My partner and I have stayed at Marlins Hotel on previous visits to Bournemouth. I would have to say that in my opinion, and from what others say on here, this hotel is first class. The couple that run the place, are great, nothing is to much trouble and Michael cooks the best breakfast around. The hotel has parking, which... more

We stayed at Marlins for two nights in June this year and enjoyed everything about. I always choose private hotels over chains as they get the balance right between caring about guests personally and price. I'd recommend this hotel if your staying in Bournemouth. Maud more

Have just come back from another excellent stay at Marlins, again nothing was too much trouble for Michael & Neil, all we had to do was ask and it was done!! The breakfasts were superb, what a great start to the day, I think Michael is the chef and Neil provides the service. The rooms are so nice and cosy,... more

We recently stayed at the Marlins Hotel, after a friends recommendation and I have to say, we were delighted with the stay. The rooms was really clean and the facailites were fanatstic. With easy walking distance to the centre, this hotel really exceeded our expectations. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We will be... more

We have found our oasis in Bournemouth. We visit the town quite a lot for concerts at the BIC and from now on will always stay at the Marlins...vacancy permitting of course! Spotlessly clean, home from home welcome, fabulous breakfast, super hosts, overall just wonderful..It might sound strange to mention the bed specifically, but we have a tempur matress at... more

Thank you to Neil and Michael for our lovely break at The Marlins Hotel. The reviews are completely correct! - the hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms comfortable, breakfast excellent and owners incredibly helpful! What more could you ask for? We will definately return when we next visit Bournemouth. Thumbs up all round! more

I actually cancelled my original booking at another hotel and switched to this one after I read the reviews on here - and it really is as good as it sounds. Felt more like I was visiting someone's house than staying in a hotel - the staff are really friendly and I had possibly the best English breakfast here that... more

Very welcoming and tidy Hotel. Proprietor was very hospitable and could not do enough for us to make us feel at home. Rooms were very clean, modern and tidy and I would certainly recommend a stay. more

We stayed at this place for just two nights while in town for a show at The Pavilion. Neil and Michael made us feel very welcome upon arrival and throughout our stay. Bournemouth's two venues, the BIC and the Pavilion, are both within a short walk of the hotel and so is the town centre. It's mostly downhill to all... more
