Consumer Reviews and Rating

"Felt more like 2-star: fixtures/fittings poor (plastic bath, no mixing taps, rather smelly dark wardrobe). Room cramped and hot, corridors: creaky, badly decorated; like 1970s bed-sit house. Had to pay for upgrade to fit our five year old in room. There was a balcony, but this just meant cigarette smoke from other balconies drifted into our room when window was open. View: not nice.Buffet breakfast: good selection of hot and cold breakfasts. Distance to beach: 10 min walk to the top of cliff, then down zig zag path. Hotel surrounded by others that specialise in hen nights/stag do's, which gave it a grungy feel, but to it's credit, the Connaught refuses their custom; + the only hotel w/pool I could find in area. Don't go to Italian restaurant nearby (Valentino's) which the hotel receptionist described as "very good": it wasn't. Bournemouth is a dump unless you have good weather and stay on beach. We drove to Swanage, which was well worth the trip, as it's a whole other world." - Bridget Cotter


"This hotel is fine. I would stay there again. " - Anonymous


"Could do with upgrading Televisions and lowering Restaurant and Bar prices,might encourage more people to stay within the Hotel,there is no shortage of Bars and Retaurants nearby.This is a nice Hotel with good facilities.Was a very nice Breakfast too." - Colin Palin


"The hotel room was like going back to the 70's, our room was also hot and stuffy with a view out onto steel steps!! We ask to be moved but they said all rooms were like ours. Wouldn't recommend it." - Daniel Stanbury
