I had a great 3-night stay at The Cumberland Hotel, while in Bournemouth for a conference. The reception team were friendly and welcoming, and storing my bags both before check in and after checking out was easy. I had some special dietary requirements and needed to store some food in a fridge, as well as getting different foods at breakfast. The dining room staff were excellent - really helpful and accommodating. My room was clean and comfortable, and had all I needed, with a sea view too! The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from the town centre, but close to the beach and on a very attractive road overlooking the sea. I'd definitely stay again.

Amazing stay definitely will come back! A beautiful view of the sea, and more than polite set of staff holding doors open for me telling me about the hotel and all their events and the spa, me and my partner had an amazing time rooms are very clean as in another review someone claimed plugs were rusty but that wasnt the case. the rooms were perfect! Very clean and comfortable highly recommended, great value too

Stayed in this hotel twice now and always enjoyed coming here. I like how they renovated it with beautiful art deco Furnishings. Our room had a new modern bathroom installed so everything was clean and comfortable. Only little thing is we had to separate the beds ourselves to ensure our bedding arrangement is twin bedding. Surprised they didn't do it before our arrival as we specifically asked for a twin. At night, you can hear people nearby but not as noisy as some other hotels in Bournemouth so our stay was very pleasant. The staff are very polite and helpful. They helped me retrieve a forgotten item which I am grateful for. The spa facilities are a nice bonus too. So looking forward to returning here in the summer.

Me & hubby have just come back from a 1 night stay at the cumberland hotel. All the Christmas decorations were up. Felt very festive. We had a lovely steak baguette & salad for lunch, which was very nice. Drinks not over priced for a hotel. Very warm inside the hotel, which is better than being cold. We had a double room, which was decorated modern, bathroom so nicely done. Beds are so comfy. We had one of the best buffet breakfasts in a long time. Staff were very friendly. Cannot fault our stay. We will definitely come back.

Although the hotel is in a good location with lovely sea views, the property itself feels very dated and in need of repainting both inside and out. It seems the hotel is heavily focused on hosting additional events, and as a result it doesn’t feel like a suitable place for a relaxing 4-star break. We experienced a lot of noise from neighbouring rooms, which made it difficult to rest. While the staff were friendly and polite, overall the hotel feels tired and does not deliver the 4-star experience you would expect. The carpets in the corridors were particularly dirty, which was quite disappointing.
