3.0 / 10.0

Pillows could be thicker and 2 each per guest , a bit of a update in bedroom furniture as it was quite a small room too much furniture.Bathroom was clean but tired , bed also clean but a better mattress would be key for a good sleep , Breakfast was great , only thing maybe to have a selection of vegan options could be provided .Staff were fruendly

3.0 / 10.0

The hotel unfortunately feels more like a 3 star than a 4 star. The breakfast is quite limited and the rooms weren’t as clean as we would expect. The staff were helpful and kind. The pool is quite small it’s a good size if you manage to get it to yourself but as soon as it gets busy it’s no good. The sauna takes a while to heat up and the steam room was out of order.

Nice hotel and pool, good amenities. Freindly staff.

4.0 / 10.0

Room a bit dated and a bit on the cold side it had air cond but didn’t heat the room

1.0 / 10.0

The room was unbearably cold. The pool experience was a disaster. The changing rooms were incredibly cramped, and the pool itself was small with debris floating in the water. Most frustratingly, the showers only had lukewarm water. Shivering in a cold locker room, we desperately needed a warm shower, but it was impossible.The shower in our room was completely blocked.The Wi-Fi signal was so weak and unstable that it was practically useless.

2.0 / 10.0

Room was a little tired although it did have air conditioning The main reason for filling in the survey was the food. The first night it took 50 minutes for the starter to arrive which was only pate. The second night the starter and main course arrived together. The actual food was quite nice

Had a lovely stay here for our anniversary. Check in was smooth and friendly. Staff were always lovely. Upon arriving in our room the look and quality were great for the price we paid. They had even left us a personalised card. Can't recommend enough.

8.0 / 10.0

Size and cleanliness of the room great

6.0 / 10.0

For the price of the room I can't complain, and was very close to the venue and the staff were all pleasant and friendly. However, the hotel is quite run down, the TV had no signal, the cup in the room was dirty, the key card didn't work all that well. Breakfast buffet was ok but not worth £11.

5.0 / 10.0

Very comfortable one night stay and very good value for money

8.0 / 10.0

Great hotel, only 6 mints walk to the seafront. Rooms were a nice size. The building itself is a little tired and the spa facilities weren't great but the pool was nice. Staff were really friendly and made for a lovely stay.

6.0 / 10.0

Dated hotel. Room was spacious but not particularly clean. Hotel needs modernising. We also experienced people going through the bins after returning from an evening out. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Would not recommend.

10.0 / 10.0

It's a rare joy to find a hotel with in room controlled aircon. I'd rebook just for that! The hotel is a grand old place and parking is a nightmare. But it's well situated with a sea walk just yards from your door and a surprisingly quiet location close to town.

5.0 / 10.0

Room was lovely, bed was extremely comfortable had a great night's sleep. Didn't require breakfast as we ate out, room service great (£3.95) tray charge. Friendly staff always someone to help Safe to say i will definitely recommend and will also be returning next year

8.0 / 10.0

The room itself is cosy and updated, but the facilities looks outdated. Once I stepped out the room I felt the vibe is back 30 years ago. Still it is a nice stay.

1.0 / 10.0

Booked this for my wife to stay for a couple of nights to investigate the area and meet up with family nearby. The first night, single room was very small (like a cupboard) outdated and dirty. Also lots of noise from other rooms and corridors. A free upgrade the next day to a double room was given after complaining but that room was not much bigger and also very dirty and dilapidated. This is an old, tired and uncared for building and should probably be knocked down. Staff aren't enthusiastic and appear unhappy. There are many more, much better hotels to be discovered nearby. This may well be a four star hotel but reviews are definitely more reliable when choosing your hotel!

Sauna broken, key card didn’t work, pay to park and no parking. Dirty room

We would stay again, But our first visit on Monday 22nd 2025, there were a few things I could notice, carpet,stair carpet very fraid needs looking into, language issues at reception. Room 222 bathroom needs an update, bath needs looking at, sealant around bath and tiles definitely needs doing. 2nd visit Room 307 much better, again bathroom needs looking at sealant again. Slanting Roof above bed could lead to head injury issues maybe a warning sign saying mind your head may help. Man on reception 2nd visit was outstanding, couldn't do enough for us.Like All hotel rooms Never enough tea, coffee milk on offer in Room's

I stayed for 2 nights and didnt fully experience what the hotel had to offer such as the spa, swimming pool, restaurant and bar area as i had my dog with me and understood that dogs wasnt allowed in the public areas ..... i would go back and stay again and hopefully get to enjoy the spa experience.

When booking,nothing was dsid about the parking charge at hotel and nothing said that breakfast was at 8am,which unfortunately for someone who starts work at 7:30 this is not good. Staff were friendly and happy to assist

4.0 / 10.0

The Durley Dean had a great location, just a few minutes walk from the promenade and beach. Check-in was easy and the staff were always friendly and helpful. My son and I loved the swimming pool which was a good temperature and a clean and safe environment. Our family room was quite spacious and had everything we could reasonably expect for the price we paid (thank you Tesco Clubcard!). A nice touch that they seemed to keep all the family rooms in the same zone. We all had a peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast was fulsome and delicious: all options available. Great that checkout wasn't till 11 , meaning that we could use the pool again that morning. We paid £15 for 24 hours in the hotel's car park which seemed good value as well as convenient and allowed us to go for a walk on the seafront before departing from Bournemouth, which was looking as beautiful as ever. Would recommend and return.

5.0 / 10.0

Its really amazing - don't be hesitant book - its far better than any chain hotel. its amazing value for money, great facilities and wondefrul location. A really great hotel.
