Have just arrived back after a 3 day break. Great hotel, helpful, friendly owners, quiet location but only a couple of mins walk to the shops and about 5 min walk to the beach. The theme of the hotel is 50's icons, with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley etc, adorning the walls, but is is very tastefully done. ROOM... more

I have stayed at the Blue Palms many times and would never stay anywhere else in Bournemouth. Paul and Avril are the most amazing hosts, friendly, helpful and courteous without being intrusive. The rooms are well decorated with fabulous hollywood themes. Spotlessly clean with very comfortable furniture. The introduction of freeview TV is a nice touch. The breakfasts are freshly... more

We stayed at the Blue Palms for a weekend break 8 Feb - 11 Feb 2008. The hotel is ideally situated right in the centre of Bournemouth with only a few minutes walk to the town, shops, bars, restaurants and beach.

My husband, daughter (4) and I stayed here having read the reviews and have to agree wholeheartedly with them. The hotel was in a fantastic location just 5 minutes walk from the shops. Upon arrival, our room was spotlessly clean and the owners, Paul and Avril were very welcoming and couldnt do enough to help us. They chatted to our... more

I can honestly say that we have found a Fantastic hotel. Paul and Avril counld not make you more welcome, the hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from either the... more

Fabulous!! That's the only way I can start this review. If you want to stay somewhere thats as close to a home from home, then this is THE place. Paul and Avril (the owners) offer the warmest welcome as soon as you arrive. The Hotel itself is spotless with every care to detail covered. The rooms again are of the... more
