This was about my tenth visit to The Belvedere. It is not a great hotel, but then, as other reviewers have pointed out, Bournemouth does not have great standards and until it does, The Belvedere is relatively not too bad. In its favour is an excellent central location; just over five minutes from the beach. And good (free) parking. You... more

i find the other reviews about this hotel a bit over the top. yes the hotel needs re furbishing but is that a crime? we stayed in a family room which was good in size and cleaned very well daily. the bathroom looked a bit tired and some of the tiles were coming of the floor but this really isnt... more

This is one of the worst hotels that I have ever stay at in the U.K. It should be rated as a one star not a three star. The interior is outdated (it looks like 1970) and in very poor condition. The bedroom floor squeaks every time you take a step. The lift was out of order. The carpet in... more

We decided to book a short getaway, and used our airmiles to book the belverdere. I read all the reviews and felt depressed after I had already booked... and it was too late to change so we decided to keep an open mind. When we arrived we were greeted with such a warm and friendly welcome! , My 3 year... more

We had a sea view room which was a nice suprise, but the breakfasts in the mornings were simply the worst we have ever had. The cooked breakfast was disgusting, we could not eat it and noticed during our stay that an awful lot of people were not eating theirs either. The toast was cold and burnt. Service was very... more

This was our 5th time at the Belvedere Hotel, situated near the top of Bath Road with good parking facilities. On arrival we asked if we could change our room to one facing the beach, which they very kindly did. Our room was very comfortable it had tea making facillities, a flat screen TV and plenty of wardrobe space and... more

Visited The Belvedere Mon - Fri, clientelle aged 60yrs +, so relatively quiet. Room dated but clean, beds comfy, situated by kitchen so could hear crockery being cleaned etc.Breakfast very good although service a bit on the slow side. Hotel approx 5 min walk down hill to town/beach. We did experience the fire alarm going off just after midnight on... more

This is the worst hotel I haver ever stayed in. Yes, English hotels - especially in the provinces - have been on a steep learning curve in recent times, but this place was off the chart. There is simply no excuse for hotels of this poor quality to still be in existence, period. The receptionist was uninterested in sorting out... more

I was given room 418: it was extremely hot in the room and despite the window open day and night did not cool down over the 3 day stay. The room is at the back of the hotel where there was a constant loud droning noise - again day and night. I was booked in on Friday to Sunday and... more
