The Abbey lodge is a wonderfull place for a drunken weekend. The room was shabby chic and the staff friendly. I would have liked a second pillow but the spare ones seemed to be soiled which was the only bad point. My friends and I had a great time and the rock bar was a real eye opener. Perfect for... more

Firstly let me say that after reading all of the previous reviews on this site about the Abbey Lodge Hotel in Bournemouth, I was extremely apprehensive about taking the whole family on a long weekend trip. I quickly returned to the Premium UK travel agent who showed me pictures of the hotel since they re-opened after a vast refurb –... more

Booked this hotel via a stag party company and to be fair it was fine for what we needed. A large bar downstairs with friendly staff, which showed football and stayed open til 3am. It is however advertised as a sports bar, but it doesn't have Sky Sports!? Strange. The rooms are small but fine for what we needed. The... more

Road looked dodgy, with no car park. Reception dark & dingy, receptionist never spoke, just nodded! Hallway had broken unsafe light fitting hanging, large wire hanging down in hallway not fitted correctly(think from a/c unit). Both rooms had shower facilities faulty, one had old dirty towel still left hanging over shower curtain both rooms inadequate in size and looked very,... more

We stayed at this hole for 2 nights as part of a stag weekend booked with stag weekend uk. We had three rooms at this hotel and they were all as bad as each other. In each room the tv did'nt work every cupboard or chest of drawers were broken in 1 shapre of form. The beds had bugs in... more

I had the misfortunate of staying in this hotel on a combination business/pleasure trip in mid-November 2008. It was shown as a 2-star hotel so I was not expecting much, but whomever gave this place 2-stars must have been hit on the head and was therefore seeing stars! From the lift that had been out of service for months, to... more

Booked through a party company for my nieces hen weekend. Full of men, very noisy, and dirty. Ok if you're a drunk man but not so good if you're a sober woman. You get what you pay for and we did. Blood on the bed covers, empty coke wrappers under the tv (which didn't pick up anything). Dirty bathroom, toe... more

The Abbey lodge does what it says on the tin to be fair. It is basically full of stag do's out to get drunk, be load and make a fool of the stag! I wouldn't advise people to stay here for a quiet weekend but for a stag weekend it is perfect, has a bed and a clean shower/bath in... more
