Had the pleasure of going to Urban beach on a night out - great atmosphere, lovely staff and great environment. Being able to sit out on a cool evening with the luxury of patio heaters (yeah - I know, not environmentally friendly but hey - it was cold!) was divine.

Didn't stay but ate in the restaurant. Delicious well cooked food and good service. Good decor and atmosphere. Mussels were great and child's fish & chips were declared delicious by 5 year old and certainly looked it too.

Just returned from our visit to Boscombe, Bournemouth. Having stumbled upon The Urban Beach on the internet we were not sure how it would live up to the website. It surpassed everything we had imagined. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly and professional staff who made sure we knew the ins and outs of the hotel... More

I booked a weekend as a gift for some friends. The hotel had excellent front desk service and a refreshingly honest website with individual room details and views. They responded to emails promptly and helped out with printing a voucher for the 'gift'. The couple I bought it for have just returned and seem ecstatic with their stay - thank... More

We stay in a lot of hotels all over the world and always are looking for a few things: A big comfy bed, great bathroom and a boutique feel as opposed to the awful corporate giants that pass for 4 and 5 star simply because they have a pool a gym and plenty of lifts! This hotel had all of... More

Stayed for one night with my wife and four children. It’s a great hotel in a good location and only a short walk from Boscombe beach. When you arrive it looks like a surfers/beach bar and this theme is carried on internally and very tastefully…… it’s a place that you immediately feel chilled and relaxed in and this is helped...

I first visited Urban Beach 7 years ago and have returned several time since. The experience is always comfortable, friendly, professional and yet personal. Mark and his team all demonstrate tat great customer care separates the good from the brilliant. Breakfast is superb but it's the cocktails that I'll be going back for. Well, those and the boutiquey, classy rooms.
