Property Description
Be blissfully happy beside the seaside at the Best Western Plus The Connaught Hotel. This picture-perfect hotel in Bournemouth is centrally located on the West Cliff, close to the town center and an abundance of shops, cafes, clubs and bars.

This divine 4-Star hotel and spa boasts beautiful and spacious accommodation, and superb facilities. Built in 1850, the Best Western Plus The Connaught Hotel has lost none of its original charm; in fact, its appeal only increases as the hotel gets better with age.

It seems we really are the very best place to stay in Bournemouth, and that’s coming from the experts!
A delightful garden terrace, excellent spa and leisure facilities and gorgeous food will make sure your stay is a most memorable one, as four fabulous restaurants can be found at the hotel. Blakes, our fine dining restaurant headed by Chef Ben Nicol, so you can be assured you’re in the very best of hands.

Nice hotel, limited time for kids allowed in swimming pool

We specifically booked this hotel for our anniversary and they decorated the bed with petals which was a nice touch. The hotel itself was very nice but the rooms were a bit outdated and the toilet was dirty. There were quite a few downsides which did ruin our short stay. We booked this hotel specifically for the spa facilities mainly the jacuzzi pool but this was out of order before we got there and we were not informed of this otherwise we would’ve booked elsewhere and it wasn’t fixed for our entire stay. Swimming pool was decent but not the cleanest as i felt dirt on pool floor.
On our last night we ran out of water and my wife is pregnant so i went to the night porter and asked for a bottle of water which they provide complimentary daily but he said he couldn't give me one and he could sell one from the bar, which i found ridiculous. The room didnt have a fridge so we couldnt buy any water and keep it cool.
Parking was £10 a day which I believe should be included in the stay.
Hotel staff were friendly other than that but I would probably look elsewhere next time. For the price we paid I did expect a lot more from the hotel.

We got upgraded as soon as we came which was nice
However there were hairs in the bathroom floor
And a little mark on the bedsheet but it was sorted as I spoke. Over all it was a good place to stay

The hotel lobby is beautiful, the food in the restaurant is good, the breakfast is rich, the waiters are very friendly and the service attitude is good, the hotel is very close to the beach, the environment is beautiful, the water is clear and the sand is fine! Highly recommended
