My partner and I had a fantastic stay at the Cumberland. We were in Bournemouth for a concert and this hotel was ideal as it was close to the venue and had a good location overlooking the bay. Our room was comfortable and good value but what really stood out was how good the staff were. Lisa made us feel welcome and gave us some great advice on the facilities and the waiters and managers were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was very nice and we enjoyed the outside and inside pools, as well as the sauna during our short stay.

I booked the hotel for the indoor pool. Sadly the pool is in the hotel next door there were no signs to find it so I had to ask another guest who was also going to use it. It was raining and extremely windy so I wasn’t impressed at having to go outside to get to it. The pool is in a basement & There was a children swimming class being given the instructor was extremely LOUD & it eco to the extent it was uncomfortable The water was COLD and pool roped off so swimming wasn’t pleasant I only stayed in 10 minutes. The changing room didn’t have any bags for my wet swim suit so once the hotel took the towel off me what was I supposed to do my swim suit. My room has the metal extraction running up outside and it was noisy & the smells of food was too much as I couldn’t shut the window as the handle had been locked & no key in the room. The mattress sloped to one side from use of the one side so you find yourself rolling to that side, All 4 pillows were different on the bed. The stair carpet is stuck with tape trying to cover up holes from wear n tear on most floors and some holes not covered at all anyone in heels would need tobe carful. I was on the 3rd floor so saw quite a lot of this.

4.0 / 10.0

My windows were so old they wouldn’t shut and they had paint splashes on the outside. Couldn’t get the shower to work and it was impossible to sit on the toilet and close the door. Food at breakfast was adequate but Luke warm and the dinner menu was uninspiring. The steak night was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful

6.0 / 10.0

Expect menus to change even a la carte in a 4 star hotel. Car park charge. Do you want guests to stay or not? Bar staff unattentive. Reception good. Bath trim coming away in room.

1.0 / 10.0

We really wanted to like this hotel but it is extremely tired and overpriced. A dried out chicken burger by the pool is almost £20, they even charge you £1 extra to put a slice of cheese in it. Hotel is advertised with an indoor pool, this is in the even more tired property next door and seems like it hasn’t been cleaned since the hotel opened. There is literally a black rim of dirt round the entire edge of the pool. It is just such a depressing place to stay and the prices of the rooms are actually laughable per night. The water pressure in the shower is not strong enough to wash your hair, the room also has no amenities whatsoever, At a push this is a 2 star lodge, certainly not a 4 star hotel. If you really must stay in Bournemouth which itself is equally as depressing, we highly recommend you stay somewhere else. We wouldn’t stay here again if you paid us to stay.

We arrived around 5.30PM with a private wedding in full swing at the property - weddings are fine but this one erupted into a full scale fist fight in reception just as I arrived - my girlfriend was terrified and didn’t want to get out of the car. We pulled past reception and waited for the fight to end and when I went in to check in I asked what had happened and the staff just played dumb as if nothing had happened. It was loud in reception and some boisterous men were still there making loads of noise and all the staff were concerned about was taking more money from me. Very unimpressed and if I could have found a room elsewhere I would have - I even left early and only actually stayed one night despite having booked the room for 3 nights - not impressed at all - the reception staff did not care one bit

Food excelllent All staff friendly and helpful The hotel has let itself down by having very old beds that should be pensioned off our bed had springs making the bed lumpy and very uncomfortable I was told the hotel was full so could not be moved. The evening before we left I was told we could have had a mattress topper

Wonderful Family Stay – Highly Recommend! We had a fantastic two-night family break at the Cumberland Hotel. We booked a family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds, and used Tesco Clubcard points which was a great bonus. We arrived just before check-in, easily found parking, and were warmly welcomed. Although our room wasn’t quite ready, we were invited to use the outdoor pool – a real treat on a sunny day! The pool was clean, well-staffed, and perfect for families. Huge thanks to Ali and Sophia, who looked after us for the whole trip with big smiles and great service. Our sea-view family room was spacious, spotless, and freshly decorated. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the in-room fridge was a brilliant touch for families. The bathroom was modern, though the shower pressure could be improved. Breakfast was another highlight. The buffet was hot, fresh, and constantly topped up. Franck, (age 82 was a gem) who served us, was an absolute star – even warming pancakes for our girls! The Friday night fireworks was amazing! A great bonus: guests can use facilities at other Oceana hotels. We enjoyed both outdoor pools and even used the indoor pool next door. Classic, friendly service like this is rare – every member of staff was lovely, a real credit to the team. We had a brilliant holiday and can’t wait to return!

A filthy, old hotel run by people who clearly show what they think of their customers by the experience they provide. Worst hotel experience of our lives. On arrival, we asked if we could get free parking, as we had booked several expensive rooms for two nights. The reception manager, extremely unpleasantly then greeted us and told us that her job is to make as much money as possible and as we booked our rooms several months ago, she thinks we did not pay enough and she could sell the rooms for double what we payed, so no free parking, £12 per night for us. Thanks. Everything is filthy, old and tired. Here is what you DONT GET - so be prepared. - No safe in the room - No water in the room - No fridge in the room - No soap in the shower - Water pressure too low to use the shower - One rusty iron and board PER FLOOR that spits out brown gunk - No MIRROR in the room, other than a tiny thing above the desk - A broken old hairdryer - Windows full of condensation and mould - Flat battered old pillows - Screaming, doors slamming and babies crying with a smell of weed throughout the night (ZERO SOUNDPROOFING) A once was something slightly special hotel many years ago before budget airlines took people to Spain milking its 70 year old reputation by providing a sub standard experience to its unsuspecting paying guests. Not a 2 star hotel let alone a 4 star. Reporting them to every authority, the owners should be ashamed of themselves.

