Great Staff The Manager had a fantastic excellent attitude. Pool Gym Sauna. Steam Room absolutely 5 star the swimming pool is absolutely fantastic. Our two rooms were fantastic Room maids do a fantastic Job. The staff in the breakfast area were very nice especially the asian lady with the glasses. She was so polite. Reception staff on arrival and throughout the 2 night stay were excellent. The parking was great and one less stress.

I can fully recommend this hotel. Rooms cleaned daily if required, nothing too much trouble for any of the staff. The best nights sleep I've had in a long time, the bed is amazing, I didn't want to get out of it! Brilliant location for beach and town. Wonderful spa facilities which we used regularly. We will be returning.

We had a fantastic stay at The Connacht. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach and the vibrant nightlife. On-site parking was a bonus, and the spa facilities were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my friend’s birthday feel special. Thank you Tomas for your hospitality! The hotel itself looks stunning after the refurbishment, especially the dining area. While the rooms could use a little updating, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We’d happily stay again next time we’re in Bournemouth. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable stay!

My daughter gave me a gift voucher for tea at the Connaught Hotel in Bournemouth. Initially I thought parking would be a problem, but noticed there was additional parking adjacent to the main building's parking area. The service was welcoming & friendly & the table was close to an exit to a pretty, sheltered patio area. Most people were on Bournemouth beach, so I enjoyed being in a cooler, relaxed environment on what would have been an uncomfortably hot day. The "tea for one" consisted of two scones of my choice, a couple of sandwich fingers & a selection of tasty savoury & sweet treats. I particularly enjoyed the small cheese scone with cream cheese & chutney & fruit scone with Rasberry jam & clotted cream! These were served warm, just the way I like them! The pot of tea, rather than coffee, was also my choice. I left the hotel carrying my little box with the few miniature cakes to take home. This gift voucher was a great idea!
