Cumberland Hotel - OCEANA COLLECTION

presidential suite was big

Amazing staff who went out of their way to help us with an issue. Friendly and always on hand to help. Huge to praise to Lisa and Ali.

My partner and I had a fantastic stay at the Cumberland. We were in Bournemouth for a concert and this hotel was ideal as it was close to the venue and had a good location overlooking the bay. Our room was comfortable and good value but what really stood out was how good the staff were. Lisa made us feel welcome and gave us some great advice on the facilities and the waiters and managers were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was very nice and we enjoyed the outside and inside pools, as well as the sauna during our short stay.

Old and tied hotel. Desperately in need od renovations,images online do not repesent current condition of the hotel.

I booked the hotel for the indoor pool. Sadly the pool is in the hotel next door there were no signs to find it so I had to ask another guest who was also going to use it. It was raining and extremely windy so I wasn’t impressed at having to go outside to get to it. The pool is in a basement & There was a children swimming class being given the instructor was extremely LOUD & it eco to the extent it was uncomfortable The water was COLD and pool roped off so swimming wasn’t pleasant I only stayed in 10 minutes. The changing room didn’t have any bags for my wet swim suit so once the hotel took the towel off me what was I supposed to do my swim suit. My room has the metal extraction running up outside and it was noisy & the smells of food was too much as I couldn’t shut the window as the handle had been locked & no key in the room. The mattress sloped to one side from use of the one side so you find yourself rolling to that side, All 4 pillows were different on the bed. The stair carpet is stuck with tape trying to cover up holes from wear n tear on most floors and some holes not covered at all anyone in heels would need tobe carful. I was on the 3rd floor so saw quite a lot of this.
