Overall Ratings & Reviews Mercure Bournemouth Hotel and Spa

Location was ok. The hotel is tired and needs updating or replacing. It is cheap and is dog friendly. There are better alternatives though.

When arriving at the hotel the staff was amazing. Check in was simple and stress free. I was given a room which didn’t have a walk in shower at first and did request this and eventually the staff provided me with the walk In shower. Can’t fault the experience. Restaurant menu could have more of a variety but overall great. Defo stay again

The room was very nice but had wooden floors. Not a major problem until the room above with similar flooring was occupied. Very noisy. The Gym is very tired with old equipment. I do dislike arriving to a hotel which I have prepaid for to be immediately hit with a second bill for parking.

Very disappointed had executive room so paid more but apart from bigger tv dissapointed

Nice rooms, easy check in, great location walking distance to the sea, restaurants and bars.

Do not stay at this hotel. Poor

Go to hotel to stay in Bournemouth. Friendly staff and clean comfortable rooms.

Great position for the beach and town centre.

Noisy neighbours

Had booked to stay an extra night, staff couldn’t find booking and were rude and dismissive when showing all the confirmation emails. Not helpful at all

It was ok

It was a terrible experience, The Shower had very low water pressure, and couldn't take a shower. couldn't even sleep a bit at night since I couldn't take a shower. Told they couldn't fix it as the maintenance person clocked out at 8PM. TV was not working in the room. I booked it to have a nice relaxing holiday in a 4-star hotel. this is a run-down 1-star hotel. Cancelled the second night in the hotel but they didn't even refund fully only refined partially for the second night.

So the stay was good but not it’s normal excellent standard, a few issues with the room - bathroom needs re-siliconing and some tlc, toilet had limescale marks and replacement towels smelt like cooking oil (so I just reused the same towel I had hung up)- I have stayed here 4 times previously and this is the first time the standard slipped (perhaps it’s was just luck of the draw). Also on one of the nights there was a dog in the hotel in a room and it was barking for about 3 hours (after an hour both myself and another person in a neighbouring room complained - staff contacted the owners who went out but took their time returning) I agree to make allowances but perhaps the hotel need to have a stricter policy about leaving animals alone in the rooms so it doesn’t disturb other people’s sleep as some were there as leisure guests however I was on a business trip (or perhaps group leisure guests and business guests separately).

Our room was not comfortable and the air conditioning wasn’t working. The walls were all marked and dirty, and the bathroom toilet was not clean upon arrival.

Faulty air conditioning made for a hot and uncomfortable night. Very keen waiting staff cleared away our teas when we were getting our breakfast buffet. On the other hand room was nicely decorated, good bed, well cleaned.

Hi This was a lovely hotel. Inside it has been renovated and a lovely dining area, lounge and bar. The rooms are nicely decorated. Outside lets it down as it needs a good paint. Close to the sea and to the town. I’d stay again

Overall it was a pleasant stay however not worth the additional costs - unless you need a pool. It was a nice enough stay however we had booked the superior twin room - I don’t know how it was any superior than the usual; the size was the same as what we’ve experienced in travelodges in the same area and there was no amazing amenities attached. Everything else was pleasant having a good sized TV and controllable aircon was nice, beds were comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size - tap was broken however - but was still usable. This water however is not potable and the only access to drinking water was asking at the desk for cans which are then ultimately single use. The worst thing was that we also had to pay an unmentioned fee of £50 per night at the desk. They said would cover any spa treatment or food purchases on site (when we did get a couple of drinks at the bar the bartender presumed we would pay with card and didn’t ask if we wanted to put it on this fee). We wouldn’t receive it again up to 7 days after our stay. Thank god we were only staying two night otherwise I’d hate to think of the chunk of spending money that would be taken out of a family holiday especially when I can find no mention of this additional fee in any description for their hotel accommodations.

My partner and I spent two nights last weekend at the Queen's hotel in Bournemouth. It was a treat for her birthday. It was mainly disappointing. Staff seemed friendly, although some were difficult to understand. The carpark had spaces although payment would have been expected if I hadn't had a blue badge. No mention of this beforehand. A £50 per night key deposit was taken from my bank account. 7 nights- £350. Really!!! Our room (twin superior) was a good size, the bathroom newly refitted. Beds comfortable. Furniture old and well worn. Air con was on when we arrived but there was no control or instructions, I did manage to switch it off after a while. No hotel information in the room. The £15 breakfast was good. The swimming pool etc is small. My main complaint however was on the Saturday night at about 9.30, my partner and I had just gone to bed and were watching a film when one of the staff let himself into our room to tell us to turn the volume down. We were both startled and angered by this. We did make a complaint to the manager, stating this was 9.30 not 11.30 and why did we not receive a call on the room phone. We could have both been naked when he let himself in. Also in the advertising blurb it is stated that the rooms are soundproofed. The manager said he would look into our complaint, but so far no response from him. Is this a common occurrence?

Hotel is in a great location near east cliffs , 10 min walk to the city centre . Rooms are a good size . I feel the £50 deposit per night is a little much as there isn't really a mini bar to speak of . I enjoyed my stay and would return when im next in Bournemouth

Air Conditioning didn’t work in room,close to beach, friendly staff just make sure they confirm car registration otherwise you will get reported for not paying for parking
