What guests think

At Village Hotel Bournemouth, travellers repeatedly praise the friendly staff and extensive leisure facilities, while noting dated rooms, inconsistent cleanliness, and noise from the gym or bar, alongside lift outages, paid parking, and mixed breakfast and restaurant experiences.

Many find the location convenient for the hospital and transport links, but it is not central to the beach or town. Families appreciate the pool, though children's swim times are limited and the area can feel crowded. Expect a practical stay with good facilities but variable upkeep and comfort.

Family of 4, cramped room with 2 roll out beds taking all floor space. Breakfast was good, no queuing which was a nice change to some recent stays. Hotel bar/restaurant, very busy. We decided to go off site as it wasn’t what we wanted as a family. Slow service for drinks also. My main issue is how the hotel is sold as having a swimming pool. This is true, however be aware children are only allowed in at certain times of the day and you would expect the pool to be open during these times however there is always 2 thirds of the pool taken up by swim lanes. Then the final third was crammed full of families. Although this was even more crammed when the water aerobics was on which left the remaining pool about 1/6 free for children. It was clear the members did. It want the guests in and around the leisure facilities. I assume equally as frustrated as the families. The hot tub was also broken during our stay which was annoying.

The lift was broken so put on the 2nd only problem was the gym is on the 1st floor with thumping music loud as hell till after 9 from what I can remember. Overall okay for a night on a business trip.

Dear Village Hotel Bournemouth Team, I stayed at your hotel this past week for a business trip and wanted to share some feedback. From Tuesday onwards, the lift was out of order, which meant I had to walk up to the fifth floor several times a day. This was very inconvenient and made my stay far less comfortable than expected. I had planned to book another four weeks with you, but given this experience, I’m unsure whether to go ahead. Could you let me know if this issue has been resolved, or if there are measures in place to prevent this happening again? I’d appreciate your response before I make my next booking decision.

The heating didn't work in the room, none of the sickets next to the bed. The leisure facilities would be great if sauna and steam room would wirk,like was advised in their website. Jacuzzi was so busy,so we could get there just once in 3 hours time been there,so no pleasure at all,then you have to queuere and keep checking,not just relaxing. Not a single water fountain, first leisure where I couldn't find a single water fountain.

Nice staff very friendly. Family room was cramped, but not much they can do with the room size. Steam room was broken, no kids allowed in the pool after 5.30. £5 to park when your staying there. Barely any vegetarian options at the restarunte. Veggie burgers had sold out at 7, chips and onion ring cone ordered. No onion rings left either. So chips it was. Food for others was good. Likely won't stay again if purely for the cheek of charging to park at a hotel your staying in.

Very disappointed with the room and cleaning standards. We booked club room with KING bed. On arrival we were checked in and on arrival in the allocated room we were disappointed with what we found. Bed is not a king bed but at most queen size. The tea and coffee making facility was full of dust and kettle dirty. All walls had scratches. Bathroom was very dirty showers tray had some dirty bits. Most shocking was the wall under the think and behind the toilet. The door was open and sun was shining on and you could see all the dirty marks and I will leave it to your imagination. We asked to be moved to twin room and they moved as to standard twin room which was a bit better but because of the dark decor you can see all scratches. Then on top off everything in the gym after swimming used the drying machine in the changing rooms and it burned the brand new swimming costume. That £50 in the bin. We are regular guest at the village hotels but this was the worst we had stayed at. So no return for us.

We had a good time as the facilities were brilliant (indoor pool and jacuzzi) which were included in our stay. Our king sized bed was very comfortable. Some minors though, we noticed that our room was not very clean (plenty of hair stuck in the chair in our room- not our hair) and the floor not cleaned very well either. We would really suggest improving the cleanliness aspect of this hotel as it would massively enhance one's experience.

I have stayed at various village hotels before and this one really fell short of my expectations. I was disappointed with my stay. The room had lots of stains all over the carpet and feels in need of some renovations. However finding a pair of men’s boxers behind the bathroom door was the worst part. This shows the level of cleaning. These were removed when I let the check in staff know thankfully.

