We stayed at the Ocean Beach Hotel and Spa in Bournemouth for a girls’ trip with a group of nine, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the reception staff were friendly, polite, and very welcoming throughout our stay. The location was ideal — just a short walk from the beach — which made it perfect for a short getaway. While the hotel itself was nice, there were a few minor points to note. There was only one lift, which was quite small and couldn’t accommodate more than 2 people at a time if you are with luggage, which was a bit inconvenient for a group. Also, the room sizes varied — some of us had spacious rooms while others found theirs quite compact. Additionally, there was no air conditioning, which might be something to consider during warmer months. Despite these small drawbacks, we had a great time and would still recommend the hotel for a short stay. It was a pleasant experience overall, and we appreciated the hospitality and cleanliness.

We were really disappointed with our stay. I specifically requested one large bed, but instead, we got two separate beds pushed together with two single duvets, which made it very uncomfortable for a couple. The bed had visible stains, there was no hairdryer, and the TV was dangerously loose on the wall, almost falling off. The window was old and stiff, and we could barely open it without feeling like it would break. There was also a crack in the ceiling, which didn’t make the room feel well-maintained at all. Overall, the room felt neglected and not worth the money. We expected basic comfort and cleanliness, but it just wasn’t there. The only thing we liked is the location. That's it.
