My husband and I stayed here for three nights as he was attending a conference at the BIC which is just two minutes walk away. We had considered a sea view room and were shown a couple in case we wanted to upgrade. However, closer inspection revealed that they were not as large as some of those in the Dorchester... more

I have stayed here 20+ times on business over the last few years and due to a recent bad experience in a different Bournemouth hotel recently I had to write a review on the Highcliff as they do such a good job. This is a proper hotel run by well trained Hotel Professionals who understand customer service and every element... more

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights celebrating our wedding anniversary --- I must say absolutely perfect choice for us everything is more than expected --- can't fault anything at all. Check in : Staff very friendly and very welcoming --- we booked Deluxe room Dinner Bed & Breakfast package and we told them in advance that we... more

We arrived early on Sunday morning taking the bus from Heathrow. This was a simple process and it was neat to see the countryside. The cab from the bus station to the hotel was aprox. 8 pounds. Upon arrival, reception took our cell # and said they would call when the room was ready. We hung out and got a... more

Superb room. Staff at reception and at Breakfast were very helpful and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The swimming pools and Sauna were a lovely spin-off. more

How wrong I was...in part. The hotel is a refurbished old hotel on the Westcliff above Bournemouth...an easy downhill 5 minute walk to the pier and 10 minutes to... more

A pretty good hotel in a good location. My room was excellent (and huge), but some colleagues were not so lucky, and also suffered noise from a wedding party on Saturday night. Breakfast excellent, only disapointment was the parking: I had to use the dodgy NCP behind for one night. more

We arrived early, so the room wasn't ready, but that was to be expected in a busy hotel. So we returned at the official check-in time, and still no go. They offered to ring our mobile to alert us when the room was ready, but the call never came (A complimentary drink would have been better) Then when we finally... more