Rooms tired and dated wallpaper in the bedrooms. We had a club room and so disappointed that we left a day early. Unless you’re a massive sports fan, the downstairs is taken over by sports TV. There are no quiet areas. The shower worked and bed was comfy and despite being across the road from the hospital. It wasn’t too noisy. The windows open only an inch and no curtains, just a broken roller blind. Staff were not helpful and we weren’t informed when the only lift broke and were stranded on the 4th floor as unable to manage the stairs. We couldn’t face eating in the hotel and went out for breakfast and evening meal. We won’t be returning.

If it wasn't in a convenient location I'd stop staying here because of her.

I have stayed here a few times and on this trip I ordered room service. It’s the first time I have eaten at the hotel and my meal was delivered with no cutlery. Get some sent up was a joke you have no phone to call reception just a QR code for a chat bot. After. Answer a number of questions way more than necessary to get through to a person I sat wait for a response for over 10 minutes while my food got cold. In the end I called the central reservation number the only number I could find. They called the hotel and finally someone brought me cutlery. I think I’ll go back to eating out and not eat at the hotel again. The food wasn’t even worth the wait

the main bar was being renovated which wasn't mentioned at the time of booking online - the "reserve" bar was staffed by a number of young people but one of them was rather arrogant in his demeanor - i was told at reception the football would be on the tv in the secondary bar but the same person clearly couldn't be bothered to make it happen - the game was live on terrestrial tv so shouldn't have been an issue - don't know his name but he frequently referred to myself (and other males) as "boss" - someone needs to have word with him because I was very close to it - pity, as I'm a big fan of Village Hotels and use them frequently outside of work - I usually need a room around 3 times a week for business and I won't say it'll put me off using all Village hotels, but I might well look around when I'm in the Bournemouth area.

When we arrived, which was after check in time, the rooms were not ready. Even though the receptionist was good enough to give us vouchers for drinks while we waited, that was not the point. We needed to check in, get changed and go to a business meeting in a hurry. As it was, I had to call the business we were meeting with and explain the situation. We made it on time but only just. It's a nice hotel but there's room for improvement in this area. We had breakfast and it was a bit hap hazard as well. Very little left at 8AM and I did not see any replenishing. One teen boy was cleaning tables as fast as he could. One teen girl was putting flat ware down as fast as he could clean them. They seemed under staffed to say the least. But the room was clean and comfortable. I give them that.

I tried my luck and asked the hotel room to be decorated to reflect the occasion and Village hotel delivered big time! They decorated the room with flowers and gave us a whole bottle of expensive Champagne to grace the occasion as well. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and impressed- Thank you so much Village hotel , we will surely be back. Hotel also has good restaurants and does fantastic grilled food and you have to try one of their burgers. Good quality hotel with fantastic customer service. We will be back !

Have stayed many times. Unfortunately the lift broke down and as I'm in a wheelchair, they kindly advised me which was appreciated and they would let me know when it was fixed. However after ordering room service and waiting over an hour, i chased up and clearly the order hadn't even been processed. They offered some refund (still waiting on that). But what itritated me the most is they never bothered to advise me the lift was fixed. I called reception in the end in the morning to be told oh yes its been fixed. Not impressed.

In the morning woken up by the air ambulance across the car park. This went on theough the early hours of the morning. We woke up in the morning to loud voices outaide our room, it was the cleaners. They even entered our room thinking we had checked out. The proceeded to ahout down the hallway, there was someone in the room. We got up and had a below average breakfast and chaecked out.

Our stay was good although couple of areas that could be improved. At breakfast on both days there didn't appear to be anyone ensuring that things were kept available, juice, plates, cereals had to be requested as had run out, bread was very dried and could be covered easily to avoid this. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Prefer to have a personal communication on arrival which wasn't the case when we arrived and had to do own check-in. Someone did arrive when we had completed and apologised but we had already muddled through. Nice hotel and comfortable.
