Excellent location on the East Cliff with good views and a short walk down to the Pier. Staff very friendly with excellent service. Hotel clean throughout and the room was of a good size. Breakfast was excellent. Good indoor pool which at times was as warm as a bath. For what I paid and for what I got I could... More

Booked through an agent (in India it seemed) who lied and told us we'd get a twin but didnt tell the hotel. Staff most apologetic and gave us free use of spa later on day we left. First (wrong room) was simply dreadful. Very clean but ancient. Decor great if you're 85yo, plumbing appalling - everything dripped all night long.... More

We stayed nights of 29th and 30th January. Mostly other guests were with coach parties and they seemed to dominate the staffs' attention so we felt a little anonymous. However, we cannot fault the staff at all - very helpful and mostly smiling. Praises to Miguel in particular who brought water without being asked when I had a coughing fit!!... More

Dear luke6996, Our penthouse rooms are some of the finest three star rooms in Bournemouth. We have taken great care in their design to reflect a contemporary feel. We, as well as many hotels in this day and age use zip and link beds in many of our rooms. They are designed to be used a doubles or if required... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Suncliffe Hotel,which was very enjoyable. The hotel was clean, the food was good especially the breakfast with plenty of choice. The staff were very polite and very helpful. The hotel also has a lovely swimming pool and jacuzzi which added to the enjoyment. We would recommend the Suncliffe. More