Very comfortable bed and pillows. Seating in main lounge too low for my mobility but other areas ideal. Seating in Ventana restaurant, too low again. For a four star establishment, bedroom furniture needs updating and lining in my bedroom curtains very badly ripped and needs replacing. Breakfast has superb choice and the one evening meal we had was really lovely. Great bar and choice of drinks. Good staff all round.

We arrived at 1450 to find our room not ready. This was not a problem as we were slightly early. I was advised it would be ready in ten minutes. We went to the bar and purchased two drinks We returned at 1520 to be told our room was still not ready. We hovered at reception hoping to get into our room. . A different room was offered to us , which was accepted as it was then five hours after leaving our home. It didn’t feel like a good start .If the cost of the drinks were reimbursed it would have gone some way to appease us

8.0 / 10.0

Old facade, but rooms have been refurbished to a good standard. The rest of the interior has retained some of its 1920's charm. Staff are helpful and hotel is well positioned with wonderful sea views. Beware that if you book through Expedia parking at the hotel is not free. I would in future book direct as the hotel will match the Expedia price and you can take advantage of the free parking which saves £12 a day.

2.0 / 10.0

Avoid this hotel like the plague! Very old dated decor & furnishings throughout. Not a 4 star hotel - max 2.5. I booked a single room and ended up on the 4th floor, no air con. My friend on the 2nd floor had air con. I had paid more. I was brought a filthy, noisy, fan to use. The room stank of cigarette smoke and the carpets were rank. At breakfast there was no member of staff at the entrance (I appreciate this can happen) so I walked in. Five minutes later a waiter approached me with a payment machine and said 'how would you like to pay?' I had prepaid breakfast so this was incredibly rude. I should have been asked for my room number. Staff at the bar are very slow to serve guests but helpful once they do. There is an assumption at this hotel that guests will smash up the room and not pay for things. The manager actually said as much to me when I checked in. I would not recommend this hotel despite the sea location and pool.

8.0 / 10.0

The pool is lovely, but the lack of parasols an issue. Pillows were very hard, so I slept badly. The room that I thought I’d chosen on the Expedia website was not the one that I got given. You advertise a sea view. Please be more honest. as I had a wall view- but at least the room was quiet!!

4.0 / 10.0

The check-in was quick and efficient and the lobby/lounges and bars all looked very good on arrival. The rooms were smaller than we expected and not much space, possibly removing either desk or table as we did not need both, rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming and even arranged a birthday greeting for one of our party, which was very thoughtful and was appreciated. Only thing we were disappointed with was the sofas in the lounge areas were very low and uncomfortable and all of the guests were struggling to get up out of them, other than that we had a very enjoyable stay

4.0 / 10.0

Have stayed here quite a few times now and as usual the staff were efficient and the food in mirabelle restaurant excellent although a bit less choice at breakfast than previously- ie fresh fruit, yoghurt selection. Stair carpet needs replacing as very worn in places, covered by black tape and lounge furniture tatty although still comfortable. Would happily return though

5.0 / 10.0

Air conditioning is amazing beds very comfortable but had to check out on the 2nd night at 11pm due to the noise level from a function on & we were right above it! So really spoiled it, no rooms to change was offered! Not good when you have an autistic child with you and had to drive home which was a 3hour drive!

8.0 / 10.0

Only one lift that takes a maximum of 3 people which is too small for the size of the property.

4.0 / 10.0

The rooms were very comfortable and clean but i feel the landings and the stairs could do with updating. Carpets look old and worn and carpets are not the most hygienic. The pools were cold and the areas around the changing rooms could have been cleaner. Also more lockers are needed in the sister hotel for users of Sauna and indoor swimming pool. Also was not too happy that we had to pay more for the car park particularly when the space is not guaranteed. I felt like once i found a parking spot i could not take my car out again as i would not have been able to get a parking space upon return. Overall we were happy with our stay it was a great location. The customer service was good. If they can improve on the issues mentioned above it would be great

We had a good stay here. Staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. Everything was very efficient. No queues for check-in or breakfast and dinner service very good. Our only criticism would be that the decor was tired and our room, although comfortable, wasn’t very modern. The hotel could do with a refurbishment. Sound proofing could also be better. We were on the first floor and could hear loud music from downstairs in the evening until past 10pm. Indoor pool was in hotel next door (chlorine in air was very strong and made my eyes sting even as a spectator), outdoor pool was pretty chilly to stay in for too long.

8.0 / 10.0

A little shabby from our last stay in 2021. Chairs worn, chairs so low could not get out of unaided. If we had booked we would not have had to pay £12 a night parking. So will book direct next time.

Lovely and clean , staff really helpful . Could do with a lick of paint externally

6.0 / 10.0

This hotel has the potential to be great due to its location and views however it is in need of exterior (e.g painting) and interior attention to detail. Examples inside include tape on areas of carpet in the hallways, public sofas with split cushions and down at heal furniture on the balconies. The decor was somewhat outdated in parts. The room and bathroom were fine. Parking is difficult and is charged extra at £12 per day when booking through Expedia which we didn’t know in advance. We paid for a superior room with a balcony and sea view. The room itself was nice however there was considerable noise from the hall and neighbouring rooms making for a disrupted stay. The sea view was impressive, the balcony was very large but with tatty furniture and little privacy which was disappointing. We didn’t eat at the hotel choosing to walk down to the nearby beach restaurant which we enjoyed. We understand some of the facilities were in the next door hotel which was not explained to us on arrival. Overall a disappointment.
