A lovely hotel with helpful staff. It had car parking outside the hotel and also limited free parking on the street outside. It was about 10mins walk from BIC and the main beach and 10mins walk from Durley Chine beach.

Great little hotel, great value for money central for Bournemouth centre and the beach area (10 to 15 minute walk) the manager was incredibly friendly and helpful. Check in and check out was very smooth. Rooms are modern, well maintained and very clean. Didn’t have breakfast, but there is a little bar and courtyard which was lovely to relax in after a big day at graduation. Highly recommended.

This is a great Hotel. Clean room and really friendly staff. Will definitely stay again.

Was ok for othernight stay

If it’s a sunny day, ask the staff to open the windows & close the curtains before your arrival. No air con or fans on the room. Also, be wary of the taps & shower in the bathroom. They were the opposite to what was stated (hot was cold, cold was hot). The staff are great, well informed & helpful. The bedding was clean and the rooms were tidy.

The hotel didn't appear particularly busy when I stayed so I was able to make use of the limited hotel parking that was available. The cost was £10 Reasonable imo. The location of the hotel is excellent for both the beach and the main town and it's very easy to walk to both. My single room was clean and well maintained. However, as good as the shower was it did take an age for the warm water to come through. The one downside was that you have to remember to tell the reception staff before 8pm that you require breakfast the following morning. Unfortunately I remembered too late and the reception closed at 8pm so I needed to go elsewhere for my breakfast. The Olive Grove cafe down the road did an excellent full English and very reasonable. I'd stay here again as it's handy for the ferry from Poole

I have travelled and stayed in many hotels We stayed 2 nights in June 2026 With this hotel ,not happy. Staff ok.helpful. But the hotel is very old and tatty. Beds not comfortable. Rooms have no air conditioning Rooms was very hot Couldn't sleep Parking ok.breakfast ok.simple Strict rules on check in and check out Communal room shuts early. Small garden ,very dirty. Will not go back.

I mainly liked Cecil Court because it was in a quiet location, with little disturbance from other guests. I was prepared for the 15 minute walk to the beach I stayed in a single room with ensuite bathroom, which was of a good size and comfortable.

A nice clean and well maintained hotel in a good location. Both the shops and beach were within walking distance from the hotel. There were also restaurants and cafes within walking distance and bus stop close by for accessing local bus services within Bournemouth. The room was a reasonable size and comfortable bed. The only thing found was the reception was mainly staffed during check-in times, so there wasn't really staff around to ask questions regarding the hotel.

The staff were extremely helpful when I arrived a few minutes after 8pm. The room was just perfect for a single traveller, the bed was extremely comfortable! Free Wi Fi was a bonus . There was free parking on the street outside. The charge for parking in the hotel car park was really reasonable, although the car park is rather small . It was great for my one night stay. I didn’t get chance to try the breakfast before checking out but would definitely consider staying here again.

It's perfect for what you pay. Pity you have to pay for parking though.

This is a great hotel in a good location. Very clean & in good condition. Excellent value for money & the staff are great.

Parking tight. Breakfast ok.

Paid parking for cars. But i went on a motorcycle & that was free. Also a free room upgrade. All good

Loved the stay.

Slightly daunting check in process with a list of extra costs for everything including coming in late, parking and losing your key. However the room was clean and tidy, the breakfast smelt lovely though we did not book for breakfast. There was a bar there but it was unmanned and you had to request drinks

The chap behind reception was very welcoming and informative. The bed was super comfy and the huge tv was a bonus! Really quiet room so we slept really well. Generally a really good stay. Only issues we had were the toilet brush was filthy with dirty water at the bottom of the brush and the carpet in the room desperately needs a clean there were coffee spills and marks all over it, but In all a really good stay we will come back. No issues with parking either :)

Parking was easy, breakfast good value for £10

Only stayed one night en route west. Very comfy room (small single but perfectly adequate). Very nice shower. Free on road parking after 7pm, very convenient for shops, take-aways etc. Would definitely stay again

Friendly check in room very small and tired needs up dating parking £10 very tight if you have a large car walking distance into town.
