New Westcliff Hotel

The reception was ok. Cleanliness ok Bed comfort Zero Bathroom Area Zero General atmosphere Zero. Only food available a Breakfast box by the door. Left after one night and had to pay to stay in another hotel Hotel near by provide good service and Evening meal plus cooked breakfast at just a small amount more than the Westcliffe. Cost me an additional £500. Covid Excuse does not apply as I have stayed in 4 hotels in Devon and Cornwall all providing good service and Food. Only worth £40 per night if you did not want to eat and sleep. Would not recommend it to Anyone

Outside appearance

Lovely stay but a few downsides. hot in the room and little air flow when windows were open. Bed was very comfy and it was very clean but water pressure in shower was not very strong. We ordered breakfast which was around £7 but it didn’t meet our expectations as most of it was packaged sugary food. The pool, sauna and jacuzzi was a real highlight, and booking a slot to ourselves was easy.

I think it should be cheaper as they don’t do anything for you no cleaning ect

At first we found all the extra rules quite frustrating (Only 1 hour in the pool at allocates time, no left luggage, no late check out etc) but I have to say the manager really made up for it and was so kind and accommodating and let my kids use the cinema even after we checked out. He made us feel very welcome and for this reason we were happy overall.

The man on front of house has fantastic customer service skills. Nothing was a problem to him and he was alway's willing to help.

It was a very good relaxing trip. So close to the beach and facilities which were all within walking distance. The use of the pool, sauna and jacuzzi was an added plus and helped us to relax even more.

Was fine for a 1 night. Short walk to the beech and town

Quaint and clean, C19 changes worked well, reception desk very helpful, would be nice to have luggage storage as check out is early (the beach is near!!!)

Hotel very poor. Bedroom small and cramped, same with the bathroom. Hot water non existent at peak times in the morning and evening. Continental breakfast served in a box. Very basic and charged £8 but items in the box came with prices on and tbd cost was just over £3

Avoid room 14!!! I am extremely disappointed having contacted the hotel on two separate occasions and have still not had a response! Rather than write a poor review, I thought I would speak to the lady on the desk to raise my concerns. This has been quite an unpleasant stay for a few reasons - The standard of cleaning in room was terrible even after I addressed this on arrival, the room got hoovered but it still needed cleaning especially around places that needed a pipe to clean the area! The bathroom shower tray was absolutely filthy! Additionally, we didn’t get much sleep at all, due to the bed being so uncomfortable; the springs stick out and so we had to sleep on top of the duvet but also the bed tilts when lying close to the left side by the window! The hair dryer has no safety guard on it and when I dried my hair, I got all my hair sucked into the back and had to cut it out!! I went to the reception desk to ask for a replacement so I could dry my hair after swimming and they said I had to wait for house keeping to arrive but we were checking out so I couldn’t dry it! Also the jacuzzi had scum all around it. When I raised these these concerns I was just told sorry! This wasn’t good enough; the manager wasn’t there to speak too! I would never return or recommend this hotel!

Non family friendly room more for travellers wanting to stay in shelter.

I enjoyed the facilities at the New Westcliff Hotel. It was great to have an hour use of the swimming pool all to myself. There is a jacuzzi and sauna though I did not have time to use either. The reception staff are amiable, and I spoke to Mark on several occasions. He was pleasant, easy to approach, and helpful. There was plenty to do in Bournemouth and I took advantage of the hotel's central location. I would happily stay again. However, a single room is quite tight and lacks space. Not very much that can be done about the single rooms I presume, but it is a comment I would make that other hotels tend to have more rooms around the area of the bed and space to walk around. Thank you for the overall positive experience.

Check in was the only neutral part of this experience. The room was a box, room 8. I could touch both walls with out stretching. the decor was old. This I can put up with. What I do object to is the state of the bed. This had a broken base, leaving a plank of wood across the bed as the only real support for the mattress.

It was a good stay with what to expect as Covid restriction still followed. Close to the beach and walking distance with breakfast pre packed.

Unfriendly staff… Not felt welcomed… Unpleasant room.. Not as big as stated.. Bad quality beds.. Tiny little shower… No air condition or fan Extremely poor quality box breakfast Not value for money at all.

There was no one at reception to welcome us on arrival one member of staff another guests to get there attention as he was working the bar the pillow was dirty had to change them myself i was also denied cutlery had to eat my Chinese with tee spoon overall was not impressed

All the communal areas are very well updated. However, the rooms leave a lot to be desired, shower was too small and dated, didn’t work properly. A family room was so small the bathroom door hit the beds. You have to use your bath towels for the pool which is not what it should be like. Extra pool towels should be provided. No towel or clothes hooks around the pool, sauna or spa area, apart from in the changing rooms. Only one hand held shower by the spa, so overall not a great experience. Staff very friendly though.

The hotel room was extremely dated, the toilet was situated inside the room (not in the entrance hall as you come in) so it was like going toilet in the wardrobe. The shower was almost unusable as it literally just trickled - almost no water came out. Would definitely not stay there again.

Hotel was fine but just a bit ‘tired’ - noisy/rattling extractor fan in bathroom; very hard bed and fairly flat pillows etc. If I was paying around £50 it’s be fine, but for over £160 I’d have expected a slightly better standard. Compared to Premier Inn or newer Travelodges it was much less comfortable. Staff were helpful; location was great - just the room itself that left a little to be desired.
