Its a nice hotel with gym amenities although the pool is effectively a dipping pool and not good for serious swimmers. Staff are ok but if you are used to highest standard of service then you may be disappointed. What makes up for all of this is the view which (if you get a sea view room) is awesome and... more

I don’t tend to write reviews unless I feel a) other consumers should be warned that their hard earned money might be better spent elsewhere, or b) others could benefit from the amazing experience I have had somewhere. Unfortunately this review is the former, a bit of a warning. Firstly the good points about this hotel: - Nice location; over... more

We had stayed in the hotel in 2004 and found it comfortable and very handy for the beach, the town centre and the BIC. We had tickets for a concert at the BIC in June and after looking at the hotel's website decided to stay at the Highcliffe again. It has been considerably updated and we were given two sea-view... more

Stayed one night here whilst attending a concert at BIC. Hotel is just a couple of minute's walk to the central area near the pier and five minutes walk to the main shops . The hotel is an older style building ( with creaky floors!) and the decor in the public rooms reflects this. Some modernisation of the bedrooms has... more

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

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

We stayed in a Junior Suite with our young baby. When we arrived, we were shown a Junior suite which was spacious but, had a very small bathroom and overlooked the carpark. We asked to see another Junior Suite and were shown the suite opposite, which was twice the size and twice as nice and came with a hefty price... more
