stunning sea views and close to attractions make this a gem

I loved the breathtaking sea views from my room and the hotel is just a short walk from the Bournemouth Observation Wheel and the Oceanarium, making it perfect for my weekend strolls through the area.

The pool was a nice addition, and the location was fab for family fun. Our spacious room had plenty of space for the kids.

Not enough hot water during our shower.

my stay at the carlton was a pleasant surprise! i’ve stayed in other hotels in bournemouth before, but this place exceeded my expectations with its spacious room and fantastic sea view. the breakfast spread was notably diverse, and the staff really added a personal touch with their friendliness.

shower pressure was incredibly weak

The family bedroom was surprisingly spacious and notably clean, which made for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was plentiful and offered good quality, especially the cured meats. Unfortunately, we faced serious issues due to the room's poor state. the bathroom had black mold, and the taps ran brown water. the outdoor area was dirty, diminishing the overall appeal. Disturbances from other guests disrupted our relaxation, further detracting from our experience.

Great hotel with its outdoor heated swimming pool, friendly staff, and 24-hour reception. I remember the staff helped me with bug spray on my first stay. I highly recommend it for relaxation!

Friendly staff and great pool, but breakfast layout was chaotic and frustrating.

The Superior Double Room with Sea View was spacious and offered breathtaking views of the coastline. Breakfast was plentiful, featuring teapots for tea that added a nice touch. The central location made it easy to explore Bournemouth, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The uncovered balcony was unusable due to bad weather.

Oh mate, the scones at breakfast were a real treat, and I can't stop thinking about the lovely indoor pool! The entire hotel had a charming vibe, and that luxurious sea view from the room was just the icing on the cake.

Now, I did have a quirky hiccup when I booked a superior room but ended up in a standard. As for my wife, climbing through the window to access the balcony just isn't right! Still, the stay was memorable, and I hope to resolve this soon.

Stunning sea views and friendly service

During my stay, I truly enjoyed the breathtaking sea views from my room, which made my mornings special. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring I felt welcomed throughout my visit. The outdoor heated pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxation and soaking up the sun. the parking fee of £10 per day felt a bit steep for the experience.

The sea view was a highlight of our stay. The outdoor pool area was very inviting, perfect for sunbathing. Had a fantastic time enjoying the evening fireworks from our room balcony. I had a treatment at the spa that was fabulous.

We had a lovely stay with amazing pool facilities and delicious meals, especially the pork loin with almond jus. The breakfast was a highlight with great options, but some decor felt outdated.

the carlton has a fantastic beachfront location, perfect for relaxing. our standard double room was spacious and comfortable. i loved having access to the pool facilities, and the breakfast was quite nice. the free drinks in exchange for no housekeeping was a thoughtful touch that made our stay even better.

Great stay with nice views!

Just spent 2 nights in a cozy room with a super comfy bed and lovely sea views from the bar. The place is clean, and staff were really friendly. Downside, though, the TV acted up, which was a bit annoying. great for exploring the town and beaches!

It was just an optimal selection for spending night in Bournemouth with fantastic value for money. Sitting on the terrace for lunch felt like being abroad, enjoying the views. Consider checking out the cocktail bar early to avoid the rush.

Had an amazing time! The spa was a blast and the indoor pool was just what we needed. The sea view room was spacious and the location is great for beach access. We especially enjoyed unwinding in the jacuzzi after a long day.
