombe).  The hotel is clean and tidy, but the reception staff I met were sullen and unhappy to help, the beds we had were awful (feel every spring, I padded it with two quilts to be able to sleep, luckily it was very hot so we didn’t need them) and unfortunately our window was broken so I couldn’t shut the noise of people entering/leaving the hotel directly below the window out. However, the man sent to try to fix the window was extremely polite and helpful, and respectful of my request to be really quiet and softly spoken around my autistic son who was trying to get to sleep. And he fixed the window.  Luckily we were only staying for one night, so despite the painful bed, I would come back for another cheap, brief stay.

Entry from the car park to level -2 with stairs or lift access to Reception at level 0; (Additional access direct to street via a few steps at level 0 too); Check in was very quick with a short form to sign / append car registration if using the hotel's car park; Unfortunately 1 lift was out of order for the duration of our stay but there were very few times we noted the other lift was already in use; From here we had to traverse the complete length of the hotel to our room at the other end with stairs up and down, to find our room with window looking out over the laundry delivery area but some views of the sky still possible; By the admission of the staff, the hotel is (over)due a refurbishment and the whole place looks tired and worn, although noted to be clean; However shower cubicle in the room was plenty big enough, and the light-up mirror over the sink was good. The mixer tap on the hand basin appears to be plumbed L/R opposite to the markings on the tap; Plenty of plug sockets in the room, some with USB sockets. A big plus was the breakfast which was plentiful and efficiently overseen and served; Choices included standard cooked, cereals, fruit, etc with juices and hot beverages; No dinner was served but the hotel is is close proximity to several other venues within a 10-15min walk into the town centre; Also very close by is the BIC and the Pier / Seafront is less than 10 min walk; The Pool / Gym / Sauna is not very large but adequate and while the Hot Tub was warm with very vigorous jets, the Sauna was quite cool at the time of visiting. All in all, a nice enough place for a couple of nights, quiet and relaxing, with attentive staff.

Hôtel charmant avec d'excellentes prestations. Personnel très aimable et poli. Chambre propre et lits confortables. Thé et café en chambre. Petit-déjeuner copieux et varié. Spa agréable avec une belle piscine.

Double sea view room with balcony. Spacious bedroom with nice seating area. Clean and in good decorative order. Comfy bed, quality linen. Wonderful, original metal-framed window and French door opening out onto huge balcony. Unfortunately, the sea view tuned out to be when looking left from the end of the balcony and not from the actual bedroom. Kettle needed descaling. Bathroom well appointed, nice towels and quality Elemis toiletries, but would benefit from a really thorough deep clean and a lick of paint. Absolutely fabulous public rooms, not ‘dated’, as some reviews suggest, but furniture and fixtures appropriately in keeping with the style and period of the building. Wonderful! Beautiful outdoor pool area and indoor spa. Lots of outdoor seating areas. Extensive woodland to the rear of the hotel. Just a few minutes walk to Knoll Beach, through the hotel’s extensive grounds (which includes tennis courts and a golf course) just over the road. Absolutely no information provided about any of these brilliant amenities, or indeed anything at all, in our bedroom. Also, no information about Wi-Fi, no information about breakfast times, no information about how to even contact Reception on the telephone provided in the room … The food at the evening meal was exceptional but was let down by the very slow service as staff focused on setting tables for the following day’s breakfast - which turned out to be so disappointing that it was hard to believe that both meals had originated from the same kitchen.

The location of the hotel is excellent.A short walk away from both Bournemouth beach and Boscombe beach. The staff were also very helpful. However the hotel definitely needs an upgrade. Chipped cupboards, creaky bathroom shower doors. Also the towels provided weren't clean. In the heatwave they gave us fans, which hardly gave any cooling, unless you are seated 20cm from the fan. When we asked for another fan, they asked us to pick it up ourselves from the reception. Food order was only till 8pm, that to none on bank holiday Monday and information wasn't really provided beforehand. Breakfast was ok. The view from our rooms was excellent but that's about it.

Amazing stay at Hotel Celebrity. Located very near to the scenic view, it offers great and spacious rooms. I stayed at room number 246 and the room was quite spacious clean tidy along with a private bathroom that had a bath tub. The stay was very comfortable and the hotel staff were very friendly and attentive to any query a customer might have. Breakfast includes bacon and other vegetarian options but there was just one spoon to use for bacon as well as the vegetarian options which can lead to cross contamination and for someone like me who does not eat bacon it was a deal breaker. However if a separate spoon would be kept to avoid cross contamination then it would have been even more amazing. Overall the stay and the locality is nice and the staff is quite friendly too. Would highly recommend Hotel Celebrity to everyone willing to travel to Bournemouth for a vacation or leisure time.

Excellent emplacement…près de la plage, à 10-15 minutes à pied de la gare et à 5-10 minutes à pied des magasins d'alimentation. La chambre que nous avions était d'un excellent rapport qualité/prix, j'ai payé pour une chambre double standard et j'ai eu une chambre familiale ! Le personnel est sympathique et raisonnablement serviable, nous avons demandé quelques bols de céréales et cuillères à emporter avec nous un soir, mais nous ne sommes repartis qu'avec un bol et pas de cuillères mdr… aucune explication pourquoi !! Dans l’ensemble, c’est le meilleur hôtel bon marché dans lequel nous avons séjourné à Bournemouth.

Wonderful hotel and excellent location just 15 minutes walk through a beautiful park to Bournemouth beach, our room was in a very quiet environment, It has a swimming pool and games room, super quiet and cozy. I highly recommend it to everyone who visits bornemouth affordable price.

Great location , rooms are nice, clean and modern. Good value included breakfast which was good , except only scrambled eggs ,no fried eggs. Parking was expensive at £15:50 and a long walk in the rain. Staff were personable and efficient . I stay in Bournemouth often ,so would stay here again
